Author Topic: MGM to go Cyan in May Ted Costas Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Hollywood, CA, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 03-19-2004 02:09 PM                     In case you are not following the 26 plus page Cyan Track thread, please check out page 26. John Pytlak posted the MGM Press Release, and it is big news. MGM will be going Cyan for the analog soundtracks starting with the release of "Soul Plane" in the end of May. Then every subsequent release my MGM will also have cyan dye analog tracks. This is a big step, following DreamWorks' cyan release, "Anything Else," as this is a "from here on out" announcement from MGM. Don't be surprised if another studio, or two, make similar announcements in the very near future. Start spreading the news... Hope to see you all at ShoWest next week.

Otherwise, it's been more of a solution, covering the cost of most of my textbooks. Sounds good to me Paul.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 03-20-2004 06:57 PM                    Maybe you need one of those shoe computers to help with the card counting.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.
