Yes. Director Todd Phillips originally wanted to shoot the film on analog stock, ideally even 70mm. After testing Arri's large-format digital cameras, however, cinematographer Lawrence Sher convinced him to use the Arri Alexa 65, whose massive sensor can capture up to 6.5k footage. Raw capture settled at 5.1k, supplemented by 3.4k and 4.5k shots from the Arri Alexa Mini and LF. Everything was downsampled to a native 4k Digital Intermediate, meaning the 4k Ultra HD Blu-ray draws directly from a native 4k master. Alongside superior HEVC compression, this yields noticeably finer detail and sharpness, further elevated by Dolby Vision, HDR10, and WCG luminance and color expansion — outclassing both standard Blu-ray and conventional theatrical projection.
