I know what the cameras are, first one is Bell & Howell super 8 sound camera and second one is Kodak Ektasound 140 or 160 camera.

I have also seen the trailer and wondering for the cartrdige because it seems too big for silent film.

So if this is E160 Sound which has been long discontinued, what is the time of the story? It seems to me that the film is not a kind of flashback.

Film is set in 1979 all around a home movie being shot and what happens when a train wreck occurs and its mysterious cargo escapes!

Yup looks like the second scan down is the Kodak Ektasound 140. F1.2 lens 9-21mm and from memory filmed at 18fps or 20fps which was strange. My first sound camera and much fun in the fairly early 70's. [Eek!]
If someone puts that trailer out on super 8 it will sell like hot cakes!

But the downside of this release that it will mislead our search especialy Ebay search [Wink] [Big Grin]

I usually searched in unusual category by putting "8mm" or "Super 8" + "film" or "movie"

But now it cannot ...! [Mad]

There used to be "8mm" (by Nicolas Cage) but since the title is too short it didn't mislead a lot, but now..."super 8" !!

Well folks, today was the first time I have added the Scope trailer to a movie, so far its just been the flat teasers. The Scope trailer looks great and would make an excellent Super8 release.

If the trailer is anything to go by it does looks like a movie worth going to the cinema to watch. [Smile]

I think!... "Super8" is in for a bit of a revival [Cool]

Depend on the projector and it's aperture plate. The blurb says 50% bigger and myself starting on Regular/Standard eight I noticed the extra size screen that I could obtain in my room at home. The Eumig projector gates are smaller than other projectors. Some people have enlarged the gate due to this by filing away the generous over masking these Eumigs have. Not a easy job though.

I placed the "Scope" trailer right on the front of new "Pirates of the Caribbean" out this week. Imagine this [Roll Eyes] the lights go down, the masking moves out "side masking that is" [Smile] and da..da..the Super8 Scope trl hits the screen. It looks really really good and a must have for any Super8 release. It would have to be the long "Scope" version though! and I am sure that this new film will create some sort of interest in Super8 even if its only just out of curiousity, what this thing called Super8 is all about. [Smile]

Bryan photo stating "Click Here" has got me stumped anyone got any ideas why the film makers put it in there?.

Graham-Do your black screens on the sides pull out for a 'scope' film and reveal a wider screen? I haven't been to a theater for years that has done that. Now that it is digital a scope film is shown on the same size screen as a flat, 1:85, screen. Like letterbox.

Hi Larry

Two of the three screens we have has side masking. Top and bottom is fixed so when the Scope tag goes through as well as the turret on the projector rotating for Scope the side masking moves out at the same time to give you the wider Scope picture. The automation also gets the lights down tag just before the Scope change at the end of the flat trailers so the theatre is in total darkness as the masking is moving out.

The modern "Reading" cinema near where we live has fixed side masking so when they do the Scope change the top moves down to reveal a smaller picture than the previous adds and flat trailers. Its one of those things that makes me cringe [Frown] every time I see it when we go there. I am not sure where where this idea of fixed side masking came from, a Scope picture has to get bigger not smaller.

Well, the main character would probably be more grown up in any sequel so they'd probably call it "16mm", wouldn't you think??

They should make a sequel called "9.5mm"

-it would be a real mystery to most people.

The good news is this one seems to come with T-shirts

Super-8 Movie T-shirts

I don't actually intend to go to the movie, but I want one of these shirts!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Sounds more like a title for a prequel (especially as "Super 8" is rumoured to be the unofficial prequel to "Cloverfield" where the aliens get recorded with video-cams) [Big Grin]

I rarely see movies at the theater - I'm going to see this one tomorrow. Roger Ebert gave it 3.5 stars, although I did not completely read his review, I wanted to leave much of the story a surprise.
