    4k releases aren’t up-resolutioned 1080p. They are new transfers from the film print. That’s the entire point of 4k Blu-ray releases!

      Yeah… not always. Especially older stuff that would need to be rescanned from film.

          Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I went looking for… well there was another site that listed them but it seems to be shut down now, so thanks for posting that.

          I also ran across and article that mentioned IMDB having a page for every movie that had details on its original shooting format e.g. 2K digital/35mm/sony handycam (looking at you Blare Witch Project)… but I think that’s gone subscription only? Not sure, maybe just gone.
