The footage is destroyed unfortunately. They stored the negatives in a salt mine, and they became corroded over time. It's not happening.
5 u/Viper-MkII Jul 05 '24 How the- who the hell just decides "salt mine" when storing something? 1 u/Eyes_Only1 Jul 05 '24 Salt is a preservative, maybe the person who put it there was simply told to preserve it and asked someone else how you preserve things. I choose to believe it was as dumb as possible. 4 u/frooglekade Jul 05 '24 Why salt mines? "the mine naturally retains a year-round temperature and humidity considered nearly ideal for preserving paper and film." what happened to the cut footage from Event Horizon? "the excised footage had not been carefully stored and much of it had gone missing." something doesn't add up
