As we reported earlier<\/a>, the upcoming German DVD release of Grindhouse<\/strong><\/a> will be in a 1.85:1 format, which means Death Proof (which was shot in open-matte Super35mm or something, I guess) will be slightly more ‘open’ than its theatrical exhibition of 2.35:1 cinemascope format. The producers of the German DVD have confirmed that this is the official PAL master from The Weinstein Company<\/strong>, and they have also let it be known that the Japanese DVD<\/a>, while sporting a complete 2.35:1 transfer, was pulled from non-official material, which also explains the slightly inferior image quality.
