Spielberg’s ‘Jaws’ Swimming in HD Soon — No Digital Cleanup!
While I’ve already watched Steven Spielberg’s Jaws about 42 times in HD on DirecTV, I still would do just about anything for a loseless new transfer supervised directly by Spielberg.
It looks like I may get my wish as AICN, hot off the phone with the iconic director, reports that Jaws will be arriving on Blu-ray in the near future SANS digital corrections (funny from the guy who removed the guns in E.T.).
“There’s going to be no more digital enhancements or digital additions to anything based on any film I direct,” said Spielberg. “I’m not going to do any corrections digitally to even wires that show… At this point right now I think letting movies exist in the era, with all the flaws and all of the flourishes, is a wonderful way to mark time and mark history.”
It’s nice to know there are filmmakers who “get it”. Just give me my lossless sound and perfect picture and I’m golden. I just wish I could pre-order my ticket back to Amity today…
One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).
Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”
In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”
Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.
Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”
“She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
