Author Topic: Movies still being released on film Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-17-2015 10:24 PM                        Presumably the New Bev will play one too, at some point.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-18-2015 09:58 AM                        Think QT will have his own private 70mm copy of H8?  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-18-2015 02:15 PM                        More than one, probably. When the roadshow run is over, I imagine that a small number of the prints that survived essentially undamaged will go to the usual suspect archives if they want them (e.g. Academy, UCLA, etc.), but the rest will be shredded and the PET recycled, just as happened with most release prints. If Tarantino wants any for his personal archive, I can't see Weinstein having a problem with this. It's not as if there would be a piracy risk (and besides, anyone attempting to steal a print from his personal collection would probably end up being attended to "with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch"): I'm not even sure if any scanners capable of running 5/70 release prints exist. They certainly do for 5/65 pre-print elements, but even those are such rare and expensive items that your average pirate gang will simply not have access to one. So if he does want a print or two for his personal archive, Weinstein will probably be only to happy, as it will reduce his recycling bill.  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 12-18-2015 08:15 PM                     Too Late is getting a 35mm only release. http://deadline.com/2015/12/john-hawkes-starring-thriller-too-late-gets-exclusive-35mm-release-1201668561/ Following in the spiritual footsteps of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, the crime thriller Too Late, starring John Hawkes as a troubled private investigator hired to find a missing woman with whom he has a messy relationship, is getting a special 35mm-only theatrical release this spring nationwide. No DCP bookings will be scheduled. Framed as a story in five acts, Too Late was shot in the 35mm Techniscope format with each chapter comprised of a single 20+ minute uncut shot, approximately the length of a projected film reel. It will open in Los Angeles on March 18 and March 25 in New York City, followed by expansion to other U.S. markets. The filmmakers partnered with Michael Tuckman’s mTuckman Media for the 35mm-only release, with the Alamo Drafthouse theater chain already onboard to exhibit the film. Alamo Drafthouse in Austin is also the home of the annual Fantastic Fest, where Too Late screened earlier this year. Written and directed by Dennis Hauck in his feature film debut, Too Late also stars Robert Forster, Crystal Reed, Joanna Cassidy, Jeff Fahey, Dichen Lachman, Natalie Zea, Rider Strong, Dash Mihok, and Sydney Tamiia Poitier. Hauck produced along with Taylor Feltner and Alexandra Barreto under Hauck’s Foe Killer Films banner with Vanishing Angle’s Matt Mille and Erich Lochner co-producing.  |  IP: Logged Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 12-19-2015 02:45 PM                    It is possible that "Macbeth" got prints, as it has a "film laboratory" credit for Cinelab in London, despite being shot all-digital, as far as I know. It could have been some other film work, of course. I never got a response to the email I sent the lab last month.  |  IP: Logged Steve Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 109 From: Paoli, IN, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 12-19-2015 03:25 PM                        It would be nice to know how many 35mm Star Wars prints there are. I would imagine if we could get one in late March, we might run it on opening night. I would imagine this movie will not hit a Red Box unit for a very long time to come.  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 12-21-2015 07:48 PM                     Rick Cohen mentioned one 35mm of "Force Awakens" in LA, and that is at the Vista Theatre, where they're playing it in film by "request" of the director. Nice.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-21-2015 11:41 PM                        The Vista looks seriously nice from their website. I've driven past it many times when the 101 has been gnarled up and I've gone from the 10 up Chavez and Sunset to bypass it, but I had no idea that it was almost as old as the Egyptian and in such great shape inside. If they've still got Star Bores in 35mm in early January I might try to catch a matinee.  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 12-22-2015 01:44 PM                     Being out of the way for me, I've only been there for one show, and that was years ago. It was definitely film done right, though, and I doubt that's changed. A little smallish but you can always sit closer.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-22-2015 02:08 PM                     QT no doubt has it in his contract (like other stars/directors) that he gets 35mm (now 70mm) prints of his movies. I've seen his film lists and he has prints of all of his movies, including an extended print of Death Proof, the Cannes version of Kill Bill, etc.  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 12-23-2015 10:59 AM                     "In the Heart of the Sea" opens at Sherman Oaks 5 on Christmas Day, the third week of release for that film. I wonder where that print has been? SO5 is starving for new material, and for the Christmas break they're putting Inside Out back in and matinees of Pan.  |  IP: Logged Steve Wilson Expert Film Handler Posts: 109 From: Paoli, IN, USA Registered: May 2004 posted 12-25-2015 07:17 PM                        One of my fellow drive in theaters has told me he was converting because he had been told that Disney was not producing any 35mm prints on their movies. Can anyone confirm this to be true!? Thanks  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 12-25-2015 08:55 PM                    That's really strange Steve, because basically every Disney movie this year has gotten a 35mm print (McFarland-Star Wars). Unless Disney comes out saying 2015 was the last year, I highly doubt it.  |  IP: Logged Shawn M. Martin Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Arlington, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2012 posted 12-25-2015 09:11 PM                    Pixar's projection page doesn't list any 35mm specs for "The Good Dinosaur", only digital 2D and 3D. This is a first for them. Maybe there were no prints period, or not enough to bother writing any up (the latter I find hard to believe). I haven't heard of any places that showed it in 35mm.  |  IP: Logged Matt Russell Expert Film Handler Posts: 142 From: Aurora, USA Registered: Aug 2015 posted 12-26-2015 01:34 AM                    Well, this website does infer that there indeed are 35mm prints of Good Dinosaur since detailed instructions are given, so there must be some prints out there.  |  IP: Logged
