"Remastered." Now there's a word that can hide a thousand sins. "Up-rezzed" vs rescanned from film.

Visual effects in 2K. Kinda defeats the purpose of 4K.

Broadcasts in 3-5 years? Not OTA. Guess he means sat and maybe cable.

I agree with Navy. When I hear the word remastered I never think of pure HD. Though I would rather watch some of the old tv shows remastered than the typical sd.

If they are using 35MM film they could easily generate a 4k image from it.

For Ultra HD, movies are either shot in 4K (using 4K or 8K cameras), or they are remastered (from original film).

By "Remastering" they mean scanning/digitizing film to 4K (or 8K) frame by frame and then polishing each frame. It's a painstaking process. Lawrence of Arabia has taken nearly three years...
