Author Topic: GATTACA (1997) John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-29-2008 10:07 PM                     GATTACA (1997) 6 Reels 2.39:1 Scope SR/SDDS only Conventional silver-applicated track DFS Depot Columbia Pictures / Sony Kodak "386" ESTAR-base stock (EASTMAN EXR 2386 color print film) DFS has this print correctly as SDDS/EASTMAN on their label and hence their database, so presumably you could ask for the right sound format. We got this print because the Brattle had it earlier in the month and that was logistically sensical. Edit: to remove dual-inventory speculation. What's with all the chit-chat, people?

"Air Force One" was the rare exception for Sony in 1997 allowing quad track print releases.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 01-30-2008 05:06 PM                     Sony didn't do much SRD stuff at the beginning. As is documented on other threads, "The Mirror Has Two Faces" was SR/SDDS only and "Men in Black" was SR/DTS/SDDS only (with the exception of R1). I believe "Jerry Maguire" was also SR/DTS/SDDS.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-30-2008 09:01 PM                     [Sorry to drift into a bit of chat, but my response is related to a question posed in the initial post and subsequent posts.] quote: Monte L Fullmer Sony didn't accept the other digital formats until mid 1998 While Sony did mostly use SDDS exclusively from 1993-1998, they did on occasion, as Blaine noted, use the other formats. In pulling some of my old Widescreen Review work, I see the following regarding Columbia, TriStar, Triumph and Sony Pictures Classics releases: DOLBY DIGITAL Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Fast, Cheap & Out Of Control (1997) Ma Vie En Rose (1997) The Tango Lesson (1997) Wilde (1998) DOLBY DIGITAL & SDDS Othello (1995) Das Boot (1997 re-issue) My Giant (1998) Palmetto (1998) Zero Effect (1998) DTS & SDDS City Slickers II (1994) Little Big League (1994) The American President (1995) Jerry Maguire (1996) Screamers (1996) Men In Black (1997) Starship Troopers (1997) EARLY QUAD-FORMAT RELEASES Air Force One (1997) Godzilla (1998) The Mask Of Zorro (1998) Most of the titles list above that deviated from an SDDS-only release were exceptions due to Sony distributing a film made by another company (Castle Rock, for instance) or acquiring a film after its completion.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-31-2008 01:56 PM                     quote: jhawk Edit: to remove dual-inventory speculation.

You should be pleased three people made an effort to answer your question.  |  IP: Logged
