I agree, it is strange that there has been so little mention of this movie in 70mm. I have heard of a possible booking in the Chicago area, but nothing else. Was supposed to have been an Imax exclusive release, but Amazon's plans changed.  |  IP: Logged Allan Barnes Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: GRAND BEND, ONTARIO, CANADA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 10-25-2019 06:38 PM                        if this true....

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-18-2019 10:20 AM                     The movie was reportedly shot with IMAX film cameras. But put through a 4K digital intermediate. I suspect quite a lot of "digital backlot" work in this show. And that could mean a lot of 2K CGI up-rezzed to 4K. I'm pretty suspicious of movies shot on 65mm film these days.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 11-20-2019 07:46 PM                     Indeed Bobby I agree.  |  IP: Logged Tyler Purcell Expert Film Handler Posts: 180 From: Van Nuys, CA Registered: Dec 2015 posted 11-27-2019 09:30 PM                        It was shot digitally with the Red Monstro 8k imager with a 4k post. I'm very confused on why there would be any prints made and there is no mention of prints being made online anywhere else.  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 12-09-2019 07:52 PM                        In NYC, it's only being shown at a few independent cinemas. None of the chains have picked it up, presumably because Amazon won't give theaters a full exclusive window. I guess the independents are thinking, "Screw it, we'll take what we can get" but I think they signed a suicide pact.  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 12-10-2019 09:11 PM                     So far as I can tell, here in Los Angeles there is one single performance in 70mm at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica (Monday, Dec. 16, free with RSVP.) Would love to go but not the time of year I can attend evening shows. Hope they repeat it someday. By the way, is this just being booked as a boutique Academy-qualifying run? Almost nowhere is this playing full-time, like 2 screens in all of Los Angeles county.  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 12-11-2019 05:09 PM                     It played at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco once Dec 2nd at 7:30pm.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-15-2019 08:47 PM                     Aren't these 70mm struck from a 4K DI? Whats so exciting about that? Smaller scratches, less dust and the same resolution as a well made 35mm print struck from the the same 4K D.I. file.

There are no 35mm prints to my knowledge.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-17-2019 09:07 PM                     Yea, I noticed that too. Perhaps the directors choice on this.  |  IP: Logged
