The new Taxi Driver blu-ray, is supposes to have higher bit rate and xvYCC Extended-gamut, but it's not clear how Sony is going to achieve this, as it's not supported by Blu-Ray disc standards. AVCHD is compatible with "most new Blu-ray" players and can decode xvYCC Extended-gamut, if this is what sony plans then some player won't be able to play the new Sony Mastered in 4k blu-rays, we won't know until the discs are in peoples hands, and this of course is still 1080p.
