I just went to see Oceans 11 and was treated to a We Were Soldiers trailer before the movie. The image was strange. It looked vertically stretched. I am pretty sure it wasnt a scope trailer accidentally being played with flat lense/masking. Firstly the vertically stretch was not as servere as watching scope through a flat lense. Also the text at the end was perfectly fine not stretched x2. Also some shots looked normal. I am assuming this is a new way of producing 1.85:1 flat trailers from scope movies. Normally either the image is horizontally cropped ie pann ans scann. Or it is shrunk down giving black bars at the top of the image. ie the 2.35:1 letterbox trailers. Is this a third way?

But i'm talking about the 1.85:1 Ads and trailer package played before the movie.This is the UK. Ads and trailers are always flat. If it is a scope movie, the ads /trailers are in 1.85, Then there is silence for a few seconds while, the masking opens (quiet impressive) and the lense turret rotates/aperture plate changes. Unless its manual. Such as my place and the museum. Curtains close for a minute, then open after the projector is converted to scope.
