They can't all be 4K derivations in that 'premium' range though. Avatar was finished at 2K, and if In The Heat Of The Night was mastered from 4K it was a massive waste of time because the Blu-ray's got some major problems.

Thanks. I see that Fox Japan have The Longest Day (original Blu-ray) as being a 4K transfer too.

Wow. That makes the horribly DNR'ed Blu-ray an even bigger tragedy, if they started off with a fat 4K scan to begin with and ended up with that piece of shit.

Maybe they did a remaster for new one?

Apparently that's just a repackaged version.

The original film elements must be in poor condition, I didn't think much of Fox's domestic edition.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Just as noteworthy for Home Theater readers was the improvement we saw in 2K downconversions taken from fresh 4K scans—as viewed on a regular high-definition 2K flat-panel monitor akin to what any of us might have at home. Examination of a frame from the classic “Bring out your dead” scene in Holy Grail showed all kinds of enhanced detail, including leaves floating around in the air that are otherwise lost and additional sharpness in clothing and faces. “This movie was shot kind of soft, kind of low budget, and we try to preserve that [in the restoration],” Crisp explains. “But the previous [2K] workflows didn’t bring out what was really there. The resolving power of the scanners and lenses when the older HDs were done just wasn’t there.”

A direct 2K/4K scan comparison of a scene from The Odessa File on a 1920 x 1080 HD monitor was equally revealing. One close-up of a military officer showed gobs of additional fine detail in his beard that were simply washed out in the earlier 2K scan. Bottom line: New Blu-ray releases will continue to benefit from Hollywood’s migration to 4K masters, even as we await a native 4K delivery system to the home. “Whether you work at 2K or 4K to do the clean-up and the color correction, we discovered that the biggest difference is in the original scan, because that is what captures your information,” Crisp explains. “So even though you downrez to 2K for some projects, having started out with that oversampled image to begin with, you just inherently have more detail in the final product.”

The Women (1939) from Warner Bros. looks to have received a 4K film transfer. I can't cite any confirmation but the new BD looks too good for a 2K transfer, especially the short Technicolor sequence.

Man, it`s difficult finding information about Warner (MPI) 4K scans. I found a lot about Disney live action titles(not on blu), but nothing Warner.

*I found one Warner title, The Exorcist: Post Magazine - November 2010 - Copcomm
One Fox title not worth mentioning: Post Magazine - NOVEMBER 09 - Copcomm

Have you some better source that Patton, French Connection and Wall Street uses 4K transfers ?

The problem is, Germany Fox dont bring the remastered version.
I asked them about this releases and they say they have not better material, so no new releases coming.

"Hallo The Rider und Morricone,

zu den genannten Titeln liegen uns keine überarbeiteten Versionen vor, daher ist eine Veröffentlichung aktuell nicht möglich.

Viele Grüße,
Euer Fox-Team"
