Quentin Tarantino wants to make sure you have the chance to see The Hateful Eight properly. After shooting his latest film in the stunning high-resolution, wide image 70mm format, Tarantino has plans to retrofit 50 theaters worldwide with the film projectors and anamorphic lenses required to do the photography justice.
In today?s cinematic landscape, shooting on film is rare and shooting on 70mm is almost unheard of, but Tarantino and cinematographer Robert Richardson took things to the next level, filming The Hateful Eight in the extremely rare Ultra Panavision 70 format, which is believed to have last been used on the 1966 film Khartoum. And in an interesting, but unconfirmed bit of film tech news, THR reports that the Star Wars anthology film Rogue One will be the next feature shot in Ultra Panavision.
After a screening of Hateful Eight test footage at the Cine Gear Expo, cinematographer Bill Bennett (who did not work on the film), offered up his reaction on twitter, along with a glimpse at the extremely wide-format footage.
