I don't think you can get 28K out of a 35mm film AFAIK, somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Harmy,
We have sent you some sample 4k frames from the LPP. This should give you enough to test a short clip and see if there is a difference from the 1080p version.

Yet more pointless formats:

========================================================

Fox Home Entertainment is releasing its first titles in Ultra HD resolution with high dynamic range (HDR): Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Maze Runner, Life of Pi and Exodus: Gods and Kings.
Additional UHD with HDR titles are expected to follow in the coming weeks. The initiative is led by Fox Home Entertainment and the Fox Innovation Lab, which has been experimenting with UHD with HDR mastering.
As previously reported in The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century Fox recently decided to make versions of all of its new and recent movies in UHD with HDR, the biggest commitment to date on the content side.
The new titles are part of a beta launch, through which consumers can purchase these movies on M-GO and download them to their Samsung Video Pack, for viewing on Samsung SUHDTVs, which support UHD and HDR. (Fox previously supplied clips from Pi and Exodus for Samsung demonstrations).
Fox intends to support additional HDR formats as the hardware enters the market. For instance, Ultra HD Blu-ray players are expected in the market during Q4, and Fox is also planning to support this format at launch.
High dynamic range — meaning a wider range between the whitest whites and blackest blacks in an image — is viewed by many Hollywood tech leaders as the key feature that will create a more noticeable picture advancement for viewers, certainly compared with Ultra HD resolution alone. But while many tech industry leaders are in agreement on taking an HDR path, the challenge is how to implement it while sidestepping a potential format war.
Efforts are underway to standardize HDR. Among them, studio and manufacturer coalition UHD Alliance — which is led by Fox CTO Hanno Basse — is working to create an agreed-upon, consistent and interoperable HDR quality specification for home entertainment.
Forgive the crudeness of the model:
VHS - 1980s
DVD - 2000s
BD - 2006
UHD BD - 2015

There's going to be a point where consumers get sick and tired re-buying all their movies again. There has to be some fatigue there.
Betamax - 1975
VHS - 1976
Laserdisc - 1978
Squeeze-LD and MUSE LD - 199x
D-Theater - 2002
Blu-ray/HD DVD - 2006
UHD BD - 2015

I don't see what's pointless about the industry moving toward >8-bit video. Most people can easily distinguish a >8-bit image on a >8-bit display from its corresponding 8-bit reduction. 2K vs. 4K on a 4K display... eh, not so much.
The sRGB gamut is just too small. Hell, NTSC is larger, so we're (finally!) coming full-circle.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.
I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Someone on blu-ray.com pointed out that only maze runner has a 4k di so the other three will be 2k upscales.
Any new format beyond what is currently out, is pointless when it comes to requiring new hardware. Specifications are fine, but since there is hardly any difference to most consumers, the new formats will fail spectacularly, just as most HD formats, such as Bluray have.
You can only re-invent the wheel so often, before people stop caring.

At this point I'd doubt UHD Blu Ray is being targeted toward most consumers anyway. It could quite easily become a niche videophile format like Laserdisc was, with distributors putting out expensive collectors editions and the like.
Also Blu Ray hasn't (and never will) become the mainstream video format of choice, but it hasn't "spectacularly failed" either.

You've left off 16mm, 8mm, and super8mm film, that were also used as consumer formats for popular movies.

Here is a timeline of important dates and formats:
==============================
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_years_in_home_video
And about film
=========
Those who could afford such luxuries could buy a 16 mm or 8 mm film projector and rent or buy home-use prints of some cartoons, short comedies and brief "highlights" reels edited from feature films. In the case of the 16 mm format, most of these were available with an optical soundtrack, and even some entire feature films in 16 mm could be rented or, at a steep price, bought. 8 mm films almost never ran longer than ten minutes, and only a few were available with a magnetic soundtrack late in the life of the format; the rest were silent. The Super 8 film format, introduced in 1965, was marketed for making home movies but it also boosted the popularity of show-at-home films. Eventually, longer and longer edited-down versions of feature films were issued, increasingly with a magnetic soundtrack and in color, but they were quite expensive and served only a small niche market of very dedicated or affluent film lovers.
Blu-ray has failed, because it has not replaced DVD's, or become the primary format for most releases. Digital releases have, and will overtake it.

Sorry, but you're completely wrong. I'm not sure why do you call Bluray a failure, it's not as successful as the previous formats but I definitely wouldn't call it a failure. Formats like HD-DVD or Betamax - those are failures.
Digital releases will never overtake physical releases. It just can't happen. For example take people like me - I have never ever paid for a digital release of anything, and never will. OK, I once bought an mp3 single but that was an exception, I did it only because it was a charity release. If I should pay for something, I want to be able to hold it in my hands, and listen to it / watch it / read it whenever I want and how I want. I never ever will buy some DRM-infected "ones and zeroes" and it doesn't matter if we're talking about music, books, or videos. If the companies stop producing physical releases, I'll stop paying them. And you would be surprise how many people are just like me. Our numbers are too big to be ignored.

It's useful if your goal is to free it from its shackles. There's no BD of Slaughterhouse Five, but there's a VUDU HDX stream and we have a nice guide here on capturing from HDMI. :o)

Betamax was around for decades, even though that was in the shadow of VHS. HD DVD barely lasted two years.

And Team Negative 1, if Jay hasn't talked to you yet, he has spoken about team accounts, and how they should be used around here...

I don't have a problem with team accounts as long as the account is used to post in the team's own topics about their own projects. Using a team account to post your personal opinions in other threads isn't necessary and should be discouraged.
Where were you in '77?
I doubt this applies to individuals pretending to be teams. Not trying to insinuate anything about anyone's team accounts... but not sure Team Dinkins is entirely on the up and up.
If you have any concerns about someone sock puppeting, best to PM a mod.
