Fathom Events Will Screen ‘The Thing’ in Original Aspect Ratio After Fan Outrage
Fathom Events has planned screenings of John Carpenter’s 1982 horror film “The Thing” with projection in the original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 widescreen after previous screenings displayed the film in a cropped ratio of 1.85:1.
Over this past weekend, Fathom held screenings celebrating the 40th anniversary of Carpenter’s classic. However, many ticket buyers were disappointed to see the film outside of its original format.
In a now viral Twitter thread, screenwriter and director Mick Garris wrote, “I just got back from seeing John Carpenter’s masterpiece at the Fathom Events 40th anniversary screening at the Universal Citywalk AMC… and I will never Ever see a Fathom Event again, and I recommend that you avoid them like the plague.”
Another user agreed, “The projection was awful.”
Fathom Events released a statement on Monday evening, addressing fans ahead of Wednesday’s upcoming screenings of “The Thing.”
“Your patronage and trust are of utmost importance to us.
