Author Topic: Movies still being released on film Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-10-2018 08:57 PM                        Good point - SR wasn't officially released until 1988. Just checked my notes from that print examination again, and there were definitely SR stickers on the leaders, and those leaders were definitely part of the same print. Maybe the mag tracks were re-sounded after the initial release, though I can't imagine why anyone would go to the expense of doing that for a movie that was such a box office disaster and disappeared so completely without trace afterwards.  |  IP: Logged Erik Bakhshi Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Oct 2018 posted 11-11-2018 11:45 PM                     It looks like that print of ROMA is actually happening. Spoke to one of the guys from Dolby today who mentioned working on the 35 and 70 prints, and yes it is going to be on color stock.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 12-19-2018 01:07 PM                     quote: Leo Just checked my notes from [the "Howard the Duck"] print examination again, and there were definitely SR stickers on the leaders, and those leaders were definitely part of the same print. FWIW, the Hollywood Theater in Portland, Oregon, a few days ago screened a 70mm print of "Howard the Duck" and the crew there have indicated their print was Dolby A. I can't say if it was the same print the Cinematheque ran, but at this point I can't imagine there being too many screenable, bookable copies available.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-14-2019 11:37 AM                     Leo... Do you recall if the title (the on-screen billing or on leader or enclosures) was "Howard the Duck" or "Howard: A New Breed of Hero"? Was the print struck and sounded in Europe? These details might offer a clue to help resolve the "A" vs "SR" matter.  |  IP: Logged
