Is it going to be one of those fucked up AI upscales like "Aliens" and "True Lies"?

Seems unlikely. Friends was shot on 35mm film, so it's simply a matter of scanning the film negatives at 4K.

You'd think so but that's not always the path chosen.

Wasn't the HD remaster full of issues due to switching to wide screen?

And yet, Disney still hasn't put out the Infinity Saga on 4K since that one box set...
