Author Topic: 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' (4K restoration) Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 09-27-2015 09:52 AM                     just shown last night and prior (Friday) at the Landmark Sunshine theater in NYC, I of course am in the wrong city to have seen it, but apparently with the new corrected bluray reissue of the movie at the beginning of next month, Sony has created a new DCP of it: question has any seen or read the specs of the DCP; audio wise that is (7.1, Dolby Atmos)?  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham".

The Blu-ray (which I had no idea was coming and immediately pre-ordered thanks to your post) has a Dolby Atmos mix with a 7.1 backup, so I assume the DCP would at least have 7.1.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 09-27-2015 11:22 AM                     yeah - that last bluray was disappointing to say the least in terms of PQ. At least this new edition has the great commentary track that was on Criterion's laserdisc edition.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 09-30-2015 08:22 AM                     got an answer from Sony Pictures Repertory via Facebook and they stated the DCP is the original 5.1 mix. Interestingly non-Region A bluray releases the sound is DTS-HD MA 5.1 not Dolby 7.1  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 10-03-2015 09:12 PM                        And the Sunshine is not equipped for Atmos anyway. I've been disappointed with the last two Atmos releases that I've seen: The Martian and the Mission Impossible movie. I simply did not perceive very much discrete surround and overhead activity.  |  IP: Logged
