70mm film is huge. I'm not sure why anyone (especially Nolan) expected them to store every print forever. -- nm - Inigo Aug 7, 09:03 4
- If AMPAS is trying to preserve film, wouldn't the premiere format be of interest? -- nm - Max Aug 7, 09:12 1
  - I'd guess there's at least one print. Just not the initial release number of prints that would be required for a re-release -- nm - JD Aug 7, 09:13
- At least keep them for the planned re-release, though. - Spawn Aug 7, 09:04 1
  - I have a feeling the real answer is gonna be that they just didn't keep those prints. - Inigo Aug 7, 09:09
Do people sit around and light them on fire? -- nm* - budice Aug 7, 08:50 2
- They light their cigars with them. -- nm - Spawn Aug 7, 09:00 1
  - I'm relatively sure after the whole silver nitrate history of film prints that the IMAX exhibition print stock don't burn very well if at all -- nm - JD Aug 7, 09:04

I've seen pictures, those prints barely fit on the platters for the projectors. -- nm - sycor Aug 7, 08:45
