Predator (1987) 35mm Full Frame

[marin888]

Can we agree that 4k BD is perfect home video release ever for 1.85:1?

But what about a Full Frame...


spoRv:
FF film cells Vs 1.33:1 DVD

Do you see how much is lost? Sure, the whole frames were not intended to be seen by us, "mere" mortals (read: director's composition and such...) but hey, if they are available somehow, why can't we have a chance to see them?

spoRv:

...Predator is still available in 35mm; if someone would like to contribute to buy, ship, and transfer it, an interesting restoration is possible...

Is it a full frame print?



maksnew:

I know where you can get 4K scans films, but the price is not small, an average of $ 1500 per film.

They have a full frame print?




Is 35mm FF was ever listed over ebay or any collectors site?

Super 8mm Derann

The super 8 prints were printed "open mask"; ie. same as the 35mm negative to 35mm print and were projected in theatres with a 1.85 to 1 mask in the projector gate.

Picture quality is just superb with pin sharp focus throughout and excellent colours although with a very slight blue tint, but that is to be expected with most Derann features nowadays.

..and have to admit I agree it is up there with the sharpest of super 8 print releases I have seen, accompanied with a dynamic stereo recording to enhance the viewing experience.  ...and left me with the same impression and impact as it did in the actual cinema back in 1987!

I don't recall anything creeping into the top and bottom of frame on "Predator" that you really shouldn't see (like microphones, etc.), although I do remember that on the heat camera effect "Predator Vision" shots, you ocasionally see words like so-and-so VIDEO, etc. in the extreme bottom of frame!!!

From another Derann print

Looks like there is no words like so-and-so VIDEO on every "Predator Vision" shot.

Is there any Full Frame / Open Matte 35mm film...?
