there was only one 4K trailer delivered this week from Technicolor on the Trail Mix drive that most theaters get. I don't have the list from Deluxe in front of me but last week's trailer dump from...

Too bad WB won't return my emails. I'd love to play Hobbit in any frame rate. I'd find the funds to upgrade our system to support HFR....

Big BIG BIG Thanks to everyone from RED, Ted, Brian, HUGO!!!, Bre, Rob from Barco, Mike from Datasat, and all the filmmakers!!! We had an amazing time hosting the show here at the Downtown...

Some execs from the distribution side of a big Hollywood studio came by the other day for a 3D demo. Gatsby, hobbit and Prometheus were some of the trailers played along with a couple cgi trailers...
