List of 4K film transfers on Blu-ray shot on film (non-digitally shot)

[Alfred E. Neumann]

I recently watched this german release of Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA and according to the restoration notes before and after the film the 2014 restoration is based on a 2007 or 2008 2k transfer (OCN, IP scan, HDCAM SR Master / Digital Intermediate) and some shots (especially effects) got replaced with a new 2014 4k scan of a different source, IB Tech Dye print and the colors of the german 2014 restoration (the 2k was edited to look exactly like the IB Tech Dye print too) are based on the IB Technicolor Dye prints because they wanted them in better quality (4k) and colors (supervised by Argento).

It's a 2k and 4k hybrid.

No it doesn't. Not even close.

Your opinion but it's not a fact. It has the wrong ratio, the animated scenes are DNR'd to death, the skin tones are unnatural, etc.

"Finished"? There was no DI for this 2001 film.


It may have been scanned at 2K for Blu-ray but that doesn't preclude it being scanned at 4K sometime in the future.

Supervised by director of photography Emmanuel lubezki, this new digital transfer was created in 4K resolution on a scannity film scanner from the original negative.

This is straight out of the booklet. May have been worked on and finished in 2K but the book says scanned in 4K

OK this is weird. On the back of the case, in Criterion's website, and in the original press release they all say 2K. Only the book says scanned in 4K. Maybe its a misprint?

AFAIK the resolution of the Scanity's sensor is 4.3K perf-to-perf, so no matter what the output res is at the physical scan itself is at 4K. But there's so much interchanging of terms like scan, transfer, master, restoration etc etc that whenever a number is mentioned it often needs a bit of guesswork or reading between the lines to get to the bottom of it. That said, Criterion usually stick to X number meaning the res of the final finished master in their write-ups, so in this case it's a bit out of character for them to say it was scanned at 4K and finished at 2K.

Re: The Quay Brothers set, the booklet says 4 shorts were remastered in 4k: Street of Crocodiles (1986), The Comb (1990), In Absentia (2000) and Anamorphosis (1991)

[HeavyHitter]

It appears the U.S. version of The Crow is from a 4K master. It seems identical to the JP "4K remaster" release without the filtering.

The Goldcrest team worked in full 4K throughout the project, and also deployed DaVinci Resolve Studio’s new high dynamic range capabilities to deliver the film in HDR for the first time.

And you may remove: It got all extras as well.



And replace it for:

So Frankenstein, Bride, Dracua, Creature, Invisible are all 4K transfers but Wolf Man 1941 is not?
