I know it was shot in Super 35, that’s why I’m asking what the status of the print is. So, no chance to have an open matte release out of it when it will be scanned. That would have been a cool addition.
Yeah that’s right, all prints of Titanic are scope. And Terminator 2 which was also a Cameron film shot on Super 35. The only way to get an open-matte release is to scan the lab material. 😃
Do we already know if there are missing frames ? Maybe at reel changes? I’m willing to help but I would be disappointed if there were “holes” in the movie like in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark” scan.
Raiders was a damaged print, and they will need to scan a second print to patch everything up! We don’t have that problem with Titanic - if we do find missing frames we can replace them with the pre-2012 HDTV source, but I’m confident there won’t be very many in this print. There certainly won’t be missing sections like there are with Raiders.
I should point out that even the “Silver Screen Edition” of Star Wars has some Bluray frames in it, but you would never known because they’re inserted seamlessly. I should stress the point though that the SSE was a scan of a duplicated print in unknown condition, whereas this print is in great condition. If you’re interested I can send you the full reel by PM and you can check if there are any missing frames.
