Earlier this week we announced our forthcoming limited edition dual-format release of Withnail & I, to be released on October 20th. If you haven’t taken a look yet, please head over to withnailfilm.com for all of the details. This is going to be one fantastic set!
As well as Withnail,
the package will also include writer-director Bruce Robinson’s follow-up
feature, How to Get Ahead in Advertising.
Both have been restored at 2K resolution exclusively for
this release. Our technical producer, James White, will be writing a blog post
about his work on these films next week.
In the meantime here’s the technical information…
WITHNAIL & I has been exclusively restored for this
release by Arrow Films.
The original negative was
scanned in 2K resolution on a pin-registered ArriScan. The film was graded on
the Nucoda grading system. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris and light
scratches were removed through a combination of software and other digital restoration
tools. Image stability and related issues were also improved.
The original mono soundtrack
was transferred from the magnetic reels. Audio issues such as bumps, clicks and
audible buzz were repaired or removed.
The film was fully graded under
