As an aside, The Great Wall received a special grade (other than the conventional theatrical master specs developed back in the day - http://www.edcf.net/edcf_docs/DCI%20...cs%20final.pdf at the Digital Cinema Lab) to use/show as a demo clip on this display last month in Las Vegas….to where I’m off to now for NAB.

Later.

No signs of a 4K DCP for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 yet...

[Geoff D]

TBH it so wouldn't surprise me if this was 2K. Yes, it was shot in 8K and apparently has some of the CG-iest CG ever but damn, you never know...

2K DCP release for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Star Wars: The Last Jedi got a 4K trailer attached.

Guardians was shot in 2K and 4K

And there's me, not surprised in the slightest. That's not to say that all hope is lost for a 4K finish for Guardians, but considering you can put 4K 2D and 2K 3D into the same interop DCP nowadays it's not looking good.

The fact the director wants to switching between resolutions on a possible 4K Blu-ray releases, leaves a 4K DI open, yes.

Shots can be reframed to extremes without losing detail #NotOverkill

Actually when the set to post workflow was presented in detail at last year’s NAB, it was mentioned that some of the footage was acquired with Phantom and GoPro cameras (not 8K).

Switching whatnow? He said it was "shot in 2K and 4K" (despite the native 8K capture using the RED) but where is it said or implied that he actually wants the resolution to change? That in itself is problematic because you're talking about two physically different sizes of resolution, so the 2K would HAVE to be upscaled so as not to appear quarter-window-sized within a 4K container. Sure, 2K upscaling is par for the course but doing it deliberately when you could go 4K throughout sounds just plain weird.

[Geoff D]

Oh, I saw the lickle interview with Lizo Mzimba and not for a second do I think that he's talking about the actual resolution changing on the fly, he's simply saying what sources comprised the final master, which would be entirely consistent with 2K VFX (as per industry norms) and 4K acquisition.

kudo's though for the 7.1 audio (which sounded amazing) and a first for DisneyNature doc films: a Dolby Atmos mix (sadly I don't think will see the light of day on bluray or UHD)

Regular DCP.

The Dolby Cinema version is only in 3D here in NL.

Not entirely, there actually is some real value as to shooting in 8K even though one might finish in 2K, analogous to the value of 4K acquisition used as a super sampled raw file for a 2K finish. To understand the concept of the value of super sampling, start at no later than the 19:40 mark (also from a previous NAB) and listen for a couple minutes –

Will Silence get a 4K release ever? It was shot in 4K from what I've read on IMDB.

I love this movie so much and I don't want to get the blu-ray just yet.

[Resettito]

Silence is shot on anamorphic 35mm, 4K DI. It won't, because it bombed.

[puddy77]

Just noticed that The Last Jedi trailer playing in front of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is 4k.

It only had one fully wide (over 1k screens) weekend. Outside of that, it was in over 100 screens for three more weeks. It barely played, and was barely released. It's hard to call it a bomb when they didn't even push it into theaters for people to see in the first place. 9 weeks and five of them was in under 100 screens. And most of those six was just four theaters.

What a bunch of nonsense. No wonder it made barely any money.
