Will the final Blu have the screen content [picture area shown] as it is on the 4K screens or as it shows on the old 2010 Blu comparison screens ? Asking because they are not truly identical as there is some "zoom-in" on the picture in the older caps, the worst case of this is the pic with the...

Transformers: Age of Extinction

If it follows BD specs, its still limited to 1080p as there is no BD 4K media spec officially out yet. Cant be much of a higher bitrate if a movie this long is still contained within two discs. The "mastered in 4K" slogan is true for the 2012 BD release as well so they are stating something...

As a filmbuff in the IT business, from an IT perspective, the data archival problems inherent in the digital realm are not being looked at carefully enough. This problem is completely absent in the film realm and is one of the reasons film lasted as long as it did. A good doc that touches on...

I would advise u to read this whole thread from the beginning. There is a wealth of information to be found [including information on that very scene] and tidbits you will never read in print and could only be from the mouths of people who had been there. My advice is to take screenshots and...

You can see much of what is stated in this article hinted at in the film itself but Lean resisted any direct reference to it and, luckily for cinema, didnt make it the central theme of the movie.

Sad news indeed. Reading about it for the first time here for me seemed fitting. :(

Coming from a HUGE Spacey fan, yes, he does do a masterful job which is not surprising considering his natural gift for oratory, and even though it came in at 45+ mins, I actually listened to the whole thing at work. If I were an American actor going to the UK and I was planning to talk about...

How do you cut film in half ? More than likely, the sequences in question were shot on Super 8 and Super 16 and printed onto regular 35mm stock.

What Allenby thinks he hears that makes him so uncomfortable is that Lawrence was uncomfortable with killing the man because he had a sexual relationship with the man. It is considered fact that Lean inserted a lot of gay subtext in LoA very subtly [to get past the censors of the day], and it...

Pic at the bottom of this link is kinda strange as I thought this had already been done. http://www.techradar.com/news/television/tv/six-marvels-of-the-4k-revolution-at-sony-pictures-studios-in-la-1146838

Dont forget to ingest !! :D I see you already chewed a piece before you took the picture. Good boy.

Kinda tough not to since the author of the book pictured posts on this thread regularly and has a post just 4 above yours. :D I had the pleasure of meeting Lawrence Raskin at the Toronto showing of LoA last month and while he signed my copy of his book after the movie, he mentioned that those...

I think you mean shoe-prints in the sand :)

Yes, because the OCN was in no state to be printed from and, in fact, was coming apart even while they scanned it. I dont believe it was from the 8K raw files either but from the 4K files which is the resolution at which the restoration work was actually done. You should set aside a year of...
