Not necessarily underway. More in line with the first flight of the Wright Brothers -- touching down every 150 feet or so.

Now 70mm must have more info to bear than 8k HD doesn't it ?
8k captures everything in older 65 negatives, although I haven't personally tested anything created within the lifetime of most posting here.
4k does nicely capturing image for 35, although again, I have not personally examined 6k scan to 4k for work. Keep in mind that once an image goes to film and projection, the losses pile up.

The Alamo and the legend who made the film. Do you have something that I can take back to these fans since the 50th anniversary year is fast approaching?
With the aid of MGM, we have done preservation of the original six track magnetic audio of the short version of the film. All else is on hold until corporate or charitable entities come forward with total funding, as we are not accepting personal donations.
