The current dvd of Cleopatra is excellent even though I believe it is from a 35mm source. A new 70mm transfer with the correct aspect ratio of 2:20 would be most welcome.
The incorrectly placed music at the end of disc 1 was never fixed. What WAS fixed was the addition of the exit music on disc 2 which was missing on the first copies.Originally Posted by TonyD /forum/thread/298900/cleopatra-bluray#post_3670347
there was a fix for that error.
A mail away request was shipped to people wanted one, I have it.
Also the entire movie will likely be on 1 disc.
btw, 1 question mark would have been good enough.
You are correct about that.Originally Posted by Douglas R /forum/thread/298900/cleopatra-bluray#post_3670608

I hope so!!! I never did pick up the DVD since I missed grabbing the three disc set.Originally Posted by trajan /forum/thread/298900/cleopatra-bluray#post_3681503
Could CLEOPATRA be part of Fox 75 anniversary?
Please let us know what it looks like. (I am of course taking it for granted that you will be watching!)Originally Posted by Douglas R /forum/thread/298900/cleopatra-bluray#post_3683229
In the UK, Sky Movies (owned by News International who own Fox) are showing the world premiere of CLEOPATRA in HD on 3 May.

I didn't see that Channel 4 showing (Channel 4 is not a Sky TV channel of course) but Sky are making much of the their broadcast being in HD "for the first time ever" and "world premiere exclusive" so I assume that it's the real deal! I'll report back when I've seen it.Originally Posted by OliverK /forum/thread/298900/cleopatra-bluray#post_3683379
Cleopatra was shown before in "HD" on Sky channel 4 HD - it was a hideous upconvert.
Hopefully this time it really will be real HD.
You are of course right that Channel 4 HD has nothing to do with Sky and if Sky announced it like that I am hoping for you to be able to enjoy Cleopatra in full HD glory and hopefully an adequate bitrate, too!Originally Posted by Douglas R /forum/thread/298900/cleopatra-bluray#post_3683419
