Here are the links: "The Thin Red Line" only IB Tech print 9 Nov 2000 http://www.egyptiantheatre.com/archive1999/2000/thinredline.htm Czech silent "Erotikon" with Live Orchestra 10, 11 Nov 2000 http://www.egyptiantheatre.com/archive1999/2000/erotikonmachaty.htm The 2nd 70mm film festival 24 Nov - 10 Dec 2000 http://www.egyptiantheatre.com/archive1999/2000/70mm2000.htm Cheers, Paul  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-01-2000 05:47 PM                     How sad to read that Lawrence is being withdrawn by Columbia. Does any one know about this? Will there still be 70mm prints available form another source?

I assume that means world wide. Perhaps(hopefully) someone else will assume distribution of it.

Rerelease 2002?  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 12-01-2000 02:50 PM                        Caught the first screening of Ben Hur last night. The print is from Australia and its a 2.21 extraction from the original 2.76 AR. Nice print! For those in the SoCal area, the print will run again tonight (Fri 12/1).  |  IP: Logged Martin Frandsen Master Film Handler Posts: 270 From: Denmark, Europe Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-03-2000 03:57 AM                     Did anyone see the screening of Ben-Hur last night? - anyone care to give a review of the print they showed? thanks!  |  IP: Logged Brett Rankin Film Handler Posts: 78 From: Sierra Madre, CA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-03-2000 02:58 PM                     I caught the second screening of Ben-Hur. Overall a nice print, but there were some HORRIBLE timing problems, mostly post-intermission. Some shots were very green, others lacked contrast, and there was even some anamorphic replacement footage during the chariot race. Overall excellent, but now and then... Perhaps Scott Norwood would care to comment on this?  |  IP: Logged
