Yes, we’ve seen that. But for this 35mm print, we want to see the whole thing - fill width and full height. The 1.33:1 and 1.85:1 versions are already available in abundance on home video media. The print is unique and many of us are interested in seeing the entire image.
I totally agree. If the entire movie is cropped in the same way in the 1.85:1 version, I’ll volunteer to make a 1.85 version of the final scanned print for anyone who wants it.
