Author Topic: Sound of Music 40th ann. prints? Scott Balko Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Redwood Falls, Minnesota, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-29-2005 09:36 PM                     Has anyone heard if there will be any new prints struck for the 40th anniversary of "The Sound of Music", and if so will there be any done in 70mm?  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-29-2005 09:55 PM                     Not sure; I hope so. But...Fox did strike (at least) one new 70mm-DTS print last year or the year before. I'm not sure if the print is available for booking. I'm aware of a couple of screenings in Los Angeles for a Robert Wise retrospective and special events at the Academy.

Its not available for general bookings. We tried and were turned down last summer...... Seems they don't want to let it out of town.....

The Sound of Music isn't on the list this year, but they did run it in 70mm just a couple of years ago. Beautiful print.
