Restore and remaster Selena (1997) for 4K Ultra HD and UHD


Restore and remaster Selena (1997) for 4K Ultra HD and UHD
The Issue
Selena (1997) is a culturally significant film that tells the story of Selena Quintanilla—an icon whose influence on music, culture, and representation continues to grow worldwide. The film also marked a major milestone in Latina representation in Hollywood and launched the film career of Jennifer Lopez.
Despite its importance and enduring popularity, Selena has never received a proper high-quality restoration. Current home video and streaming versions are outdated, lacking the visual clarity, color accuracy, and audio quality that modern audiences expect.
Because the film was shot on 35mm, it is fully capable of being restored and remastered from the original negatives into true 4K Ultra HD, complete with modern HDR and remastered sound. Many films from the same era have already received this treatment—Selena deserves the same care and respect.
We respectfully call on Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment to:
Perform a full 4K scan of the original film elements
Restore and remaster Selena (1997) for 4K Ultra HD and UHD digital release
Preserve this important film for future generations in the highest possible quality
This restoration would honor Selena Quintanilla’s legacy, the fans who continue to support her, and the importance of Latino representation in cinema. This film deserves a 4K ultra HD release and UHD, with Dolby vision and Dolby atmos sound, and release it on 4K ultra HD and UHD.
