Suspiria 4K/BD Futurepak (Crowd-Funded) (UK)

[MifuneFan]

Already £13,410 raised of the £15,000 goal, pretty impressive.

Target reached! Stretch goals coming soon.

After watching the 4K Synapse restoration at the Kentucky Theater in Lexington this Sunday, I really want this in 4K UHD.

The problem is: we've seen recently released "4K" releases like Arrow's THE THING that do not look like 4K at all (you can say Shout! artificially sharpened their release all you want - if you are doing a 4K restoration of a 35mm film negative, you should have a tremendous amount of detail, short of the actual camera focus being off).

So the problem is: what is this really going to look like? Should I invest @ $35 to $40 US on something that could look worse than Synapse's regular blu-ray edition?

We expect it to look like the Italian release, which I already have.

There seems to be an audio problem with the Italian release. The vocals are too soft.

I am upgrading to the UK release because of the extras, which the Italian release did not have, and also, I am hoping for the audio to be fixed.

I already have so many versions of Suspiria, and I am somebody who cannot tell the difference between them!! (I am buying the new version only based on the screenshots shared on this forum!)

Possibly, but they are saying it's going to be a new 4K transfer, so we're still in territory.

Did Cult Films post screen caps of what this is going to look like?

There are only two restoration/remastering works: the Synapse one and the TLEFilms (Italian) one. Presumably, the UK release will use the TLEFilms one.

[MifuneFan]

It is the TLEFilms one.

They're over 28K GBP now, surpassing their stretch goal. Under 200 Steelbooks remaining.

Stretch Goal : if with your support this campaign reaches £25,000 we will make this Limited Edition even more special! We'll add an additional disc of bonus features by filming and editing our own extra features and/or sourcing and reviving long-disappeared iconic documentaries on Dario Argento - and more depending on funding and production budget! This will mean that you will get more for the same amount pledged and that every penny will go towards making this project your own unique definitive edition! So, spread the word!

Wonder how this will compare to the Synapse release I just got?

[wjasoncul]

Shouldn't this be moved to the Future/Metalpak section now?

This is a FuturePak case. The case opens out and lies flat on a table.

Artwork looks pretty great

Hopefully these start shipping out this month.
