Why 70mm?

70mm is essentially twice as wide as standard 35mm stock, allowing for a grander capturing of landscapes and action blocking. Some of the best-known 70mm releases are 1959's Ben Hur, 1962's Lawrence of Arabia, and 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's far from a common stock, and one that has fallen off in popularity with the rise of digital filmmaking.

There is currently only one cinema showing The Hateful Eight in 70mm in the UK (Leicester Square, London). Some other cinemas need to step up and show this film in its intended format!
