Yeah Kev, (but I thought you knew this?)
In honor of Dietrich Kempski who released so many fantastic titles in 'Scope with some 'matted' to the correct ratio of 2.35:1.
Without him we probably wouldn't have 'Scope prints of BEN HUR, Dr ZHIVAGO, WEST SIDE STORY, LOGAN'S RUN, POLTERGEIST, 2001:A SPACE ODYSSEY, 2010:THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS, BRAINSTORM, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, TOM AND JERRY'S in 'Scope ...and many more no doubt!

Dear Ricky,
Sadly "Forbidden Planet" was never released, Cineavision obtained the rights, and rumour has it even went as far as pre-print material for a 3x400' release (and perhaps even F/L), when Doctor Van Tettering, head of Cineavision suddenly died, and as the business was not doing so well, his son would not go ahead with the release, and Kempski in Germany bought up the rights for scope 8mm releases, but never went ahead with a "Forbidden Planet" release.
