They are using the existing HD master except for the opening credits and an extended scene because those are the only sections that were usable from the original negative. From today's episode of their podcast:

[The original negative] was covered in mold and although the element was original negative...it was just not properly kept so it was in really rough shape where we couldn't use it.

I was able to use the opening credit sequences which were in okay enough shape that we could use them. Then I also included an extended bank robbery scene sourced from the original negative which is in the bonus features where you can kind of get a little glimpse of the quality of the element.

We ended up using the original finished master of that they had as a backup.

The discussion about the movie starts at 00:39:51
