Shoot to B&W dupe, print B&W print stock.  But... you have a problem 
with modern audio on the print ( no cyan or magenta sound tracks possible).
Shoot to B&W dupe, print colour stock... you need to add the neg base 
colour as a filter during printing, but you get your correct sound 
track, and you're back to the vaguaries of  colour print baths.  Choose 
your demons.....
Similar problems we had with grey penguins...  bias them toward cyan, 
its a lot more pleasing if the print goes warm.

The old Agfa B&W print stock was quite warm compared to the Eastman 
product, even though there was no "colour" dye in the print.
