Author Topic: Astor Plaza 2001 Sound Question Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-21-2001 12:06 PM                     I'm getting some VERY conflicting information on this engagement, and I'm hoping someone here can clarify things. Is the 70mm print of 2001 at the Astor Plaza being shown with DTS or Magnetic sound? I've heard from two very reliable sources, and they totally disagree. Does anyone have any additional information on this? Thanks (Note: I just noticed in another thread a very depressing report on the Astor Plaza situation. There are hints in that posting that the print is mag.)  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-21-2001 12:39 PM                        If that is the same print that's been touring Seattle, Frisco and DC, it's mag ------------------ Greg Mueller Amateur Astronomer, Machinist, Filmnut http://www.muellersatomics.com/  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I find it odd since the print we ran was indeed a format 41 (5-screen channel film with SR NR) and for a DTS print, then a 5.1 mix (for theatres) would have to have been done.

Karen did confirm that (in another topic posting) DTS has made disks for some 70mm prints.  |  IP: Logged Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-21-2001 03:21 PM                     I saw it this afternoon and it's definitely mag. ------------------ Bob Throop  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Also, the ads in the paper say it's DTS. Weird...  |  IP: Logged
