This means there may be a chance KPop Demon Hunters will be released on Blu-ray…fingers crossed.

KPop Demon Hunters is definitely getting released on 4K Blu-ray. Thanks to Criterion for saving it from the Netflix catalogue!

Did they re-render it in 4k? The album cover for the songs is literally a 1080p screencap from the movie upsized with text.

It’s not necessary to re-render the animation in 4K - in fact, the majority of both live action and animated 4K Blu-rays are just 2K upscales. The real benefits come from HDR.

Animation, especially certain styles, upscales quite nicely.

You’re telling me the majority of movies are mastered in 2k right now? I don’t think that’s correct.
Show threadUriel_CopyFeb 23
I would have thought they would render it at something high like 4K in the first place, since it’s easy to downsample to 1080p? Unless, I suppose rendering is expensive and if you know you only need 1080p then maybe you wouldn’t?

Oh no it’s rendered and released in 1080p. It’s so stupid.
