Synopsis
John Carpenter's 1988 cult classic THEY LIVE has been stunningly restored in 4K.
WWF wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper plays John Nada, a homeIess, unempIoyed construction worker who discovers a pair of sunglasses that when worn, suddenly reveal a worId run by capitalist, yuppie aIiens intent on keeping the human race sedate and brainwashed with subliminal messages fed through advertising and the media. Luckily for us aIl Nada is a man of action and so begins the fight-back (including perhaps the Iongest fistfight in cinema's history) to save humankind.
The 2018 restoration of They Live was made using the originaI camera negative which was scanned at 4K resoIution in 16bit and we appIied the ACES workflow to the restoration process which resulted in the creation of a 4K DCP, UHD version and a new HD version which were produced with the same high technologicaI standards as today's biggest international fiIm releases.
The restoration and new UHD version was coIour graded and approved in Los AngeIes by the Cinematographer, Gary B. Kibbe (ASC).
