Christopher Nolan Remastering Dark Knight Trilogy for 4K
Christopher Nolan is remastering his past films - such as the Dark Knight trilogy - in 4K.
In an interview with BadTaste.It, which you can view here, Nolan revealed he's personally involved in the 4K remastering process of his films.
The filmmaker is excited about the remasters particularly because, according to Nolan, 4K is currently the best way to get the home video audience closer to the 6K resolution his films were shot on.
"So as home video formats keep evolving, 4K — particularly 4K with HDR, it allows us to give somebody at home an experience that’s much much closer to what it was like to see the original film prints as projected on film," said Nolan.

Spidey Producer on If Miles Morales Will Appear in the MCU
WARNING: This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS about Spider-Man: Homecoming. If you haven't seen the wall-crawler's new movie yet then bookmark this page, go see the movie, and come back and read this interview with the producers!
I recently chatted with Spider-Man: Homecoming producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal about the Marvel-Sony movie, during which time we spoke on the record about some of the biggest moments and spoilers in the movie.
Donald Glover plays criminal Aaron Davis in the movie. In the Marvel comics, Davis's alter ego is the Prowler, who is also the uncle of the second Spider-Man, Miles Morales. In the movie, Davis does mention having a nephew so I asked Feige if there was a real chance of fans seeing Miles on the big screen in the future.
