Robert Harris said:King Kong can look as good as it does because, although shot on film, it was completed as a 2k DI. What we see on disc is merely a slight modification down from 2k to HD.
Thanks RAH for your information regarding how the way King Kong was finalized explains something that has always been sort of a mystery to me, namely, why the BD and HD-DVD versions of the film look so outstanding, especially compared to 99% of the other releases that came out in the first year or two of HD discs.
Also, your previous post was fascinating for all of the background info you provided in a number of areas, particularly because I'm a huge fan of the first 2 Godfather films.
And you have really raised my curiosity by your mention of a "new entity" that you said there is talk of being introduced. Though you could not provide details, considering what you'd been discussing just prior to that entity, were you referring to a new type of display technology?
