So having thought about it...

Others will have a better memory than me. At the time of release, would a 2K DCP be likely to have been made, or would the cinema release have been 100% physical film.

If the latter, then at some point a HD scan was made to create the 1080i Blu-ray Disc. Would they most likely to have scanned at 1080p/24 and downsized that for TV, or scanned at 1080i?

That's 3 levels of possible archive available to them, I suppose, a 2K DCP, a 1080p/24 scan, or a 1080i/50 scan.

If it's the latter, I'm sure they can deinterlace back to 1080p/24 with whatever technology they have than we can in the home, and speed-change re-pitching is pretty easy these days.

Here's hoping. But what a shame we can't have a proper 4K.

EDIT: There was definitely a DCP made for the re-release, though what the source was for that, who knows.
