At the end of these there is a teaser for no doubt whatever they want to make next) STUDIO CO - 02:15:49 (The beginning of the rolling credits. This is a better place to go 'lights up') FRT - 02:22:12 ------------ 35MM FLAT 1.85:1 SR/SRD/DTS/SDDS 8 REELS  |  IP: Logged Mike Frese Master Film Handler Posts: 465 From: Holts Summit, MO Registered: Jun 2007 posted 05-04-2012 09:52 AM                        Also a cookie/teaser at the very end if you have not heard by now. So two cookies.  |  IP: Logged Michael Putlack Expert Film Handler Posts: 187 From: Fort Collins, Colorado Registered: Sep 2011 posted 05-05-2012 02:47 PM                        According to IMDB the film is in 1.78:1, or 16:9. What's the deal with that? Anyone know who made the call to already have it ready for HDtvs? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/technical  |  IP: Logged Antti Nayha Master Film Handler Posts: 268 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: Oct 2008 posted 05-06-2012 05:47 AM                     The deal is that IMDb is unreliable. Trust Film-Tech, not IMDb.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-06-2012 10:12 PM                        The "cookie" at the end is actually a punch line, not a teaser. But it's cool.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 05-12-2012 04:38 PM                        1.78 and 1.85:1 are close enough that the difference is negligible. Digitally shot movies (like this one) sometimes are native 1.78 and just cropped slightly to 1.85 for theatrical projection, while 1.85 movies have been opened up to 1.78 on DVDs since the format was introduced. Check this out: 1.33x1.33=1.77, 1.77x1.33=2.35 (Further discussion of this should probably be moved to Yack, there may even be a thread somewhere that could be zombied.)  |  IP: Logged
