See it, hopefully in 35mm. The 70mm version, which I saw in 1978, was stunning. I heard there are no surviving 70mm prints.

I hope they know that the Spartacus print is a 5 screen channel mix. They made two mixes for the 1991 re-release.

quote: Tom Petrov
Its sad that the TIFF Lightbox which has 70mm capability won't be playing "Tree of Life" in 70MM. They will play the movie, no word on digital or 35mm.

Some good news. West Side Story, Lawrence of Arabia, and Spartucus will be avaiable during the summer in 70MM

Tiff

Oh there is one print of Days of Heaven that survives on 70mm, but its pink. The Krrrr festival in Europe played it.

I though Moonraker and A View to a Kill had 70mm prints. Not in the US?

Beside seeing STAR WARS in 70mm at Honolulu's Cinerama Theatre, I also saw it in San Francisco at the Coronet Theatre in that format because my local theatre was showing it in 35mm at the time. The theatre was packed and the house was filthy because it looked like it was not cleaned at all during the entire day. The carpet on the floor was squishy from split soda and residue from snacks such as popcorn and candy was clearly visible. It was different at the Cinerama, The theatre always looked great at all time and I still miss that theatre very much. It was a very classy house and it always looked that way

I somehow remember Moonraker playing in 70mm at the Rivoli in NYC though I don't think it was advertized.

Tom,

The only Spartacus print in North America is a Mag print from the 1991 restoration, its in almost mint condition though!

West Side is probably a new DTS print from the States.

Does anyone have, or has anyone seen a 2010: The Year We Make Contact, in 70mm 6 track stereo?
I'm looking for one of these posters in 27X41.
Please contact me.

Paul, do you mean are there 70mm prints of 2010 or are you looking for a poster with the 70mm bit on it?

John,

Yes, I'm looking for a poster with the 70mm bit on it?
I have the 70mm print...and I have a standard 2010 poster with no 70mm logo.
There must be some out there.
Thanks

Yes, 2010 was released in 70mm and I saw it in that format at the Cinerama Theatre in Honolulu.
