Re: The Films of 2020
Apropos of the discussion near the end of this thread, I have to think that some of the film-sourced music videos has been newly-scanned in high resolution; otherwise, that material is going to look pretty horrendous blown up to IMAX proportions.domino harvey wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 7:27 pmA Spike Jonze-directed Beastie Boys doc is coming to IMAX and Apple TV in April

Seems to be the film version of the book tour - Mike D and Ad-Rock both mentioned on stage that Jonze was "directing" the show, so there was speculation then that it would all be presented as a film. It was kind of a glorified book reading, but still lots of fun.

To that end, choosing for it to appear in the IMAX format sounds like a prank typical of Jonze or the boys themselves.hearthesilence wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 1:44 pmSeems to be the film version of the book tour - Mike D and Ad-Rock both mentioned on stage that Jonze was "directing" the show, so there was speculation then that it would all be presented as a film.

Hah, yes, BUT technically it's not as outrageous as you'd might think. You can find photos of the book tour online but depending on how everything is framed, IMAX could accurately recreate what they were doing on stage. The photo projections could be cut to as archival stills, but often times they served as backdrops. I don't want to spoil it, but the show is bookended by a projected stage setting that makes Mike D and Ad-Rock appear to be at a specific location - from the right immersive angle, it looked amusing, but it would translate hilariously well on IMAX.Roger Ryan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 2:03 pmTo that end, choosing for it to appear in the IMAX format sounds like a prank typical of Jonze or the boys themselves.hearthesilence wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 1:44 pmSeems to be the film version of the book tour - Mike D and Ad-Rock both mentioned on stage that Jonze was "directing" the show, so there was speculation then that it would all be presented as a film.

Initially thought this title referred to a bio-pic ala 'Straight Outta Compton'. Which I for one would love to see.
