What the hell?
1.78:1?
I understand that that's a digital camera ratio - but this film was projected at 2.35:1. What's the intended ratio?
If this is a Columbia decision, that's awful.

It may indeed by a typo, but not by me. That's exactly what the spec list from Columbia said. I wouldn't have thought they'd screw up the aspect ratio on such a big release though. I hope not anyway!

I myself can't wait to pick it up. I was hoping for a commentary track and another "Ten Minute Film School" and surely Robert has done both for the dvd, so I'm a very happy man.

.And it was perfectly framed I might add (no stretching or cropping at all). Are you and Rypro 525 sure you saw it in 2.35:1?
