Author Topic: Angela's Ashes: originally scope? Andrew D'Vrey Film Handler Posts: 92 From: St. Paul, MN USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-23-2000 02:51 AM                     I could've sworn when we had a preview of Angela's it was a scope print. Now that it has been released wide it is flat. Anyone else do a sneak of Angela's Ashes that can tell me I'm not crazy? ------------------ "And the monkey flips the switch." - Major Don West, "Lost In Space" Andrew D'Vrey IATSE Local 219  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 01-23-2000 03:26 AM                        In order to accomodate both scope and flat features, studios will release trailers in both formats. The studio can and sometimes will frame a flat movie into a scope trailer so that it does in fact fill up the whole screen, this way it looks much more pleasing to the consumer, even if it is misleading and just too damn bad, because ALL films should be full cinemascope if you ask me, and you haven't. ------------------ "If it's not worth doing, I have allready been there and done it"  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Not the trailer...  |  IP: Logged Andrew D'Vrey Film Handler Posts: 92 From: St. Paul, MN USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-24-2000 12:56 AM                     Yes, we had a sneak preview of the full feature of Angelas Ashes about two months ago and I swear it was scope then. Yes, I know about trailers and I wholeheartedly agree Cinemascope all the wall. ------------------ "And the monkey flips the switch." - Major Don West, "Lost In Space" Andrew D'Vrey IATSE Local 219  |  IP: Logged
