n the LA Times there is an article regarding the upcoming release of Universal's classics ..and this quote stood out:
"Every attempt was made to digitally restore these films from the original negatives. But for any given title there may be elements that are incomplete and aged to the point they may not be the best to use," Schade said.
That's the case with Tod Browning's 1931 film "Dracula" with Bela Lugosi. Schade and his crew are not using the original nitrate negative but a first-generation print that was made off it. "We don't have a complete original negative," Schade said.'
So is this the rumored Library of Congress lavender print that was brought up on this board long ago...? or just another remaster of the 1938 reissue...?
