Why single out one or two titles as if they were unique cases??? Dozens of titles were blown up to 70mm with matting on the frame edges to preserve a narrower aspect ratio. The 70mm film list I worked on for Widescreen Review identifies most of these types of 70mm prints.  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 01-29-2003 03:02 PM                     Isn't this section reserved for print specs of the ONE title of this thread?  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-09-2007 05:19 PM                 It has been 1441 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 01-09-2007 05:19 PM                     Both "Dick Tracy" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" were printed 1.85 on 70mm with matte bars down the sides of the image. We were tempted to close the masking to 1.85, but the studio (Disney in both cases) asked us not to so as to prevent any dampening of the audio from the L/R channels. Of course, they're assuming the speakers are at the absolute edge of the screen.  |  IP: Logged Jeffry L.
