Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I don't think it's a remake, and I certainly don't think they'd make a high quality trailer for a soundtrack release. I think it has to be a new 40th anniversary bluray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,306 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Interesting article from 5 years ago: https://geektyrant.com/news/2012/3/11/close-encounters-of-the-third-kind-blu-ray-3d-trailer.html Have they sat on a 3D conversion for 5 years waiting for the 40th Anniversary? Surely there's not much else they could package in a new Bluray release to convince people to buy the film again, other than a 4K version? Which seems to have already been announced for release in September: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=286872 Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,306 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Thought the existing Bluray was recent -- it's ten years old! That version used a 2006 2K IP scan, so not the original camera negatives. Excitingly, they appear to have remastered the original camera negatives in 4K for the 40th Anniversary UHD Bluray release: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B072NCTDNM?tag=bluraycom05-21 I wonder if they created a Dolby Atmos sound mix? That would have required going back to the original scoring session tapes........ hmmm! Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corellian2019 386 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I hope they didn't go crazy with the HDR on the 4K disc; given the increased luminescence of said treatment, the effect would be positively blinding for this film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,512 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I like the style of the trailer, but not the new CGIs. Is a cinema rerelease on the cards?

karelm 2,912 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yes, this seems to be a theatrical relerease (or at least in limited theaters). Maybe even a new "Directors Cut - the Definitive Final Version". http://deadline.com/2017/07/sony-close-encounters-of-the-third-kind-teaser-trailer-1202123703/ Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,306 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Spielberg pretty much disowned the 20th Anniversary version after that impromptu audience poll years ago. It wasn't even included on the Bluray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Super, I never liked the 20th anniversion version! Cheesy E.T., not for me! I own the two versions of CE3K on an anniversary DVD boxset. Not sure about the final scene in the ship (can we return back in time when people had imagination and didn't need to "see" everything?)... but I think the montage of the rest of the movie is better than the original. That seems very hard for a director to just "correct" a movie without scrapping it by adding unecessarily scene (I think about George Lucas here). Spielberg seems to have understood that after many years, his "recent" reworked version of Jaws is very sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spielberg seems to have understood that after many years, his "recent" reworked version of Jaws is very sober. He talked about that pretty specifically in this interview from 2011 Quote (In the future) there’s going to be no more digital enhancements or digital additions to anything based on any film I direct. I’m not going to do any corrections digitally to even wires that show. If 1941 comes on Blu-Ray I’m not going to go back and take the wires out because the Blu-Ray will bring the wires out, that are guiding the airplanes down Hollywood Blvd. At this point right now I think letting movies exist in the era, with all the flaws and with all of the flourishes, is a wonderful way to mark time and mark history. I’m in total agreement with you. I wish you could talk George (Lucas) into doing the same thing! Well, I can’t! Yeah, I don’t think anybody can! George goes his own way and I respect him for it, but my new philosophy about this is to let sleeping dogs lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
