Thanks for the info. Again my only concern is that we are given the extended version in the correct aspect ratio the same way Warner Archive did for Superman.

I am looking forward to this, but please let the extended version be 2.39 ratio and not 1.33 as it was broadcast.

If it can happen I would love to see a full analog restoration of the original Todd-Ao elements in 70 MM 30fps. The film being a travelogue is made for such images.

If it is OK I would like one as well. How do I PM you ??

I really enjoyed this Bond film but with UHD on the Horizon and the fact that it was shot anamorphically on film and finished in true 4K, I will wait to pick it up on UHD HDR instead.

Thanks Robert. I hope this practice would be applied to every 35 MM horizontal production by all studios. BTW, this being a large format film, would it not have been more beneficial to scan it at 8K instead of 6K ??

I have a question for Robert Harris Was the Ten Commandment BD restoration the same with what was done with the new Spartacus BD ?? Meaning, did they actually restore and scan the original 8 perf Camera Negative ??

I saw many films at the Century Plaza in Los Angeles with the HPS-4000 system. Unfortunately that theatre closed down and was demolished in 03. When the sound was not tampered with, it was the finest sounding theatre. And being in LA, that is saying something.

I have never seen this film. Looking forward to checking it out.

From what I understand only the pre-title sequence is cropped. The rest of the film is fine. Still unacceptable.

For those living in the Bay Area, the Castro theatre in San Francisco will be showing Vertigo in 70 MM DTS digital sound Fri Sep 4 thru Mon Sep 7 This is one of those rare occasions where a Vistavision large format film was not reduction printed, and can be viewed in all its original glory...

Who would have thought a movie like Summer Lovers would spark such an interesting discussion about AR and film format. :)

I am well aware that very very few theatres can project the Hateful Eight properly. Cineramadome in Hollywood is one of those rare few which has a 85 foot screen with the necessary anamorphic lens to de-squeeze the 70 MM picture. I honestly think Tanrantino is sending a big F**k You to the...

Not quite. Star Trek IV had a couple of 70 MM prints encoded with Dolby SR.

If have I am not mistaken this was the very first film shot in Super 35.
