THX - Cimarron (1988 - 1992?) ORIGINAL MIX (v1.1)

I'll be deleting the previous incarnation of this restoration for each revision released.

Changes in v1.1:
- Speed corrected.
- Higher-quality audio briefly during the 'wormhole' sequence, sourced from "Star Wars: The Magic & the Mystery" (1997, aired on FOX)
- Dolby Digital logo censor refined

This is a restoration of the rare, original version of the THX "Cimarron" trailer, debuted with the 70mm six-track Dolby Stereo print of "Willow" (1988). Prints of the trailer with the original mix ended in the early-90's, but I'm not sure when. The THX Ultimate Demo Disc (2003) states that in 1990 it was "remixed for 70mm" and again in 1995 for Dolby Digital. There was never a print of the trailer in DTS, SDDS, and after the Dolby SRD remix no 70mm prints. If anyone has more information about the trailer, please let me know.

The audio was taken from a microcassette recorded in a cinema circa 1991, courtesy of Lionel Fouillen of Film-Tech.

This is my favourite THX trailer.

Hey bud-I used to be a film buyer for UCI-We looked after the Empire Leicester Sq and when any 70mm in Dolby Six track magnetic stereo film was on screen there from 1989-1993 this was always tagged on to the films. I consider this to be the best THX logo EVER. Why its never been reissued by Lucasfilm for new digital cinemas with THX is beyond my comprehension.

Hey man thank you so much!!!!

I've benn seeking that version hopeless!

Of course it would be neat if THx would care to reedit this version on a demu blu ray or dvd!

Last time I saw it, it was at the Max Linder, Paris, France, in 70mm!
