Warner Brothers has revealed that they will begin re-mastering some titles from their large catalog for high definition releases. The first titles selected for the 4k re-master (where the film will be scanned to a resolution of 4,000 lines) are 'Blade Runner', 'Bonnie and Clyde', 'Cool Hand Luke', and two films from the Dirty Harry series, 'Magnum Force' and 'Sudden Impact'.
It has already been revealed that Blade Runner will be released on Blu-ray later this year in its definitive form, so we expect these other titles to make their way into blue cases soon as well. The re-mastering process will better preserve the original film image in digital form, though the Blu-ray releases will still be distributed in 1080p form.
