Hard Day's Night someday colorized?

I think it would be interesting to see this in color. I can't find whether or not it will ever be in the works though  :-\

I'm not sure A Hard Day's Night would do well colorized.  Richard Lester worked closely with Gilbert Taylor, the film's cinematographer, to create a black and white film masterpiece where indoor shots, shadows and subdued lighting were key elements.

In the clip someone posted recently of the docu Making of A Hard Days Night, it was discussed whether they would shoot in color or black and white and it was both a cost concern and creative so they stayed in black and white.

Yes that's a very good point.

I'm old school.  I will naturally tend to prefer the original version of anything.

By that same token, I really should be opposed to the remixes of Pepper and Abbey Road, but I'm not.  Why? - I don't know.

I always watch shows on World War II very intently, Kev, because I just have a feeling I might see my daddy in one of them. I know it’s a long shot but anything can happen. When the prison camp that my dad had been held in was liberated he was stunned to see that one of the troops was a guy he’d grown up with. And then there was the night I stumbled across an interview with a gentleman who had been a gunner on the B-24 that Dad piloted. I contacted the writer and before I knew it I was having a very surreal phone conversation with this man. So I keep my eyes open!
