Author Topic: We Were Soldiers James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-13-2002 10:31 PM                     Paramount 7 reels Scope Format A/SR/SRD/DTS/SDDS ETS Depot Screening print No attached or loose trailers Got a new print for this weeks screening, probably a release print. It had CHANGING LANES attached and also had the new Paramount 90th Anniversary logo on it. PAY ATTENTION!!! Over the last images of the film there is some on-screen text narration (is there an official term for this?) The beginning area that LOOKS like credits (white letters on a blck screen) is actually a list of soldiers' names and where they are from (from what I could tell by looking at the print). The lights up cue should be placed after this and at the first real credit which is for co-producers.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-13-2002 11:12 PM                     Feeling lysdexic today?

The reel heads/tails/cases had no indication that it is in EX. And the end credits just say "Dolby Digital" as usual. Or have you guys in the US got a different print and/or mix to us?  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-10-2002 04:27 AM                     Dolby's website lists " We Were Soldiers " as an EX encoded film.  |  IP: Logged
