Well, Warner has announced Forbidden Planet for November, so it seems that this may be an early 2007 release. Time will tell.

All 65mm formats use five frames. Additionally, the 65mm negative frame dimensions for Todd-AO, Super Panavision, Ultra Panavision and Dimension-150 are: 2.072 x 0.906 inches. Interesting page from the Widescreen Museum: http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/wide...spectratio.htm
