Shoot in 65mm, project in 70mm. There's no such thing as a 65mm print. Though I'd love to see a 70mm print of PTA's next film, whatever it may be called, it seems unlikely. Instead, the 65mm negative will just make for a better 35mm/DCP image in the end, even though we'll never see it projected in 70mm.

No mention of Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet? That was the last film to be shot entirely on 65mm

Yes guys, "The Master" was an early working title, reported by the trades before production started. We still refer to it as that rather than Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Project because it's an easier shorthand.

Malick's THE NEW WORLD had scenes shot in 65mm, though only one of them made it through (the enormous amount of footage) to be seen by the general public. That scene arrived with the 172-minute extended cut, and is where Ms Kilcher's character (Pocahontas/Rebecca) attempts suicide with the mushroom, only to be strayed off be the singing of a bird. A truly wonderful scene in and by itself…

65mm is all about quality and resolution. It has nothing to do with IMAX. A lot of "The New World" was shot 65mm, you didn't see it anywhere near an IMAX. A lot of smart directors are shooting 65mm because it still has a more tangible image than any digital camera. No one has called this film "The Master" except for bloggers and IMDB. I would not be surprised if the title was something completely different.

@Alan, the same 65mm that this is shot on, is the same that 'Inception' was shot on. There is hope that 'The Master' will be converted to IMAX. The same way 'Inception' was. Like 'Inception', this would not fill the whole screen but would still be projected vertically.

2001: A Spacy Odyssey. Way better than A Clockworky Orange and Eyes Widey Shut.

So is the title of the film officially The Master then?

I don't think it would be too wild of a guess to think that this will come out in late fall exclusively in New York and Los Angeles before moving onto a larger platform. Not exactly rocket science.

Patrick, did you just completely ignore the article? It is not IMAX 65mm. It is classic 65mm.

how sweet would it be if The Master was released in IMAX theatres, the same way inception presented its 65mm footage
