The Columbia press release states that the new Annie (1982) Special Edition will be P&S only.
This can't be true. They wouldn't do this to a Panavision movie, would they?
The first release, which contained a 2.35 version, had some framing problems in a few scenes. I guess there won't be any problem with the new version since the whole thing will be mis-framed.
What is in these studio's mind when Family films are not letterboxed? Do they think that letterboxing is for "adults only"? Do they think that if children see black bars on a TV screen that they will go into catatonic fits and have to be sedated? No! It's a lot of older adults that react this way and not kids. Kids are much more hip to 21st century technology.
Very depressing.
