"The thing that I found so 𝘣𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 is that certain factions of the Kubrick audience seem to think that Criterion can just take these films and just do 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 to them. And that is 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 not the case. These are 100% collaborations with the studio—in the case of 'Eyes Wide Shut,' Warner Bros. and the Stanley Kubrick estate.
Before we even got to the color-correct in London, ['Eyes Wide Shut'] was already color-matched to an archived 35mm print. So by the time we sat down with Larry Smith, there had already been a color grade to match the original theatrical color grade, which—as we know—is different for whatever reasons."
