No 4K for Amelie, sadly. Confirmed by Jeunet himself:

The film was remastered at the native 2K, NOT 4K. There will also be no 4K UHD, upscaled or not, because he thinks they're just a gimmick. Sigh.

Direct quote at 9:38
"The 2K is enough, 4K is just bullsh*t. You know, 4K is an invention from the TV sellers. Sometimes it looks too much video, it's too much electric. When I go in the store with a lot of TV screen, I throw up. It's disgusting.

It sounds, sadly, like Jeunet has only seen 4K TVs with motion smoothing and it turned him against the whole format. I've seen that with other people too. The interviewer does try to call Jeunet on this, very politely, but Jeunet has gone on to talking about another topic and doesn't hear him say this.
