"After Earth" - "The Grand Heist" - "Masquerade" - "The Tower" - "Turbo"

Scope Filmography: 1922 - Present Day
American Widescreen Museum

This entry marks the completion of my annual round-up of scope titles from all over the world. I've been working on this since September, tracking down all the titles I missed during the first 9 months of the year. I doubt very much that I've caught every single film, but I've almost certainly caught a huge chunk of them, if not the majority. My thanks to those who made invalauble contributions, especially S Martin and Gary Couzens.

From this point onward, entries will be less frequent and not as lengthy - until next September, of course! The only thing that remains is the list of films from India, which will continue throughout the festive period until my research is done.

Updates and corrections:


The international title for ALLES IS FAMILIE is THE FAMILY WAY.

The on-screen copyright for LOCKOUT is 2011, not 2012 as currently listed.

And Riccardo Freda's pioneering horror film I VAMPIRI will be released on home video in the UK next year as THE VAMPIRES.

Updates and Corrections:


The film currently listed as Billy Rose's Jumbo should be listed as JUMBO, since Billy Rose's is a possessory credit. Also, the film currently listed as Venus im Peltz shoule be listed as LE MALIZIE DI VENERE, since this is an Italian-Swiss-German co-production and the Italian title takes precedence (Venus was, of course, the German title).

The on-screen copyright date of CHINA MOON is 1991, not 1994 as currently listed.

THE DELIVERY MAN is being shot on 35mm film, not HD.

El Hombre del Rio Malo should be rendered as EL HOMBRE DE RÍO MALO.

Updates for existing entries:

The copyright date for THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY is 2011, not 2012 as currently listed. Similarly, THE HUNGER GAMES should be 2012 rather than 2011, and the film has also been released in a Digital IMAX version.

Currently listed as spheri-crop, L'HOMME QUI RIT was actually shot with Hawk anamorphic lenses on HD cameras.

ISABELLA was shot in Panavision, THE MESSAGE (2009) was filmed in Arriscope, and MR. NICE GUY was shot in Technovision.

LOCKOUT was shot with anamorphic lenses and HD cameras, rather than 35mm Panavision as currently listed.

MAIS QUI A RE-TUÉ PAMELA ROSE? was co-directed by Olivier Baroux and was shot with HD cameras outfitted with anamorphic lenses.

The film currently listed as Maria Mundi and the Midas Box should mactually be spelled as MARIAH MUNDI AND THE MIDAS BOX. And Texas Chainsaw 3D is actually plain old TEXAS CHAINSAW, no matter whether you see it 'flat' or 3-D.

The cel animation film McDULL: PORK OF MUSIC was filmed with HD cameras.

The English title of ¡ATRACO! is HOLD-UP!

Gary Couzens informs me that the on-screen title of the film currently listed as Breaking Dawn Part 2 is actually BREAKING DAWN PART TWO.

Currently listed as 'Anamorphic', THE COLLECTION was actually shot with Hawk anamorphic lenses, and GF*BF was filmed in Panavision. Similarly, UN CRIME AU PARADIS is listed as 'spheri-crop', though it turns out to have been filmed in Panavision.

Currently given as a 2007 production, the film listed as Gallowwalker has only recently been completed and the title changed to GALLOWWALKERS.

I'm embarrassed to say that a slip of the keyboard in a recent blog entry meant a surgical procedure for director Alexandre Aja (!), the director of HORNS, who inadvertently became 'Alexandra'! All dignity is restored here, with the entry as it should have been given in the first place...

Contrary to what I reported in this earlier blog entry, LOBOS DE ARGA was released on UK home video as ATTACK OF THE WEREWOLVES. Sources had suggested that the film was promoted under that title, but rendered on-screen as THE WOLVES OF ARGA (a legit AKA, used in other territories). However, a viewing of the Blu-ray edition proves otherwise. Also, the film was shot with uncredited anamorphic lenses, not spheri-crop as I'd insisted until now.

Though currently listed as Micmacs à Tire-Larigot, the on-screen punctuation for this 2009 film is actually MIC MACS A TIRE-LARIGOT.

DEVIL SEED has been released in the UK as THE DEVIL IN ME.

The film previously listed as Gibraltar has now been retitled THE INFORMANT.

The copyright date of BEING FLYNN is 2011, not 2012 as currently listed. And MEAN GUNS is 1996, not 1997.

I mistakenly listed director Justin Lin as Justin 'Lim' in the recent entry for FAST AND FURIOUS 6.

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON is Panavision, not spheri-crop as currently listed. Similarly, TWO LITTLE BOYS is Techniscope, not spheri-crop.

The English title of SCHUTZENGEL is GUARDIANS.

The film currently listed as Wish You Were Here should actually be listed as wish you were here. (lower casing, with a full stop at the end), and the on-screen copyright date is 2011 rather than 2012, as currently listed. Thanks to Gary Couzens for that confirmation.

Gary also writes to confirm that GINGER & ROSA is spheri-crop, though sources conflict on which format was used (HD or 35mm).

S Martin writes to confirm that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut is called DON JON'S ADDICTION, not Don John's Addiction as currently listed.

The Korean film currently listed as THE CRUCIBLE was finally released under the title SILENCED.

"Ace Attorney" - "The Bayside Shakedown: The Final" - "Carrie" - "Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day"

Scope Filmography 1922 - Present Day
American Widescreen Museum


Recent Japanese cinema is the primary focus of this particular update. The Japanese entertainment industry continues to produce anime films at a rapid pace, many of them in scope format, and most of these continue to be rendered via 'traditional' cel animation rather than CGI. However, this leaves me in something of a quandary, since I don't know whether they were shot with HD cameras or (as in the past) on 35mm film. If it's the latter, are they photographed in Super 35, or do the filmmakers employ anamorphic lenses? It's impossible to know from simply looking at the films themselves, so I've no choice but to mark the relevant titles with an asterisk, indicating that these entries are incomplete, missing full details of the photographic process employed on individual titles.

My thanks, as always, to correspondent Gary Couzens for pointing out the 'scope' status of LED ZEPPELIN: CELEBRATION DAY.

In the past, I've listed a number of Japanese films under a transliteration of their original title, having failed to identify credible English alternatives for those particular entries. New investigations have unearthed English names for a small number of older films, as follows. The first title given here is the 'new' title, followed by the older (discarded) one in parentheses:

ABASHIRI PRISON: DUEL IN THE SNOW (Abashiri Bangaichi: Dai Setsugen no Taiketsu).
THE EXECUTION OF LOVE (Ai no Shokei).
I LOVE YOU [1959] (Ai Rabu Yû).
LOVE KNOT (Ai no Kizuna).
UNIVERSITY BANDITS (Daigaku no Sanzôku-tachi).

OPERATION E is now the official English title of OPERACIÓN E.
