I dont know why, but old movies have more atmosphere, love for details, take time to tell a story and filmed on real locations, not just blue-screen like today.
But why didnt they release it with multichannel already in 1973?
rdimucci said: "When THE EXORCIST was re-released to theaters in 1979, some 70mm blow-up prints were made. A multi-channel sound re-mix was done for those prints, which has been the basis for the numerous video releases since then. The analog sound was later converted to digital for the 2000...
Or they play the film in a studio and record it new with 5 tracks/channels.
I have the Bluray and on the theatrical version, the dialogue sounds good. On the "Direcors Cut", it sounds scratchy, especially when somebody talks loud or screams. And when Regan says "Let him f*ck you", its stereo on...
Does anybody how they did it with "Exorcist" and "Omen"? Mono to surround. Just copy he original mono-track 5 times or did they record dialogue and effects separately?
Hi,
I always wonder how movie-studios convert mono into surround?
If the film was made with only one mono-track, how do they create 5 channels, like in "The Exorcist"?
