The Empire Strikes Back - Grindhouse (version 2-DCP sourced)

Welcome to our second official release, the 35mm version
of The Empire Strikes Back.
--------------------------------------------------------
January 2015,

As a thank you to the OT community, and our fans, we are
releasing another early version of the movie. We hope that
people everywhere can view the original version as
Lucas released it back in 1981.

We understand there is still a need for the fully restored
version to be completed. However, we think that documenting
the other prints we have is also needed for historical
perspective. Some, but, not all of the flaws are kept intact
to be indicative of the condition of the print.

--------------------
Format : WMV

        VIDEO : 1080p
        AUDIO : From Japanese Special Collection laserdisc(?)

Where : Currently, it will be uploaded to MySpleen

        x parts as multiple files, with PAR files for correction.

        We anticipate releases on a.b.StarWars & Other torrent sites shortly after. Contact us
        if you have experiences and credentials with the major ones.

----------------------
Corrections : Minor cleanup with major color correction done.

History : This version is based on the Eastman print for some
reels, and partial Fuji for the rest.

Some scenes had warping, and all the heads and tails had
damage on them.

Technical : Scan resulted in a HD 1080p version. There have been
several downscales to 720p and 480p files.

Compatibility :
At this point, there is no GOUT compatibility or subtitle support.
Also, the audio is English only.

Methodology : This version is a color corrected version
similar to the first version in sources, It was created from a DCP
that was used for a theatrical screening in 2013.

Raw Data : We currently have no plans on releasing the raw frames of
this version, however, if you have a project that needs certain scenes
we will consider it.

Future : There is possible news of the rumored LPP foreign version of
the Empire Strikes Back, this is still being followed up on.
