Author Topic: Movies still being released on film Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-31-2015 02:06 PM                    Fredrik - I thought I saw those two movies listed in the showtimes for some 35mm-only theaters, but it was too long ago and I'm not sure which ones. Sorry I can't be more specific. You can also add "The Boy Next Door" to your list; that had some prints out and Technicolor had it listed on their now-defunct check frames page.  |  IP: Logged Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-02-2015 04:41 PM                    I forgot to mention that both "McFarland USA" and "Run All Night" have "prints by Fotokem" in the end credits. That's the only lab still making 35mm prints in the US as far as I know, and I don't think it's referring to the DCPs. Also, the manager of the Fine Arts Theatre Palace in Maynard, MA, which just went digital, confirmed that they showed "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." in 35mm.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-03-2015 02:44 PM                     Does anyone have any idea or consensus as to what the last title to receive an SDDS track was?  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 09-03-2015 04:01 PM                    Ok so far these are CONFIRMED to be additions to the already mentioned films in 35mm: Run All Night McFarland USA Straight Outta Compton Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation Ant-Man Entourage Irrational Man The Boy Next Door The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Not too shabby for the year where 35mm prints were to "cease existence".  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 09-08-2015 05:10 PM                    quote: Sean Weitzel Does anyone have any idea or consensus as to what the last title to receive an SDDS track was? Sorry for the late response, the last SDDS that was known of was Surf's Up in June 2007. Spider-Man 3 also had a SDDS track the month before that came out.  |  IP: Logged Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-08-2015 07:07 PM                    No, "Surf's Up" was only the last 8-channel SDDS release. There were plenty of 6-channel releases after. Here is Internet Archive's most recent capture (June 9, 2013) of the release list on the now-dead SDDS site. Going by it, "47 Ronin" was the last one, but I've seen the SDDS logo in later releases' ads and end credits, so who knows.  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 09-08-2015 07:47 PM                    Oh ok thanks for pointing that out, I thought 6-channel was gone before they got rid of 8-channel but glad to see it still went on for a little whiles longer!  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-14-2015 02:33 PM                        We're showing a newly released indie horror/thriller film on 35mm at a festival next month. When I saw 35mm and 2015 on the schedule I thought this was a typo and asked our programmer for confirmation. He confirmed - it's a new movie, shot and released on 35.  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 09-15-2015 06:01 AM                     That looks fantastic!!! Hope it does well!  |  IP: Logged Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 10-23-2015 07:51 PM                    "Unfinished Business" also has a "prints by Fotokem" credit. Not sure, but I think "Project Almanac" got some prints too.  |  IP: Logged Jason Metcalfe Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Austin, TX, U.S. Registered: May 2010 posted 10-23-2015 11:09 PM                     At our festival this year we had TWO new releases that were shot and printed on 35mm: - Son of Saul - Too Late I know Son of Saul is getting a theatrical run in December, hopefully some of those screenings will be from the print which is very pretty  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 10-24-2015 02:10 PM                        And apparently the next installment of the "Planet of the Apes" franchise will be shot and released in Ultra Panavision 70. Those lenses may end up having some extra usefulness after all...  |  IP: Logged Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 11-07-2015 12:36 PM                    "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" is another one with a "prints by Fotokem" credit. I read on another forum yesterday that "Spectre" is supposedly showing in 35mm in some theaters in California. Anyone know for sure?  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 11-08-2015 03:08 PM                     Add to the list: Pan Crimson Peak Don't know about Spectre, sorry, and if someone in southern Cal has a 35mm, I'd love to know about it.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-08-2015 03:30 PM                        I'm showing Son of Saul tomorrow, and the print looks beautiful - very, very, sharp, detailed and contrasty. Our print (#8a) is on 2383 stock with a year mark of 2013, so I'm guessing that the Hungarian lab which printed it must have been using print stock that they had in storage for a couple of years. Interesting and relieving to note that FotoKem are not the only remaining lab in the world that can do 35mm release printing, and that someone can still do laser subtitling of 35mm prints. Not only is it a rare example of a new movie shot and released on film, but also one intended for projection in 1.37. The positioning of the credits and subtitles within the frame indicates that it was shot to protect for 1.85, but the leaders, labels on the Goldberg boxes and everything online I can find about the film state that it is intended for projection in 1.37. The backup DCP we've received (this is a festival screening) also has a F-137 tag.  |  IP: Logged
