Theoretically from what I've seen in the leaks, this could be a 6k scan. I mean that I've seen reference to *up to* 6k scanning. I highly doubt they're enlightened enough to take it at that full scan level, clean it up, and release a raw "uncompressed full res" version digitially only or on thumb drives at 6 to 8k for buku bucks a pop. That would make too much sense, diseny is too retarded to do that.

The original negatives were 35mm film, and if they did a good job with that, they could get useful information even at those (and maybe slightly higher) levels. Yes, film in competent hands can contain that much detail.

Some or a great many of the optical effects were done on 70mm film and spliced into the 35mm film. This means those effects would or could have more detail and finer grain structure than the 35mm film.

There reportedly were some *blow ups* to 70mm film of the movies made and shown, but you wouldn't get more detail thant he original had. Also there were reportedly multitrack (more then stereo ... I think I've seen it said they were six track) cuts of the audio that was played with these 70mm showings - these are IIRC effectively lost, and can only be recreated. If they are smart they will find and restore those and give that option.

IF they do a REALLY good job *from the original negatives* that could theoretically be multiple "generational copies" better than what was seen in theaters. What I mean is that there was the original negative, a copy made of that, and IIRC they took copies of that copy to make the projected film reels everyone saw in the theaters. I am no expert or even amateur here, I'm just repeating what I remember seeing.

What would suck very badly is if they did the hideous nonsense that cameron has done to his movies where they try and use AI and postprocessing to remove all film grain. Doing so inherently and always removes useful visual information detail... all because some mentally midgeted "autist" who can't get out of their mommie's basement doesn't like film grain.

Man, this is so subjective.

I don't care about film grain. Take it or leave it, I'll watch anyway.

I'm unbothered when they do subtle vfx improvements like making it so I can't see the AT-ATs leg through the canopy frame of the snow speeder.

It's the added animation that clearly doesn't fit in a film from the 70s that pulls me out of it. Sarlacc doesn't have a beak, Darth Vader has eyebrows and I don't need a cheesy sesame street musical number.

Trailer Drops of AI Val Kilmer Playing Huge Role in Upcoming Movie, Raising Obvious Concerns


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1hwb-kB_7A

The debut of a trailer for the indie historical drama As Deep as the Grave at CinemaCon this week revives more than memories of Val Kilmer. It resurrects the actor himself—or at least a generative AI facsimile of him—in a role he never lived to film.

One year after Kilmer’s death from pneumonia at age 65, filmmakers have deployed cutting-edge technology to place his likeness on screen for over an hour, raising urgent questions about consent, legacy, and the boundary between honoring the dead and commodifying their image in an age when Hollywood’s illusions grow ever more godlike.

America First Healthcare - American Dream
Kilmer signed on years ago to play Father Fintan, a Catholic priest who also embodies Native American spiritual traditions in a story centered on archaeologists Ann and Earl Morris excavating Canyon de Chelly in Arizona. Production faced pandemic delays and Kilmer’s declining health from throat cancer, which had already robbed him of his natural voice.

Rather than recast or excise the character, the filmmakers—writer-director Coerte Voorhees and producer brother John—later approached Kilmer’s estate, including his daughter Mercedes. With family approval, archival material, and union guidelines emphasizing consent, compensation, and collaboration, they built the performance through AI.
 
So excited.

The new Supergirl movie comes out Friday.

Glad to see the Road Warrior feral kid is back.
