I think they may have screwed themselves with this pic, in the right hand corner you can clearly see their phone number....
but what would the "tape" be?

Probably a digibeta or HDCAM master.

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
People on Facebook are saying it's either Part 1 of The Decalogue or Wall Street.
EDIT: One person suggested that it's The Game, and given the 2.35:1 ratio, that's a good possibilty.

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
I thought the Decalogue was all academy ratio. But the lighting/color does look closer to Kieslowski than Stone's film.

I've seen Wall Street my share of times, I honestly doubt that's what it is. The Decalogue sounds more likely.The Narrator Returns wrote:People on Facebook are saying it's either Part 1 of The Decalogue or Wall Street.

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
It's definitely not the first episode of Decalogue that they are talking about on Facebook. The indoor scenes were in a tiny apartment, no people in white shirts and only one computer...
Looks very 'documentary' to me...

The full picture on Facebook shows that it's in the 2.35:1 ratio, which rules out The Decalogue, Wall Street, Office Space, and After Hours.

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
Yeah, I just put in Decalogue to double check. That ain't it.
The image is almost exactly 1.78:1, but again, that doesn't mean much because Criterion crops and zooms these hints all the time.
