Quentin Tarantino has created a lot of cult classics and I expect the same for his next movie. However, the movie has already leaked online before even the official release.

First the script was leaked and now the whole movie has leaked before release. This is bad luck for Tarantino =/

People should be wary of any potential spoilers for the movie online.

 

[SJRB]

Disney did it.

 

[Minamu]

Or the police?

 

[Scavenger]

Damn. Dude can't catch a break.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

First reply...


But it's that time of year for Oscar screener leaks.

 

[Ben Morales]

Wow, that sucks. I know he is just throwing his hands up by now.

 

[strafer]

The Revenant Screener has also leaked.

 

[Gonzalez]

Those damn Star Wars fanboys are so vengeful.

 

[FZZ]

Doesn't this happen to most movies close to the Oscar season?

 

[webkatt]

Can we have an OT to discuss the movie and its plot points before it comes out?

 

[Hagi]

didn't the same thing happen to Django? I remember people having seen that before it was even out in the UK.

 

[True Savior]

Holy shit. Awful.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Maybe it's time to install a firewall on that home PC?

I mean, twice for the same thing is probably not a coincidence.

 

[strafer]

So uh... appearantly there is 40 other screeners leaked

 

[Vazduh]

Doesn't this happen to most movies close to the Oscar season?

Yes. Apparently there are ~40 screeners about to be released. Basically most of the major Academy Award-nominated movies.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

So uh... appearantly there is 40 other screeners leaked

How many of them are unreleased movies?

How do these even leak out? The folks who leak it get some money or what?

 

[GoutPatrol]

Doesn't this happen to most movies close to the Oscar season?

They send out hundreds of screeners to Academy people to vote for the nominations. Its no surprise one of those hundreds makes it online.

 

[Aiii]

Doesn't this happen to most movies close to the Oscar season?

Yeah, it's a pretty unreliable system they have.

Then again, no matter what they could come up with, piracy always finds a way.

 

[strafer]

oboy....Creed is also leaked :/

seems like it's the major oscar movies

 

[Marty Chinn]

oboy....Creed is also leaked :/

seems like it's the major oscar movies

All the Oscar candidates are going to get leaked. It happens every year. It's what happens when you send out thousands of DVDs.

 

[number11]

Well it is award season. Happens every year. I'd rather wait to watch this in 70mm over watching a less than SD screener.

Can someone explain why screeners are such poor quality? is this the same quality the critics watch?

 

[UnluckyKate]

well we knew the end when the scrip leaked lol, so I'm not afraid of spoiler the film should shine else where as every tarantino

 

[plasmawave]

So uh... appearantly there is 40 other screeners leaked

If Star Wars is not among them then Disney is behind it!

 

[ZeroX03]

Tarantino needs to get his movies out before Xmas if he wants this to stop happening. Those screeners always hit around this time. Although I don't think it hurt Django too badly?

 

[Vazduh]

Can someone explain why screeners are such poor quality? is this the same quality the critics watch?

DVDs encoded with watermarks. Cheaper, I suppose. I wouldn't be surprised if they were single-layer DVDs, which would definitely explain the low(ish) quality of the source. There are exceptions - I remember a couple of BD screeners floating around a year or two ago, but those happen very rarely.

 

[wenis]

Sure did, but whatevs. The real experience will be in theaters in 70mm.

 

[Hagi]

Creed as well? damn half of these screeners are going to be for movies that aren't even out in the UK

 

[True Savior]

Nothing better to appreciate Lubezki cinematography than watching a Revenant screener.

 

[liquidtmd]

Its screener season.

That they haven't worked out an alternative to distributing Dvds to members is stupid

 

[bud]

why are screeners never blu-ray quality?

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Well it is award season. Happens every year. I'd rather wait to watch this in 70mm over watching a less than SD screener.

why would you send a big ass high quality file to a critic if it's going to get leaked anyway?

 

[strafer]

Its screener season.

Encrypted USB stick.

 

[ZeroX03]

why are screeners never blu-ray quality?

Who owns a Blu Ray player?

Spoiler

I own multiple, but I'm not a sixty year old Academy exec.

 

[Hagi]

why are screeners never blu-ray quality?

half of the academy folks don't even watch the films so it doesn't really matter

 

[bud]

Who owns a Blu Ray player?

Spoiler

I own multiple, but I'm not a sixty year old Academy exec.

so that's the reason? because those older academy members don't have a blu-ray player?

is this real life.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

half of the academy folks don't even watch the films so it doesn't really matter

Hehehehe... probably true

 

[Aiii]

so that's the reason? because those older academy members don't have a blu-ray player?

Blu-ray never made it big time.

Hell, most people here would never have had a blu-ray player if not for PlayStation.

 

[liquidtmd]

I own multiple, but I'm not a sixty year old Academy exec.

Lol

Spectre VHS screener incoming

 

[Bad_Boy]

Hateful 8
Creed
Revenant

Goddamnnn

 

[Chariot]

Disney did it.

Or the police?

 

[Lunaniem]

Goddamnnn

You're likely to see Star Wars up in the next 2 weeks too.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

It happens every year, Oscar screener leaks in mid-December is an internet tradition.

You're likely to see Star Wars up in the next 2 weeks too.

Screener? Doubtful, Disney has that shit on lockdown. Crappy quality cam? I'll be shocked if that's not out there already.

 

[Sheroking]

Why the Academy doesn't re-think their system astounds me. Every single year, almost every theatrical release that's submitted leaks.

 

[darkinstinct]

so that's the reason? because those older academy members don't have a blu-ray player?

is this real life.

No, the reason is that to judge the film DVD quality is enough and having BD screeners all over the web would be much worse. But the real question is why they still send out physical media instead of just handing out one time use streams of the movies.

 

[Hagi]

Why the Academy doesn't re-think their system astounds me. Every single year, almost every theatrical release that's submitted leaks.

I like to imagine that it's always the same guy who leaks them.

 

[Bad_Boy]

goddamn goddamn.

Well I'm glad i put money into creed, such a great film.

 

[Sheroking]

I like to imagine that it's always the same guy who leaks them.

That same Ellen Degeneres staffer?

 

[Brinbe]

Rough =(

QT must be pretty pissed right now.

 

[bud]

so these old people are the reason why they never leak blu-ray screener rips? because they don't have a fucking blu-ray player?

not that i would ever download anything like that because it is forbidden by law, but still, the whole thought shakes me to my inner core, and makes me contemplate my very existence; it is very unsettling.

imagine watching the revenant or the tree of life on dvd.

imagine.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

40 screeners? Welp.
