Is the OAR framing for this 1.78:1, or 1.85:1? I'm currently having a debate on it over on DVDCompare, I say it's 1.78...

That's a good question but unlike what I thought until recently, it seems even HD features are 1.85:1 originally (like SMALL APARTMENTS which has been kept as such on the DVD). But it's rare they're released on disc anything else than 1.78:1, maybe you can do both...

Don't pay attention to him to that guy, he seems like a real jerk and from what I saw he can't tell the difference between 1.78 and 1.85 so...

I don't understand people like that... he's commenting on a Punisher thread, with peope who are clearly excited about the film, yet all he can do is pop up and say how he hates the film... why bother?
Back onto the subject of OitC, was there any kind of limited theatrical release ever originally planned? It looks like more time has been spent giving the film more of a gloss and polish than your standard stark HD DTV image...

I don't think so.

Very good one for DTV - action-scenes looks nice, actors are not just staying and Dolp's killer Aleksey is one of the best his roles in years.
Now that's a better film for them to see. They should save up for a ticket for that and avoid Certain Justice and the Seagal film.

Hard to believe writer Derek Kolstad just went from ONE IN THE CHAMBER & THE PACKAGE to JOHN WICK:
What was your first professional screenwriting gig?
I rewrote some scenes on a little actioner called One in the Chamber with Dolph Lundgren and Cuba Gooding Jr.
John Wick has a ton of hype and seems poised to make a big splash with audiences. Before this you wrote two Dolph Lundgren VOD movies. Did writing Wick feel any different or is the only difference in release circumstances?
One in the Chamber was a rewrite assignment while The Package was a “write within these budgetary parameters” type of gig. Wick felt different because it was purely a spec which allowed you write any scene you want without worrying about how much it may cost. And yeah, a number of those more pricey sequences were eventually pared down or cut out.
