I'm glad it's getting a new physical release but is there really a lot of point to remastering Anchorman in 4k ultra HD? It's not like it has a lot of amazing visual effects or anything. Will it be funnier in 4k somehow?

We'll get to see Christina Applegate in UHD.

It's an optical illusion.

I worked in local TV news for a decade and this was much more realistic than I expected. Not sure what benefit 4K brings over HD, other than a resolution preference.

Having worked around the time of news transitioning from SD to HD, more resolution wasn’t always better for anchors. I remember one saying she started using less makeup because it looked too thick and fake in HD.

Does it include the second film made from all the offcuts. I remember that being rather rubbish.
