At the time of writing this article, Charles B. Pierce’s 1972 film The Legend of Boggy Creek is not yet available on Blu-ray, but that will soon change thanks to a restoration that the George Eastman Museum is currently working on. Observer-Reporter brings the news to our attention today, teasing a 4K restoration that’ll arrive in theaters and on Blu-ray.
The site notes, “Pamela Pierce Barcelou (the director’s daughter) has partnered with the George Eastman Museum to restore “The Legend of Boggy Creek” in 4K resolution for an eventual Blu-Ray and theatrical release. This will be the first time the film has been seen in its proper, Techniscope format since the original theatrical release.”
They add, “The restoration is being performed using the original negative from Technicolor and original prints. The elements will also be stored and cared for by museum.”
More details as we learn them!
