This new version will hold its world premiere across two evenings on July 4 and 5 at the Seine Musicale, located in the western suburbs of Paris, according to a news release (with a hat tip to our friend Peter Labuza). This special screening will feature a new live score by over 250 musicians from the National Orchestra of France, the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra

Apparently, Ridley Scott's Napoleon film is already up on Apple TV - you have been warned!
I have heard rumours of a full restoration by the Cinematheque. It is wonderful when our advances in technology can be put to non-lethal purposes. I am very curious to see the two hours that were missing from the Brownlow restoration. I wait in anticipation!
