 As reported on
these pages in
October 2020, the official Cinerama Inc. and Warner Brother's. digital
restoration/remaster of MGM/Cinerama's "The Wonderful World of the Brothers
Grimm" (1962) has been recently completed. Producers hope to premiere the
new digital 4K master sometimes in fall of 2021.• Go to "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" to be released on BluRay from Warner Archive • Go to Restoration and re-mastering “The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" from 3-strip 35mm negatives • Go to Information about the 3-strip movie "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" will be remastered in both letterbox and SmileBox formats for eventual Blu-ray and home video release from the Warner Archive Collection reported to be sometime later in 2021. The new remastered version was reconstructed from 6-perf Cinerama negatives and in some cases YCM separation masters as well as a 7-channel magnetic soundtrack print master. A restored 4K "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" trailer (A 1961 original MGM five-minute pre-release announcement trailer) was shown on the Cinerama screen at the annual Widescreen Weekend Festival in Bradford, UK in October 2020. The "Grimm" trailer presented here is a shorter theatrical version which looks quite stunning. As with Warner Bros. "How The West Was Won" digital remastering back in 2008, the legendary Cinerama join lines are practically invisible with “Grimm” as well. For those who are very familiar with the old 35mm CinemaScope version created back in 1963 on an optical printer, which has appeared multiple times on Turner Classic Movies, and years ago on laser disc this new digital restoration will appear like a completely different film as if it was shot yesterday. |

Almost A Lost 3-strip Presentation |
|
 "The
Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" ran 2½ months (22.03.1972 - 08.06.1972).
One of the last public 3-strip shows. An encore engagement at the Empire -
Cinerama in Paris (France). Picture by Thomas Hauerslev, February 2005"The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" was largely a "lost" film for many years. Short of a 2½ month encore engagement at the Empire - Cinerama in Paris (France) in 1972, some private screenings in a back-yard of a surburbian Sydney home, and occasional TV screenings on the TNT network, "Grimm" has not been seen publically in the original three-strip version for the better part of 55 years. In 2012 the Australian 3-strip Technicolor print was shipped to Bradford in the UK, for a one-off sold-out screening. "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" had been at the top of every Cinerama fan's wish-list, and the auditorium was sizzling in excitement. It was surely a "I was there" presentation to remember, to which in70mm.com reporter Mark Lyndon wrote:
