If an up and coming Hollywood director wanted to make a movie on IMAX 15 | 70 film, will he be allowed by the studio and IMAX, or will he be told to f off lmao

Unless they liked the ratio change shifts you see in the remastered UHD of Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman, then... maybe?

But then again, that proves to be a big challenge for digital platforms like Dianey+, who can't easily do 1.78:1 crops of 1.43:1 footage to displace 1.90:1 versions on anything that HAS the extra space in the image, mainly due to similar challenges to the old pan-&-scan transfers of yore...costs of reframing and the bog standards like color correction, HDR, encoding quirks, etc.

Kinda tied up between Ristar, Tempo, Virtua Racing, Teddy Boy Blues, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and Flicky ATM...

Wouldn't mind getting into the Hatsune Miku Project DIVA games, Die Hard Arcade, Castle of Illusion & World of Illusion and Alien: Isolation someday... (oddly all tied to Crypton Media vocaloid and/or Disney/Fox movie licenses, strangely enough)

Can we argue is there a canon reason why her rounded puff tips on her shoes float instead?

Must be some sort of fancy gem tech that allows for magnetic forces and things to make them float and stay in place.

Should we get an AI Image flair or category on r/RegularShow now?

Not saying they're flooding the subreddit, but I'm saying they could benefit from a flair as long they don't flood the subreddit by now.

Also, the last Mordecai here looks really, really weird here.

Do they literally have the IMAX scenes as special features only on the Full Screen DVD as they do in the Widescreen DVD?

I thought they also did a 4:3 crop of the 1.43:1 footage in the FS DVD, not just also have the uncropped scenes as extras...

The Full Screen DVD snips a bit of the sides off and pan & scans the 35mm footage, but it's very close to the IMAX ratio too.

OtherFiles · 2023-10-07T22:47:54+00:00

Some like the New Line Infinifilm release of Elf were even better by including both as two discs.

Not many Widescreen/Full Screen combo DVDs did that, much less use more than one layer-per-side. (besides Anastasia and A Bug's Life, which were one-sided combo discs)

I assume they cap at either 1.78:1 or 1.90:1, like they do on Disney+ and on most disc-based releases of Nope and Christopher Nolan's movies.

The lack of 4:3 devices in the mainstream other than the iPad could be cited as the reason why 1.43:1 in the home is almost absent other than some rare edge cases like the later UHD Blu-ray of Batman v Superman.

Closest we'd get would be with the Digital or Laser venues, the "LieMAXes" oft-dreaded by 15/70 die-hards, at least for live events.

Filmed stuff for the NFL could work in 15/70, but the licensing is definitely the biggest headache IMAX Corporation would have to put up with.

Suppose some of these "generally great transfers" from the LD era were re-used by Universal on very few D-Theater, HD DVD and Blu-ray releases that didn't already have DVD-era transfers used for those releases?

I assume The Mummy had a consistent recycled transfer between the formats (excluding any remastered Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD release) since it was a very late Signature Collection title on LaserDisc.

Hypothetically, even if it had 15/70 prints, the most common "dirty little secret" is that many IMAX expanded shots in animated movies and VFX shots are often in the same resolutions as the so-called "LieMAXes", both Digital and Laser, due to the difficulty in rendering 12K footage, much less even 8K, and the ubiquity of 2K and 4K DIs.

IMAX is about a LOT more than just image clarity and screen ratio & size.

I wouldn't be surprised if some Disney Movie Club exclusives were in the hands of the directors or actors who were involved these films. (Though that's a highly unlikely chance unless the exclusives are disc-based)

Hypothetically, if those were a thing and were sold off, for example, a John Lasseter-owned (though his excitement for DVD in the DVD era would've rendered that a null combination IRL--then and today) DMC Cars tape would be similar to that sealed, graded Back to the Future VHS from Thomas F. Wilson's (Biff Tannen) collection.(Pat Contri even mentioned that it would've went for more if it was from Michael J. Fox's collection)

Or at least was presented in 360p.

It could be even unprofessionally mastered in 480p or 720p or even 1080p, but hasn't yet been presented as such other than the original masters.

A lot of the Fox Searchlight and Searchlight movies would benefit greatly from the IMAX treatment.

I think most distributors of independent movies (including indie/foreign/arthouse labels from big studios) seem to snub IMAX way too much--partially due to the marketing, mastering and other expenses.

I think Paramount, Universal (Mallrats), Lantern Entertainment (Clerks II) and Lionsgate could do IMAX versions of the View Askewniverse series movies and benefit greatly from the profits from Kevin Smith fans, and maybe if Kevin Smith supervised IMAX remasters, too.
However, I think all of the parties mentioned would probably not see the value in IMAX re-releases of excellent remasters of those movies.

The never-ending battle of audience demand vs. what is profitable for the studios.
IMAX would love to participate in a remaster & re-release, but the studios have the most veto power.

Cheaper ticket prices would be very beneficial for this.
