Well yeah its got scary images in it. That guy is scarier than Freddy. Jonathan's here all week ladies and gents.

Lots of interlocks is my guess. Maybe it's not an option for some of the smaller sites who are running UP in digital, but it is being offered in both formats in the UK to those who can. Certainly we are not commited to either format yet.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-28-2009 09:07 PM                        So John, you're saying it's playing only in 2D? But, wasn't it supposed to have like 3 sequences in 3D? Or was that just in New Zealand or London. Weren't some theatre sites saying they were playing it in 3D? (Just kidding John....I couldn't resist)!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

So that's that!!  |  IP: Logged Oliver Harper Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Cambridge, United kingdom Registered: Mar 2007 posted 09-29-2009 05:17 AM                     Yeah we are getting a 35mm copy and only playing on a medium size screen..odd choice by the film buyers because we have already sold quite a few tickets. Shame we are not getting it in digital. then we can run on our 3 digi projectors.  |  IP: Logged Matt Skilton Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Bromley, Kent, UK Registered: May 2009 posted 09-29-2009 06:33 AM                        Indeed UP will dominate most digital screens at that time in the UK but we already have screenings of An American Werewolf in London and My Bloody Valentine 3D planned that week because it's Halloween week. So 35mm prints will be better in the long-run, and will no doubt be interlocked plenty of times. Guess we'd better start teaching our floor support trainee how to do interlocks  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-29-2009 07:34 AM                     American Werewolf in digital or 35mm?  |  IP: Logged Matt Skilton Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Bromley, Kent, UK Registered: May 2009 posted 09-29-2009 08:49 AM                        Digital. Hopefully they've done a good job with it too. We had Gladiator a couple of weeks ago and it looked great, and Grease last year which also looked really good.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 09-29-2009 10:59 AM                     quote: Jonathan's here all week ladies and gents.

I have already volunteered for the 4am show, got to be better than being on the stand in the evening. The ticket sales so far are scary, read online somewhere it's already beaten HP6 and ROTK for advance bookings in the UK.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 09-29-2009 07:53 PM                     Haven't sold a single ticket thus far.  |  IP: Logged Matt Skilton Film Handler Posts: 43 From: Bromley, Kent, UK Registered: May 2009 posted 09-30-2009 05:08 PM                        Caleb, which "area" of London do you work in? One of our projectionists has put himself up for the 4am show, and we've got another one planned for 6am that same day. I'm not sure if we've got the license yet though.  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 09-30-2009 08:04 PM                     I work somewhere that sounds like it should be in the countryside but is far from it  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 10-03-2009 09:05 AM                       quote: Michael Jackson's This Is It I'd much prefer Kenny Loggins' "This Is It"  |  IP: Logged
