The latest dispatch from the Hateful Eight<\/em> platter farm<\/a> in Valencia CA, overseen by veteran film guru Chapin Cutler<\/a> of Boston Light & Sound<\/a>. Chapin writes:<\/p>\n

This is a picture of the last three Hateful Eight<\/em> prints leaving our print assembly location in Valencia. They are destined for local LA presentation locations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the other prints have been delivered or will be today [18 Dec.].<\/strong><\/p>\n

All locations have had their equipment delivered, save one; \u00a0due to facility issues, that venue’s equipment will\u00a0be delivered Monday.\u00a0<\/strong>By Sunday night or early Monday morning, all but the expected and remaining nine venues will be complete. The remaining nine will be done by end of day, Wednesday, 23.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just to remind you, from Chapin’s previous message<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Each shipping case\u00a0is 5 ft. x 5 ft. by 1 ft. thick. When loaded, it weighs about 400 lbs. . . . With the reel full, out of the box, the film and reel weigh about 250 lbs. Four people can easily lift it onto a platter deck.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m asking Santa for one.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Chapin for his work on the project and his cooperation with our blog. Thanks as well to the thriving and inspiring\u00a0Art House Convergence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t yet seen the list of Hateful Eight<\/em> 70mm venues and showtimes, you can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

P.S. 23 December 2015:<\/strong> Thanks to Gary Meyer of Art House Convergence, here’s a link to a very full story<\/a> on the rehabbing of projectors for Tarantino’s Great Experiment.<\/p>\n

P.P.S. 31 December 2015:<\/strong>\u00a0Be sure to check\u00a0this suspenseful tale<\/a> of projecting the movie…with Tarantino in the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
