But you do get the second reel of Finding Forrester. Ok, so thats just limited to my theatre.....I hope. No, I didn't put it on by mistake. Yes, I did call Technicolor and get the proper reel sent.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-12-2001 05:15 PM                    Thats not the first time something like that has happend. The print of Patch Adams instead of reel two it had reel two of star trek insurrection. THe kicker is technicolor distributions does not handle paramount.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Skeen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1517 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Aug 2000 posted 01-12-2001 05:42 PM                     A few Christmases ago, the movie "IQ" opened on Christmas day. It was in scope format and featured Tim Robbins. In release around the same time was "Ready to Wear", in scope and also with Tim Robbins in the cast. The theater I worked at got the "IQ" print in a few days before Christmas and it was built up (not by me!), and I had the priviledge of running the first showing and was informed that somehow it had 'switched to a different movie'! Ever since then I've always checked the title on every reel. The tip-off in this case though should have been that "Ready To Wear" had a Dolby Digital track but "IQ" didn't, but they were doing dual-inventory prints then so it was thought possible that we'd just gotten one reel with the digital track on it.  |  IP: Logged James R.

Also I heard of alot of theatres getting double copies of a certain reel of the 98 PSYCHO with another reel missing. The film appreciation instructor at my school was doing Hitchcock that semester and was able to set up a Thursday night screening for his class. The theatre got a print that was missing the reel with the shower scene, so the class got too see it without the biggest scene of the whole movie.  |  IP: Logged
