Is this going to be mocked in the same way as Turner’s colorization of Black & White Movies in the 80s?

i don’t think it will be mocked/derided, only because it’s preserving them as they are, not pushing a change on them. i would LOVE to have original B&W movies in HRD, but to take them and colorize them? not so much.

There has been some impressive work done in restoring color to recordings of old television broadcasts. It’s true though that much media was not shot for color playback and benefits from its original lighting, contrast, etc.

well, i’m thinking more specifically about things that were intended to be B&W in the first place, like the Maltese Falcon. i would hate to see that in color, but i would LOVE to see it in HDR.
