Sensual Sound Technology from Meyer Sound Lends Visceral Impact to Apocalypse Now Final Cut at Tribeca Film Festival Premiere

Forty years after its original 1979 release, filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola’s celebrated masterpiece of the Vietnam War era has been restored, remastered and re-released as Apocalypse Now Final Cut. For the first time, Coppola’s original intent for creating a visceral, deep low frequency impact has been fully realized with the introduction of Sensual Sound, developed by American Zoetrope in partnership with Meyer Sound Laboratories, Inc. of Berkeley, California. Under Coppola’s personal supervision, a team from his American Zoetrope production company remastered the film’s visuals in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision from the original negatives, and also transferred the soundtrack to high-resolution 96 kHz digital for remixing and remastering in Dolby Atmos.
