New entries ("100 Bloody Acres" to "Vampires: Brighter in Darkness")

More new titles for the scope filmography at the American Widescreen Museum. All of the entries which include a photographic process were supplied by correspondent S Martin, along with CORNOUAILLE and PARIS-MANHATTAN. Many thanks, as always!

EDITED TO ADD: Thanks also to Gary Couzens for the info he supplied recently via e-mail, and sincere apologies for neglecting to acknowledge that info when first posting this update!

And one correction for an existing entry: The US-Indian co-production THE ODE (currently listed as having been shot in 35mm 'Anamorphic') was actually shot with Panavision lenses.

3-D filmography

Anyone interested in a near-complete list of 3-D feature films (including many international entries seemingly overlooked by other US-centric 3-D listings) will find much to enjoy in the list below. The update contains dozens of new titles from all over the world, as well as corrections/additions to existing entries and a newly-devised separate section devoted to XXX titles.

3-D Filmography (1922 - Present Day)

The next update is due in November 2012.

New entries ("3, 2, 1... Frankie Go Boom" to "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning"

New titles and Updates ("The Best of Men" to "Welcome Home, Hayabusa")

Thanks again to S Martin for providing a huge chunk of the new entries this time around, all of them intended for my scope filmography at the American Widescreen Museum.

I've listed MAN OF STEEL as 3-D, since all reports suggest the distributors have set aside enough time in the post-production schedule to convert the 2-D film to 3-D in time for the final release date. However, this has not yet been officially confirmed and is subject to change.

And more thanks to S Martin for the first two entries in this Update section:

CHINA STRIKE FORCE (2000) is Panavision, not 'spheri-crop' as currently listed.

Playing the Field has now been retitled PLAYING FOR KEEPS (2012) and was shot in spheri-crop format, not Panavision.

UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES [ลุงบุญมีระลึกชาติ] (Thai/UK/Fr/Ger/Sp/Neth/USA - 2010) was actually shot and released with a 1.85:1 aspect ratio and has now been dropped from the filmog altogether.

Correspondent Gary Couzens informs me that despite the fact THE MASTER (2012) was shot in Panavision Super 70, the aspect ratio is actually 1.85:1, so the film has now been dropped from the list altogether. Not sure why director Paul Thomas Anderson wouldn't utilise the full width of the 65mm frame, but that's what appears to have happened.

AO: THE LAST NEANDERTHAL is an AKA for AO: LE DERNIER NÉANDERTAL (2010). I've seen the title listed as Ao: The Last Hunter in some sources, but I can't confirm if that title has been used on-screen in English-speaking territories.

The copyright year for SILENT HILL: REVELATION has been changed from 2011 to 2012.

And the film currently listed as Seediq Bale Part 2 has been re-listed under its full title WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW: SEEDIQ BALE PART 2 (2011).
