While I know this thread is referring to 4K film transfers, I still think it warrants including any film with a true 4K master. So that would include any films shot and mastered in 4K. You could always put an asterik for films captured in 4K. Have all films actually shot in 4K been mastered in 4K as well?

After some thought Kris i felt that digitally shot films should have a list of their own

Isn't a 4K restoration of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY due out on Blu-ray later this year? (I haven't viewed every page of this thread, so excuse me if this has been asked before.)

I wish Fox would do a 4K restoration of 1968's PLANET OF THE APES.

I wish Warner would go ahead and due a proper 8K restoration/master since 2001 is a 70mm film.

From Roger Deakins himself "On 'In Time' we were recording an uncompressed HD file but we still made a 4K master, rather than a 2K master, because all our tests looked so much better that way. From what I have seen it is even more important to finish in 4K if you want to retain all the detail that the camera is capable of capturing."

Anyway i will take In time off the list since it's digitally shot.

On the contrary, most haven't. Ask Stacey.

b.t.w., where the hell have you been?

Jurassic Park 3D is a 4K scan from OCN and Spielberg approved

btw, it's not confirmed that JP3D actually has a 4K master, to my knowledge anyway. It might be like Top Gun, where they scan the film at higher resolution but do the actual 3D conversion in 2K. Many 2K masters start their life as 4K scans, I think it's pretty standard procedure to oversample at high-end DI houses.

Van Ling (the guy who has worked on Cameron releases before) has personally told me that it's a 4K scan from OCN. Lowry did the scan. Ligtstorm did some of the restoration.

I believe it is from 4k, but strange I couldn't find a source.

"I was working on special features, and not on the remaster, so I'm afraid I can't tell you if this is a new transfer/remaster or not. My understanding is that Lightstorm was doing a full 4K scan of the film negative with Lowry Digital as a remastering source..." Van Ling

Speaking of movies they should rescan....2001 absolutely, no question they will.
I would like to see Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) rescanned in 4K.
It would look absolutely stunning.

Agreed. I watched 2001 several months ago and it most certainly needs a new scan as the current disc shows some filtering and edge enhancement and surely lack of detail compared to a new 4K+ scan - I'm sure at some point it will happen as Warner is said to be visiting some of their earlier titles.

How the West Was Won, each of the three side by side Cinerama frames was scanned in 2K and then mastered as a whole in 6K.

Jarhead http://www.theasc.com/magazine/nov05/jarhead/page2.html


The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford http://investors.autodesk.com/phoeni...385&highlight=
Particularly this bit of info:

-- Best Cinematography: EFILM used its EWORKS proprietary color grading
system, which includes Autodesk Lustre and Autodesk Incinerator, for
the digital color grades of No Country for Old Men and fellow nominee,
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Digital
intermediates for both films were realized at 4K resolution.

Django Unchained: http://motion.kodak.com/motion/Publi...i_Westerns.htm

Hopefully this will convince you
