I was sure I'd seen a clip of this in 2.35:1 at some point when I was looking at new TVs last year, and one of them w as showing this film.
BTW, while IMDB says 1.85:1, there's something else I'd like to ask. When a film format says 2K, does that mean twice usual HD resolution? I ask because 4K is quoted as being four times usual HD resolution, so that may sound like I've answered my own question, but is 2K really enough for a big cinema screen?
Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format)
All that said, ITV's transfer looks slightly less at 16:9, but on my plasma TV, in both HD and SD there's a very slight border all the way round. Less than the difference you'd get between 16:9 and 1.85:1, if you were just looking at the top and bottom, for example, but a slight windowboxing, nonetheless.
BTW, does anyone know if ITV HD on Sky has films in DD5.1? I know they don't on Freeview.
Same question for C5 HD (although I know there's no Freeview option for that HD channel)
