Finished print and NO INTERMISSION!!!  |  IP: Logged Jonathan M. Crist Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 531 From: Hershey, PA, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-03-2003 08:06 PM                     According to an email that I received from Warners today, there will be an intermission at half-way through Reel 8 with music that will add 12 minutes to the run time.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-03-2003 08:28 PM                     Hmmmmm, the tail of reel 8 and beginning of reel 9 appear to be the same scene. Will have to report back once this has screened to see if it is indeed in the MIDDLE of the reel, as opposed to the end.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-04-2003 03:39 AM                     Run time is accurate. There appears to be no place for an intermission, except a quick glimpse of a sunrise in reel 8. This was a finished print with credits, digital tracks and rating band. 3 hours 40 minutes non-stop.  |  IP: Logged Alex Grasic Film Handler Posts: 90 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: Jul 2002 posted 02-18-2003 11:58 PM                     We received our bookings on Monday and it was confirmed (at least for Canada), that there is to be an intermission after reel 8. An additional "Let's go to the lobby" corporate show is to be put on at the end of reel 8 and the show stopped at that point for 12 minutes.  |  IP: Logged Aldo Baez Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 02-19-2003 01:25 PM                    There is an intermission built in, are you going to cut off the black when since you are actually stopping the projector?  |  IP: Logged Alex Grasic Film Handler Posts: 90 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: Jul 2002 posted 02-19-2003 09:29 PM                     We got a memo from Warner Brothers stating that there is a built in 12 minute intermission midway during the eighth reel. They do not want non-sync sound coming back as for the last 3:30 of the 12 minutes, there will be music played back to 'warn' athe movie goers that the movie will be starting again.  |  IP: Logged Justin McLeod Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-19-2003 10:28 PM                     Is it required for theaters to have an intermission for this movie, or can you run the whole movie without an intermission?  |  IP: Logged Aldo Baez Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 02-20-2003 02:10 AM                    Justin, there is 12 minutes of black on the reel so I'm guessing unless you cut that part out you have to run the intermission.  |  IP: Logged Justin McLeod Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-20-2003 05:48 PM                     Ok then, so I guess the question is now, will the studio allow us to cut out the 12 mineuts of black that is included with the feature?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-20-2003 10:13 PM                     No. You HAVE to leave that black intact in reel 8 and you HAVE to have an intermission. It's part of your booking contract, just like how you HAVE to show the attached trailer.  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-20-2003 10:19 PM                     I don't remember if this was on all reels, but reel 8 had a little yellow dot on the frame line. This acts as the only frame line reference during the intermission.  |  IP: Logged Justin McLeod Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-20-2003 11:00 PM                     Okay, that pretty much clears up all the confusion on my part. Thanks for the info everybody.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-21-2003 12:45 AM                     Prints I've handled had no frameline markings of any sort. Conveniently though, the entire intermission was pure black.  |  IP: Logged Justin McLeod Film Handler Posts: 93 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 02-21-2003 01:08 AM                     It's going to be pretty intresting to experience a intermission for a movie ( in my opninion ) because I have never had do work with one. Is Gods and Generals as good as I have been hearing?  |  IP: Logged
