Technical Information

Hello, I have been using TMDB for some years, although I have not, as far as I am aware, posted here before.
I wonder if it is possible to display a movie's technical information on the front end page for a movie, specifically if the movie is in colour or black & white, what colour system used, whether it is in widescreen or whatever format is used. Also whether the film's sound is in mono, stereo, Dolby 5.1 you-can-hear-the-dog-barking-behind-you surround sound. I would like it if it was displayed in the same section as the running time.
Thank you, I love this site, if the technical info was added to the front page it would automatically be preferable to the IMDb, where you have to scroll up and down to find the technical information. I would do it myself if there was a way it could be done across a large body of movies at once;
What do you think?
Thank you again, Stephen David John Butler, age 56 and 2/3. x

We can't display these informations as we don't have them in our database.

Hi @Stephen Butler, I do however have this as an open ticket here.

Thank you both so much for your help.
I think that the color process, screen resolution etc. is an important part of the film's technical information that a lot of people look for; they find it at the IMDb, the AFI database and so on, and to include it here would bring a lot more people over from the 'dark side.'
Thanks again, Stephen x
