These discs will not work. You must have discs marked SN 7715 for proper DTS playback. I don't know about DTS playback for UK prints.  |  IP: Logged Joe Elliott Master Film Handler Posts: 497 From: Port Orange, Fl USA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 10-06-2008 08:33 AM                     Also the print preview is Valkyrie. Ours was messed up and the last 6 seconds of it has no picture. You just hear the words "Valkyrie" hissed at you as you stare at a black screen. We had another copy of the preview come in with another movie that shows it should say Valkyrie on screen, and then show Coming Soon. Problem is, the print preview is flat, the other preview is scope.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 10-06-2008 11:53 AM                     Our print also has the same "black screen" at the end of the trailer.  |  IP: Logged Tyler Potts Expert Film Handler Posts: 159 From: Anderson, SC, USA Registered: Sep 2008 posted 10-07-2008 10:21 AM                       I have Valkyrie on another trailer and when "How to Lose Friends..." this morning, all title cards for that trailer are not there. When it ticks and adds a growing black bar to the middle of the screen it should say 'from the director of:' then rattles off some of Singers flicks. Also when Cruise walks in front of the black bar it should have his name in bold white print. Anyone figure why this attached trailer is incomplete?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Wondering what the original discs distributed with the US prints actually are...  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 10-31-2008 12:47 AM                     There is nothing wrong with the trailers that have the fade out and the title being said, that is how this trailer is supposed to be. As far as the other one with the black bars and the text on them, this is how they are supposed to be as well. No one got shipped an incomplete trailer for Valkyrie.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-31-2008 03:30 AM                    You sure about that. The stand alone trailers that I believe are the same as the one attached to this print, have the printed title and credit sequence printed on them.  |  IP: Logged Kurt Zupin Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 989 From: Maricopa, Arizona Registered: Oct 2004 posted 11-02-2008 03:28 PM                     Yeah I'm positive, were running them both. The one with the fade to black is correct. It has no credits or release date, then there is the other one with credits and coming soon.  |  IP: Logged
