Incredible. UGH! three weeks till I get my blu-ray copy, I want to see this film again like now.

Here's an interview that features Hurwitz playing part of the theme on the theremin @ 15:29. Also, I want a theremin.

Question about the Lunar scenes:
Did they shoot those family flashbacks also on 16mm and then printed it on 15/70mm IMAX? I saw this film in Laser/Atmos but not in IMAX so I obviously couldn't see the aspect ratio change during the Lunar scenes but on the blu-ray you luckily do get the aspect ratio switch.

Well, the 16mm segments filled the whole IMAX screen (1.90:1) - I think they also filled the whole screen in the 1.43:1 Laser version (to anyone who has seen it in that format: correct me if I'm wrong).

I know, they also filled the entire TV screen but I was wondering if they printed it on IMAX film or did something else with it.

It's funny how I understood what you meant but decided to write what I wrote anyway :D

I don't know the exact workflow but I'm going to guess that it was all done digitally (DI) since they didn't make any 70mm prints (I think a print exists for archival purposes). It seems pointless to me that they would digitally scan the 16mm material then print it on 70mm film only to scan it again for a DI if that makes sense.

everything was scanned, graded and delivered digitally (in 2k :/)

Guess it's because of the amount of 16mm footage that they went for 2K?

A blu-ray sourced from a 70mm print would be bliss
