Author Topic: Thank You for Smoking (2005) Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-28-2005 10:35 AM                     Fox Searchlight Scope 2.40 SRD / SR 6 Reels Deluxe Studio Print Loose in can: "Confetti" Note: ALERT: CAUTION ON CHANGEOVER FROM REELS 2 TO 3 -- DON'T CUT TOO SOON! (This is the note inside of the film cans) Dear Theatre Managers and Projectionists: There is a short, very important scene at the end of Reel 2 of "Thank You For Smoking" that can be easily missed when building the print or changing over reels: Following a scene at a restaurant, there is a sharp cut to black. After about 3 feet, another short scene begins. The changeover cues are in this last scene. AT CHANGEOVER HOUSES: Pay close attention to the changeover cues so not to miss the last scene. AT PLATTER HOUSES: Please check to make sure that only the tail is cut off--no actual filmed footage is cut. If you have any questions, please call the 20th Century Fox Print Department at (310) 369-2044 The said scene after the sharp cut to black is a fade in and only last 30 feet. Neg. splices visable on most reels ala "The Passion" from last year. Reel 3 is a half reel.
