Which titles will hit 4K Blu-ray first?

[moviedude 2K15]

Do any of you have a feeling for which movies could be among the first wave or two of Ultra HD Blu-ray titles?

Here's the ones I would think may be likely:

007 Spectre
Bad Boys II(will come out on 1080p Blu-ray at the same time)
Furious 7
Goodfellas
John Wick
Jurassic World
Mad Max: Fury Road
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
Pixels
San Andreas
Taxi Driver
Ted 2
The Terminator
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
True Lies(will come out on 1080p Blu-ray at the same time)

Personally I think it will be a lot of Sony/Columbia titles, The Amazing Spiderman 1 & 2, Maybe even Spiderman 1,2 & 3.

Do you know that HDD based media player Sony released it was a round player? Well, I think any title on that will probably be launch titles because the transfer clearly exists.

I'm guessing Star Wars at launch.

Actually my first guess would be Pan.

I've read somewhere that Tomorowland is rumored to be one of the first titles

[Frank@Chicago]

I would think that the newest movies would make the most sense, unless you go back to older movies where everything was 'in camera' and on film.

Tomorrowland was shot and rendered (visual effects) at 4K, so for me that would really show what the new format can do.

Most modern-ish movies have effects sequences that were rendered at much lower resolutions and as such would not look much better than BD.

For example, I just watched the first Thor movie and I didn't think some of CG stuff (like far shots) looked particularly good even for BD.

The Hobbit trilogy EE but i would love to see what ALIEN looks like?

[jono3000]

Tomorrowland.
Inside Out

The recent wave of anniversary edition Blu-rays with 4K masters (Goodfellas, Apollo 13)

Any of Sony's titles previously released as part of their 'Mastered in 4K' range

Life (BBC nature series)

Any of the following Sony titles

[Frank@Chicago]

Elysium (Sci-Fi flick with Matt Damon) says Mastered in 4K, but who knows what the effects were done at.

[Ooze33]

I'd be really happy if House of Cards Seasons 2 and 3 were launch titles. Season 1 too, though I don't know if 4K masters exist.

[I KEEL YOU]

I assume that Warner have 4K scans of all Kubricks. I know that 2001 and A Clockwork Orange have one, and together with Eyes Wide Shut they're in most need of an upgrade anyway.

A theatrical cut of Star Wars on UHD blu ray would be one of the few hopes of the new format catching on. That and Breaking Bad.

So many films with a 2k finish that would need to be rescanned, they will lead with already available 4k masters.

Mad Max Fury Road

Unfortunately shot in 2.8K and mastered in 2K, so it would only be an upscale.

That's not stopping Fox

The same shit that gets rereleased over and over. What movies have come out a million times on DVD and Blu-ray and double-dipped to hell and back? There's your answer.
