Plus (and I can't underestimate the significance of this), there are at least a couple of generations now who have never even seen 'true' 70mm photography on screen...merely 35mm blow-ups. Except for IMAX documentaries, it's almost a lost form of exhibition.

What those 65mm native resolution frames had going for them is exactly the kind of rich colour and detail that high def fans crave on their 1080p monitors in2wideo2. So 70mm to Blu-ray, properly rescanned and remastered, is a perfect fit of content with medium. Production costs vs. expected returns are the only limiting factors in terms of properly restored high-def output.

Appreciate your continuing interest in 70mm 6-Track movie classics being restored and brought to Blu-Ray. If given the proper TLC these movies absolutely shine on Blu-Ray. We have our work cut out for us encouraging younger generations to discover these movies for themselves. If we continue supporting the movie studios they will renew their interest in investing in their respective legacies.
