Certain new digitally shot movies like The Girl with All the Gifts, 20th Century Women and Woody Allen's Wonder Wheel also use this ratio.

Ah, my wording was confusing, true. Yep, JW was shot mostly on film, though the linked article says that portions (aerial, it says) were shot on the RED Dragon at 6K.

I'd forgotten about 20th Century Women also being 2:1, seems to be a popular new compromise between the old "scope" and "flat" ratios.

A huge number of new TV shows seem to be using it, including the stunningly gorgeous "The Handmaid's Tale."

Was "House of Cards" the first mainstream production to use 2:1 recently? It was certainly the first time I'd ever seen it, outside of Storaro's eccentric use of it for years.
