Well, a horror movie that does not involve a zombie, vampire, or daemon – very refreshing. Don’t Breathe is from the creators of the Evil Dead and you can get the first trailer in 5.1 audio at the Don’t Breathe page.
All links should now be working again.
wetransfer is currently offline due to technical issues, and as a result the links to the mkv files will not work at the moment. I will update to let you know when the service is restored. The mp4 files that reside on thedigitaltheater.com are available.
Trailer 1 for the upcoming horror film “Lights Out” is now available at the brand new Lights Out page.
Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016 is in London from July 15th to 17th and it is widely expected that a new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story will be shown to fans attending the event.
Making Star Wars has found that a 3 minute trailer for Rogue One will air on ABC from 8 PM – 9:01 PM EST during the special “Secrets of the Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey.
I will have the trailer on the site as soon as I can, and Disney is usually pretty good at including the PCM 5.1 tracks in their press kits. However, at 3 minutes this is not a theatrical trailer so there is no guarantee what we will have in terms of audio. Either way, I will add it to the site as soon as I can.
I have been reading that there is some concern over the quality of the film, a large number of re-shoots, and perhaps a change in tone of the film to be more family friendly than a “war film” as described by director Gareth Edwards. I thought that the first trailer looked fantastic, so I hope the new one keeps that same level of tone and intensity.
In the meanwhile, you can get the 5.1 version of Trailer 1 at the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story page, including 3D and Lossless Audio versions.

A while ago I disabled the RSS feed on the site as it was causing an excessive amount of server executions. I am happy to say that for those of you who do not use facebook, you can subscribe to our brand new Twitter feed https://twitter.com/digital_theater. The feed will be updated with every post so you won’t miss a thing.
Here comes the first tweet…
Trailer 3 for Star Trek Beyond is now available as a .mp4 with AC3 5.1 audio, or an .mkv with lossless FLAC 7.1 and AC3 5.1. This is my second trailer to feature 7.1 and I hope you enjoy the result. This is not the official mix, it was mixed by me using the individual dialogue, music and effects tracks. I find that playback of the FLAC track using my Onkyo TX-NR747 175-Watt 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver 
I also want to take a moment to recognize the recent death of Anton Yelchin, who played Checkov in the Star Trek reboot, including Star Trek Beyond. He was perfect in the role, and at just 27 he is a talent lost all too soon.
I uploaded the official 5.1 mix of Assassin’s Creed Trailer 1. This trailer has a lot of bass….don’t say you were not warned. You can get it at the Assassin’s Creed page.
I am now working on the latest trailer for Star Trek Beyond. I will post it once it is ready.
Getting back into adding new content and the first is the teaser for Disney’s Moana, which will be released on November 23, 2016. The trailer can be found at the Moana (2016) page.
On July 22, The Digital Theater will have been on the net for 1 year. According to the stats, it is in the top half million sites in the world, and in the top 50,000 sites in the Netherlands. That is pretty amazing. The site has even been linked to from Forbes.com – something I never thought would happen.
In preparation for the next year I have been thinking about making improvements. One of the things I want to do is to speed up the time it takes to post new content, and streamline the workflow. There is a lot of steps involved in converting from ProRes to H264, removing leaders, muxing tracks, mixing tracks, quality assurance, etc, and those steps will not go away. But I think I can do something to improve how I get the files uploaded and linked on the site.
I spent a lot of time on search engine optimization (SEO) over the past year, and I think I was successful in my efforts – appearing ahead of youtube and others in search results is impressive. The balancing act will be to streamline without negatively impacting the SEO.
With a new year comes new costs. It will cost about $235 to keep the domain hosted for the next year. You can help reduce the costs by donating to the site using this link. Thank you all for visiting and providing feedback over the past 11 months. I am looking forward to the year ahead.
