| “Yellow Submarine” digitally restored for DVD release in May It is a Beatles movie that would become a "midnight movie" favorite, it has been released on VHS and standard DVD, but they were mere transfers from the original film negatives. Now, almost 45 years after its original release in theaters, Yellow Submarine has been digitally remastered for Blue-Ray and DVD release in May. If you're a Beatles fan and you have seen this film countless times, you're probably thinking "how can this be better?" Take a look at the trailer above. According to the press release, this new version of Yellow Submarine is in 4K digital resolution and "all done by hand, frame by frame." The soundtrack album will also be reissued, although judging from the mention at Billboard.com about it featuring 15 songs, this is most likely a new version of the 1999 Songtrack version of Yellow Submarine with then-new mixes of the songs, and not any of Sir George Martin's beautiful incidental music that was on the original 1969 soundtrack album. No word yet on if this will be shown in theaters for any one-off showings before the Blue-Ray/DVD release date. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Jazz News :: home page |
