That is totally wrong. Being in Professional cinema business for more than 16 years I can tell you that that statement is so not correct. Getting down to basics.

35mm film negative has a far superior resolution than any 2k or 4K production. 2K production is what Blue Ray DVD is now offering. Standard DVD was offering a resolution which was about an 8th or even a tenths of what the original film negative was being produced. Blue Ray titles, take the original film negative and downcovert it to 2K resolution which is what Blue Ray offers and what actually todays' D-Cinema is offering. The statement that original DVD titles are upconverted to Blue Ray is totally wrong. The standard DVD resolution can not have the definition seen in the Blue Ray titles. Tell you what. Take a composite signal and upconvert it to Component. What would be the difference? Nothing. So taking a standard DVD and convert it to Blue Ray there will be no difference so what is the point of actually making this new High-Def format anyway.

Films today are either being filmed on 35mm and usually using 2K Digital technology to incorporate CGI effects e.t.c. All Digital Animation is 2K resolution. 4K is in the making steps for it to appear in professional cinema but I doubt we will seen it anytime soon in Home Theater applications. In any case, most producers who shoot Digitaly their films are filming in 2K resolution so either watching them in Digital Cinemas or standard theaters with 35mm projectors will not see a difference.
