“Original negatives were scanned, edited, dust-busted and color-corrected with great care and attention taken to stay true to the look and feel of the original standard-definition 4×3 version,” is what HBO has to say about the new HD 16:9 widescreen edition of “The Wire.”
“The Wire” won’t be available on Blu-ray until next summer. But.
