Smith says he’s working closely with a “popular physical media distributor” to get a 4K Steel Book version of Dogma ready for a December release. He says the 4K restoration of the comedy that makes some Catholics cringe looks fantastic, and they didn’t change anything about the original presentation.
My issue is the movie wasn’t shot in 4k, it didn’t exist. How the hell do they make it 4k. You know I want. I want Q&A like he did for Clerks, and Mallrats anniversary editions. Both I have one signed. But not one for Chasing Amy nor Dogma. Where are they?
It was filmed on actual film. No one used digital cameras back then for theatre movies.
I have the blu ray version of the original Twilight Zone and that shit’s crisp as fuck.
The Phantom Menace was released the same year and was quite famously recorded digitally in 1080p. I doubt Dogma did this but it is possible.
The equivalent resolution of film is roughly 6-8k, assuming they’re going from the masters. Easy to transfer it to 4k, which is realistically so high a resolution you aren’t going to be able to see the detail it can deliver at home.
He did a recent q&a for dogma, though I’m not sure if it will be in the package or not. https://youtu.be/uL0eBZajQYo. It was for the 25th anniversary.
I thought he did one for chasing amy too, but that it was only on one specific edition of the dvd. Maybe I’m misremembering, I dunno.
