Shot anamorphically on mostly 35mm with Panavision Panaflex cameras and lenses, the film has been given a brand new 4K digital intermediate of its new restoration which is what has been used for this release. It houses a native 3840 x 2160p resolution image in a slightly reduced 2.35:1 aspect ratio (notes state that theatrically it was released with a 2.39:1 ratio) that also utilises 10-bit video depth, WCG and HDR10 grading (no Dolby Vision), all of which has been encoded using the HEVC/H.265 video codec.
