Are there any news about this?
The remaster was allegedly supposed to be done this month.

No new news as far as I’ve seen.

And reading back on that tweet about March:

“UPDATE: Sony is in Season 5 of The Shield 4K Conversion and should complete the series by March. How quickly that results in streaming and DVD options is TBD.”

Who knows if “series” means season 1-7 or series 5. The tweet was sent out in December and I don’t see them converting season 5-7 to HD over the space of 4 months. I believe the conversion is far from done and we’re looking at 2019 at the very least.

It sounds like it was completed in March to me.

@ShawnRyanTV: They are done converting all episodes and I will be looking at the final product shortly. #TheShield

boom.

One of my favorite shows ever. But since the first news about the show finally coming to Blu-ray, the initial excitement has turned into this:

Well, that certainly put the smack down on my previous post. I’ve never been happier to be proven wrong.

Between buying season 1-6 of “24” on Blu-Ray (from Japan) and this news, it will complete everything that I have ever wanted on BluRay in terms of television series.

It’s almost been 3 years sense this was announced and they still are not done and we still don’t have any new news.

Yeah, this is taking entirely too long. It's ridiculous. It'd be faster if they were just doing it without the ******* producer's involvement. I'm so tired of these idiots holding everything up. Just like we still don't have Abyss on BD.

If people think 3 years is long, when I met James Cameron in August 2010 here in Seattle, I specifically asked him when we would see The Abyss on Blu-ray. He said he was excited about it and was getting ready to oversee the transfer for it and said if people were impressed with the Aliens release they would be more than happy with how Abyss would be turning out. That is coming up on 8 years ago since that conversation. With the 30th anniversary approaching next year my guess is we will see a 4K anniversary release finally so hopefully the wait won't be much longer.

If he screws us by only having 1 cut in 4K like T2, I will NOT be happy.

I dont think he will, to my knowledge there are just the two cuts of that film, the theatrical and the expanded. As long as the expanded cut is on there I am happy.

I’m patient. Have no problem waiting.
Don’t mind the powers that be take their time and get it right.

Why the hell would you assume the time it takes makes any difference in terms of getting it right? They'll probably still screw up something no matter what. I want to watch the show in HD NOW.

Too bad! Like much in life, you have to wait your turn.
Or ya know...cry about it.

While I understand it takes a good amount of time to remaster movies and tv shows but why do these creators and directors have to be involved in the process if they are doing other things and won’t commit to getting their movie or show out ASAP while doing a good job on it. While I have multiple jobs lined up to do in my line of work I do 1 job at a time to make sure I get the job done right and done at good enough time that people are not complaining that it’s taking to long to finish. If they can’t commit full time at getting these remastered done then they should allow people they trust and who can commit from start to finish to do the job.

It’s like me starting a job and while I still have other jobs to do and I drag my feet on it.

I don’t know the specifics of what all is involved with an artist going back to work on their artwork. I’m guessing that they are doing a lot of the work on their own time outside of the projects they are currently contracted to work on.
If true, then you would have to rethink your post to factor in doing all your paid work first then after a long day of slaying the dragon, going into a studio(when it’s avaialbe) to do whatever work that needs to be done on the pet project.
Again, I don’t know what goes into all of these releases on home video, but I’m pretty sure these creators are not just sitting around waiting to work remastering projects that historically don’t boast big sales. Even worse for TV shows.

I'm guessing you're a glass is half empty kind of guy right?

[sneakersislife]

If it was me, and I spent time sweat and years of my life making something, I'd want to be sure the outcome was done correctly.

The show was great, and I want the best possible version of it available, I don't mind the wait.

[Se.Vero]

So what options are there to get this series in 1:1,33 OAR dvd?
As far as i can see every dvd release from season 4 onwards was 1: 1,78?

While i can't wait to finally getting this on blu-ray, i kind of want to watch it in the OAR first. Liked "The Wire " much more in 1.33.
(The job they did on the reframing was excellent though imo.)

Like I said if they don’t have to time to make sure it gets done in a decent amount of time then they should allow someone they trust to do the remastering.
