The transfers to film – if there was a transfer to film which I don’t think there was (but I could be very wrong in that) – certainly wasn’t at 2K either. jms has stretched the truth to get a point across more than once – we’ve argued about some of them in the past – but that whole series of tweets was pretty ridiculous. Felt more like winding (the less technically knowledgeable) fans up and to encourage them to go hassle someone about an HD release.
There’s one other thing that gives me that impression. For years he’s been asked countless times about an HD release, remasters or CGI, etc., and he’s never once suggested what amounts to a hi-def copy is sitting in Warner’s vaults . . . What, he just forgot about that. . . . . Sorry, but it doesn’t exist. The 4:3 version would be better, there's no deying that and have been arguing that for years - but his attempted manipulation of the facts (and fans perceptions) reached a new low with that series of tweets when read together. But that's just a personal opinion, obviously.
[edit]
And so it begins. Folks believing Warner is holding onto a hi-def version of the show (and Amazon should access it) have started signing a petition. lol.

Well meaning, but will do little other than maybe give some “news” site or blog something to point at showing how motivated the fans are, and how nasty Warner is . . . . . Though they’ll be lucky to get 1,000 button presses (or the intial 500 figure for that matter). Anyway.
