This system seems to have disappeared off the internet. I know it was a long shot as an improved film technology to beat DC hands down. So has it gone before it was considered? Like 65-70 and other spectacular film systems. There is also no news on Super Dimension 70 of course.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can say it is gone becuase it was never really here. It was probably 5 years late to have a shot. If it was introduced before Digital Cinema was close to reality, maybe it had a shot. A film system that used MORE film was not going to be an easy argument against DC no matter how much Roger Ebert liked it.

BTW, I know somebody that saw the demo film and said that it was, indeed, a spectacular picture.
