Author Topic: Roma Eric Richard Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Spring, Texas USA Registered: Dec 2014 posted 11-09-2018 11:27 PM                     Now that Alamo has passed on showing this on their screens is there a chance someone else picks it up? I think Netflix still wants a 70mm release. I dont see any of the big chains picking it up, but that would be ironic if somehow it happened.  |  IP: Logged David J Hilsgen Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: SAUK RAPIDS,MN .

They run only changeover on a pair of Kinoton FP75E projectors and the projectionist staff are highly skilled.  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 12-07-2018 09:45 PM                     This movie is in black & white. Does anyone remember any black & white 70mm releases? I have to think real black & white 70mm film stock has to be very rare. My guess is that they will print on color stock. Very hard to get black & white to look right on color stock and even harder to get it consistent reel to reel or I should say film roll to roll.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-07-2018 10:23 PM                     quote: Stephan Shelley Does anyone remember any black & white 70mm releases?

Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 12-09-2018 01:53 PM                       It looked a bit sepia to me at Telluride so guessing it was color stock.  |  IP: Logged Jan Eberholst Olsen Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Oslo, Oslo, Norway Registered: Aug 2017 posted 12-11-2018 09:24 AM                        Russian movie "Optimistic Tragedy" from 1963 was shot in Sovscope 70 in black and white. How many prints are they making of ROMA in 70mm?  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 12-12-2018 06:33 PM                     I have heard it was 7 but that may just be for north America.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-12-2018 07:27 PM                        so who knows where any of these 7 are ending up? (stephan--the grand lake site shows the dlp logo and no 70mm logo still... so i'm guessing it ain't happening there.)  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 12-12-2018 07:48 PM                     Look like DCP for the Grand Lake. I have heard the Hammer Museum in LA will have a 70mm showing and someplace in Toronto. David you getting a 70mm print at the Willows?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-12-2018 10:02 PM                        Netflix is being pretty smart about this. They've apparently made a really good movie, but one with a very limited probable audience. So it'll win a lot of awards, but do small boxoffice numbers, and even if it's not all that popular on the streaming service, they'll be able to claim that the two-week streaming window didn't hurt anything. Talk about a Trojan horse.  |  IP: Logged
