My question is where will this be screened? All the theaters built for 70mm exhibition here in Minneapolis are long gone. There isn't a theater here that can properly show Ultra Panavision 70. The Cooper Cinerama was torn down in 1991.

I'm ignorant about this sort of thing, so forgive if this is a dumb question...but could it be shot on 70mm but then released to theaters for digital projection?

My thoughts exactly. We don't have any venues equipped to show it either. So, what will happen is 35mm reduction prints will be struck with less integrity and shown in the 'lesser' venues. I detest being known officially as a 'lesser venue'. Perhaps its time to build a few more movie palaces dedicated to movies that used to look like movies, not glorified TV shows beamed onto a big screen. Just a thought.

In the United States, I'd be surprised if many places outside of Los Angeles and New York City have it before the wide/digital release in early January.


I like that Tarantino is trying to keep film alive but it's a useless gesture when literally 95% or more of the audience isn't in a realistic distance of a theater playing it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 35mm prints for this are hard letterboxed much like Tomorrowland.

I agree. Tarantino very publicly evicted the previous owners of the New Beverly Theatre (he's the landlord) because they removed all of the film projection equipment and replaced them with digital. If you are not familiar with the New Beverly, it is an art house and repertory cinema that specializes in offbeat and older movies. So the transition to digital made sense, since most studios are only shipping DCPs of their films, even older, catalog titles. Tarantino was furious, evicted the team running the theater, and had the digital equipment removed and replaced with 70mm/35mm projectors, telling the public that there will be NO digital projection at the New Beverly for as long as he is the landlord. This was one of the few theatres that ran Tarantino's Django Unchained in 35mm in the US, and this may hold true for The Hateful Eight, but in 70mm.

I suspect it will be shown in 70mm at the Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan. If so, I will be there on Day One.

Tarantino is saying they have 100 theatres equipped for 70mm as of July. Also, he says that Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One is being filmed using Ultra Panavision 70 lenses - (maybe only part of it?)

There is an IMAX theater about 40 minutes from me located in Grand Rapids.
They had a 70 mm screening of Interstellar last year. I really hope The Hateful Eight plays there. I will see it opening day.

It's interesting that he specifies that Rogue One is using Ultra Panavision 70 lenses, rather than shooting 70mm. Could they be using them with Arri Alexa 65 rigs? The latest Mission: Impossible movie used 65/70mm lenses, but it was all digital with the Alexa 65 cameras.

It looked like to me that on the current Mission Impossible that they used anamorphic lenses on the Alexa.

They have been used on many films for several years now. Way back from the Total Recall remake.

Lenses used for 70mm (save UP 70) were spherical so they are completely standard as far as filming goes.

I was expecting this to be a big Magnificant Seven-esque Western with a Tarantino spin. Despite the Western framing, it looks more like an Agatha Christie closed room thriller.

I don't think they shot Alexa 65 for the whole picture, just some of it.

My understanding is that the Alexa 65 was used for the water sequence and that the majority of the film was shot on...film. Star Wars is also shooting on film stock.
