Just wanted to give everybody a heads up and say that Romeo Must Die is a SCOPE movie. The information I was given stated otherwise, so maybe some of the info given to some other people is wrong too. Okay, it's sleepy time.

Thank you Masao for the heads up! I really appreciate that. Our trailer memos that we get each week are constantly wrong. Most recently it stated that The Ninth Gate was flat, when it is in fact Scope. Arrrrrrrg!

No problem. Being a Cinemarker, I know how often the movie sheets can be wrong (as of late) and it's a real pain redoing a trailer pack @ 3 in the morning.

We USED to have a lot of trouble with that kind of misinformation. The trailer req. from corporate would be wrong all the time. The "Scoreboard" sheets we get are wrong a lot of the time, too.

The solution we came up with was to withold any information about the print until it actually arrived and somebody could take a look at it. We used to be constantly be barraged with questions like, "Will this movie be in DTS?" I just started telling people, "I don't know till the film gets here." Now, we have almost no surprises.
