Chat with SW Trilogy DVD producer
The Washington Post has a transcript of yesterday's live chat with Van Ling who served as the DVD producer for the Star Wars Trilogy DVDs. While I found most of it interesting, one little nugget really jumped out:
"Van Ling: The films were all restored to HD, and are actually ready for digital cinema release should Lucasfilm so choose. I'm not aware of any HD broadcast plans at the moment, but if there are enough people interested, maybe they can do a digital cinema thing. It would look amazing!"
I'd love to see either HBO-HD, who broadcast "Attack of the Clones" in HD, or HDNet pick up the rights to broadcast the HD versions of the first three films.
