Not sure how good this will look in 4k. It was shot on Super 16mm for the most part. Isn't S16 only the equivalent of between 2k and 3k resolution?

In general, I wonder if there's any benefit resolution wise, maybe for grading and film damage restoration purposes but surely not for resolution.

Better than the HI 8 video to 4K of 28 Days Later - which will never happen. It'll go on pre order forever and then be cancelled :rofl:
