So the trailer dropped yesterday for the Synder cut of Justice League. And it looks amazing! A completely different story is going to be told and I can’t wait.
I know this technically isn’t a fan preservation, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the fans and it is a preservation in many different aspects.
So when Zack says that this will be his original vision, he completely means it. I was very excited to see that he hasn’t just been formatting the clips he showed off earlier this year for social media posts. No it’s open-matte IMAX 1.43:1. After watching the trailer a bit, one can tell they have some further editing to do as their scans are bringing in the edge of the frame of the film cells a little bit.
Jeremy Jahns thinks it’s just for an old timey VHS 4:3 aspect ratio, which is obviously not the case.
I fully believe that Synder may have actually had some IMAX film cameras rented out even though Star Wars used a couple (But never actually used the full frame) and Dunkirk had most of them.
There are already people complaining about it not being widescreen. I somewhat expect there to be two presentations of the mini-series in more widescreen friendly aspect ratio (like the 1.89:1 theatrical version) and one in 1.43:1.
Obviously if you just download the trailer from youtube and crop it in your player you should get a good idea if the framing works or not. 2.39:1 is a little iffy and I would assume that if it is cropped by Snyder and co. it they will probably do some adjustments and move the frame up or down in some cases. 1.89:1 on the other hand is perfectly fine and isn’t missing anything super valuable to the shots.
I for one am super excited for the 1.43:1 aspect ratio being the main ratio of the film/mini-series and I hope it makes it to the physical release as well. This is making me speed up the timeline on finishing my basement and getting my home theater going.
I did a little frame comparison with three different stills from an HQ source of the trailer;
