Will Aliens, Alien 3 and A:R get 4K upscalings?

[The Old One]

Necessary changes, worthwhile for the expensive 4K process.

[Local Trouble]

Would you buy the physical media to place on the shelf?

[The Old One]

Absolutely.

From what I see there presenting the original theatrical cut of Alien3 with a q&a with Alec Gills and Richard Edlund. It will be interesting to hear what they say.

Also for those who have a guilty pleasure for Resurrection, Jean -Pierre is doing the Q&A when they screen that film the week after. 

For Alien and Aliens my it's going to be a treat.

I'd be ecstatic if they do present 4K masters for each film.

Those are some ambitious stipulations.

That's Old One for ya!

When the Star Trek: The Original Series was being remastered for blu-ray, she successfully lobbied Paramount to replace Spock's dog with a more suitable alien lifeform.

Now it doesn't even look like a dog!

I bet that rod puppet would look glorious in 4k.

If they do a 4K remaster, they must fix those effects before even trying to do the remaster since it's going to be way obvious how bad the compositing was done.

[SM]

It was way obvious in cinemas in 1992.

[The Old One]

Exactly why it requires a repair.

[Voodoo Magic]

If they do an Alien³ 4K remaster, a cleanup would be nice. Like reversing Newt and Hick's deaths.

No.

So... you're undecided?

[The Old One]

Exhaustion.
Artificially rectifying their deaths is disrespectful to Hicks and Newt's memory. lol

[Voodoo Magic]

Exhaustion.

Alien: Exhaustion

In all seriousness, would Disnox spend the money fixing Alien3 fx?  Are there any examples of this done for a generally non-highly regarded film? I honestly don't know -  why I'm asking.

[The Old One]

No. Blade Runner's the only one and it's popularity and quality eclipses Alien³ and Aliens IMO. It's a pipedream, unfortunately.



"But it is a good dream."

[Local Trouble]

Exhaustion.

Alien: Exhaustion

An ideal title for Ridley's next movie.

[The Old One]

lmfao

Good one.

[SiL]

Exactly why it requires a repair.

It's always needed a repair, doesn't mean they'll bother.
