There are unconfirmed reports that Warner is also working on The Polar Express, The Departed, Gravity, and The Matrix. We also know that both Gladiator and Braveheart have been mastered for 4K Ultra HD for Paramount. Additional titles I’ve personally seen 4K Ultra HD tests of (in private meetings at CES) include The Godfather and Lawrence of Arabia, but whether they’ve been fully mastered and authored for released yet is unconfirmed.

That’s it for now. Back tomorrow. Stay tuned...
