"One of the most popular and influential films in the history of cinema returns to the silver screen with Lawrence of Arabia 50th 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 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Blu-ray Gift Set available November 13, 2012."
