Is it going to be the uncut version, or the lousy director’s cut?

A little bit of an update from the Unearthed Films FB group:

"The Guyver Is almost done... it will be our 1st 4K release and since it is our 1st... still figuring out the 4k tech specs we need, to do it right. Cleaning it up a bit is what you would call the restoration process. Takes longer than we want but alas, has to be done."

Unearthed Films announced that they have a UHD release in the works for this one.
