Lord of the Rings trilogy - open matte
#1
I haven't found anywhere info about an open matte version of LOTR trilogy, but there were full screen DVDs, they were p&s versions of an open matte version, so at least there *should* be an open matte master used for them.

Proofs? https://fanrestore.com/thread-20-post-22...l#pid22751

Ideas?

There is a 16:9 HDTV master for Fotr. The DVD is not totally P&S but still cropped on the side and open at the top.

Thanks for the link! Indeed, they are just 4:3 p&s of a 16:9 open matte version... still wonder if that open matte 16:9 version exists in some form... or if we are "forced" to buy the 35mm films to see it!

Yes the 16:9 master aired on HDTV here in the US.

Trying to find pics to show you but looks like avsforum doesn't have them any more

BD EE 2.35:1 Vs HTSV 16:9 full open matte (disregard the color grading, it's out of the scope of this thread):

WOW, that's great! If only it could be possible to obtain two versions, both 1080i, but each with the logo placed in a different corner... result will be a spectacular 16:9 logo-free version!!!

The 35mm release prints are actually presented in anamorphic scope. You'd need the original negative to obtain the open matte ratio Tongue

So, impossibile... let's hope to find an HDTV version!

The result will be a logo-free version, but I don't think that that HDTV source look spectacular. Is Nova Cinema Greek? Does the broadcast have Greek audio?

Frankly, apart the screenshots, I don't know anything more... Sad

But, as PDB wrote before, it seems there were (are?) 16:9 broadcasts in US, so maybe it's possible to use one of them, along this Nova Cinema, to obtain a logo-free version... of course, IF both could be found...
