"One of the most popular and influential films in the history of cinema returns to the silver screen with Lawrence of Arabia 50^th Anniversary Event: Digitally Restored on Thursday, October 4 at 7:00 PM local time, with special matinees in select theaters.

 

Presented by NCM^® Fathom Events and Sony Pictures Entertainment, the restoration of the Director’s Cut of the film was overseen by Grover Crisp, Sony Pictures Entertainment Executive Vice President Asset Management, Film Restoration & Digital Mastering and conducted with the latest digital imaging technology. The original 65mm camera negative was first scanned at 8K. The film then underwent a painstaking process of repairing and restoring problems inherent to the 50-year-old film elements. Finally, the film went through a 4K color grading and re-mastering process at Colorworks Sony Pictures Entertainments’ digital intermediate facility.

 

This special event features an exclusive introduction from Lawrence of Arabia star and Academy Award^® nominee Omar Sharif, newsreel footage of the New York premiere, as well as footage of King Hussein visiting the film set. In addition, Academy Award^® winning Director Martin Scorsese will talk about the over-arching themes of Lawrence of Arabia and its influence on other iconic films in a recent, exclusive never-before-seen interview.

 

Winner of seven Academy Awards^®, including Best Picture of 1962, Lawrence of Arabia is considered one of the most timeless and essential motion picture masterpieces. The greatest achievement of its legendary, Oscar-winning director David Lean, the film has been honored as the No. 7 film on the American Film Institute’s (AFI) list of the “100 Greatest Movies of All Time.”

 

Don’t miss your chance to see this valiant desert classic for only one day and celebrate the release of the Lawrence of Arabia 50^th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Gift Set available November 13, 2012."
