Author Topic: The Master (2012) 70mm prints? Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 08-09-2012 07:12 AM                        Anyone see this sneak screening? I believe it was on 70mm-5 perf. Can anyone confirm that 70mm DTS prints have been made? http://screenrant.com/the-master-movie-reviews-previews/ Paul Thomas Anderson’s followup to There Will Be Blood, The Master, was recently bumped up to a September start date for its awards-contending theatrical run. However, Santa Monica residents who attended last Friday’s screening of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining were treated to an even earlier look at Anderson’s latest (which was the surprise second half of a double-feature). The Master takes inspiration from the life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, but appears to use those biographical elements as a stepping stone for a powerful tale that’s rich in symbolism and looks/sounds like a companion piece to There Will Be Blood. Trailers for The Master tease arresting performances from Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman (also Amy Adams, to a lesser degree) – but do early reactions and reviews back that assessment?  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 08-09-2012 11:31 AM                     what an odd subject matter/plot to film in 70mm - anyhoo...from what I've heard P.T Anderson is pushing the Weinstein Co. to print up a few 70mm prints for theatrical distribution.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-09-2012 02:55 PM                     PTA's official info site http://cigsandredvines.blogspot.com/ pretty much confirms there is at least ONE 70mm print that will be making the festival rounds. The site has a whole section on the 70mm aspect of this release pleading with people to submit names of cinemas that still are known to be able to show 5/70mm: http://cigsandredvines.blogspot.com/2012/08/help-pta-show-master-in-70mm-in-your.html  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 08-09-2012 03:45 PM                     Wow!!  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 08-14-2012 06:24 PM                        I can confirm that at least one 70mm print with a Datasat Digital Sound track has been made (that's what screened at the Aero the other night). It's a gorgeous print, too.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 08-14-2012 11:51 PM                     so, does the audio feature a five-across channel mix  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 08-15-2012 01:23 AM                        I wish! But no, it's a standard 5.1 mix.  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 08-15-2012 08:49 AM                     Is it known whether the print has been struck from a photochemical master (ie OCN>IP>print or something like that), or from a DI film-out?  |  IP: Logged Bob Bregazzi Film Handler Posts: 17 From: Hampshie, England Registered: Jan 2010 posted 08-15-2012 10:45 AM                     "The Master" was recently shown at BAFTA, London, in 70mm (1.85:1) and DTS sound.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 08-15-2012 12:46 PM                        Also playing the Alamo Drafthouse this September during their 70mm festival. http://www.in70mm.com/news/2012/alamoscope/index.htm  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 08-15-2012 01:42 PM                        It's a photochemical print, although to be honest I'm not sure if there's an IN/IP in between the camera neg and release print, or if they did an answer print straight off the cut negative. Definitely not from a DI for the 70mm print. Not sure about the 35mm. The DCPs will be 4k.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 08-17-2012 02:05 PM                        The Master will be playing in 70mm at the Toronto International Film Festival, at the Light Box Theatre this September.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-17-2012 04:57 PM                     I read that not all 100% of the movie was shot 5/65mm so there would have had to be a blowup IN for the 35mm stuff.  |  IP: Logged Shawn M.

Weekday matinees will be 35mm. http://www.afi.com/silver/films/2012/v9i4/themaster.aspx  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-23-2012 08:28 PM                     Why in the world would their weekday matinees be 35mm??? Are the professional 70mm operators not available during weekday matinees and they are doing the RIGHT thing by NOT letting the 35mm people handle the 70mm print?  |  IP: Logged
