I’m not sure what the rules are on a film like Hardcore, but I thought I’d better ask anyway. When comparing stills from a widescreen and a fullscreen shot from that same movie, I found that apparently it was shot at Academy Ratio, but the top and bottom were chopped for a widescreen release. What I want to know is, was the entire movie in full frame ever released or preserved at all? Indeed, was it relegated to TV showings? (Assuming of course it was ever on TV at all.)
