They said they are working with two 35mm prints but will updateIs it going to be produced from the 70mm negative?
Knowing VCI they will price it right - they have been adding great commentary etc -I too have it but the PR version. It's non-anamorphic wide screen and no 1.33:1 version. At the time I bought the my version, they wanted way to much $$$ for the Milestone disc.
The most obvious example here is the Todd-AO version of Oklahoma. Progressive scanning in the Blu-ray format is locked to 24 fps, and with the Todd-AO version being 30 fps, it's formatted as 1080i.Is there such a thing as interlaced blu-ray?
It never occurred to me before

I'd assume UCLA created fine-grain positives for both versions. Kind of would be curious to see what the 65mm version looks like in 4K given that The Big Trail's 65mm negative isn't extant.They said they are working with two 35mm prints but will update
I think I remember actually preferring the fullscreen version of this to the wide
This is the message I had rec'vd - I have gotten permission from UCLA to access a couple of 35mm nitrate film elements - I think they are asking Tom Weaver? to do a commentaryI'd assume UCLA created fine-grain positives for both versions.

For this genre Tom is the prefect guy for the assignment!!This is the message I had rec'vd - I have gotten permission from UCLA to access a couple of 35mm nitrate film elements - I think they are asking Tom Weaver? to do a commentary
Blu-ray can do 30p. Some encoders can't, but it's a valid spec.The most obvious example here is the Todd-AO version of Oklahoma. Progressive scanning in the Blu-ray format is locked to 24 fps, and with the Todd-AO version being 30 fps, it's formatted as 1080i.
I think to be a bit more precise, is to say that Blu-ray discs can only be encoded as 1080i 30fps, but most Blu-ray and 4K players can convert that to 1080p, or even upscale it to 2160pBlu-ray can do 30p. Some encoders can't, but it's a valid spec.
It appears that this title is no longer listed anywhere on the VCI website, not even in the coming soon category.
