[Released] Inside Man (2006) Open Matte

[Hitcher]

A police detective, a bank robber and a high-power broker
enter high-stakes negotiations after the criminal's
brilliant heist spirals into a hostage situation.

Sources:

Starz Open Matte 1080p (main video)
HDTV 400p (logo removal)
BluRay 1080p (DTS audio and AC-3 commentary)
DVD (named chapters)

Workflow:

HDTV was upscaled to 1080p to match the open matte and used when the Starz logo needed removing using a matte.





There were 2 scenes that featured a PSP video game that were filmed only in Cinemascope but were zoomed to fit the height on the open matte so the BluRay was used instead.





The BluRay DTS and AC-3 were added as well the DVD named chapters.
The video was aligned to match the BluRay making it easier to add additional audio tracks.

The Open Matte increases the height without any cutting of the sides.

Is that a real game or a fake animation made for the movie?
If it's real then the PSP is natively 16:9, in theory you could re-create it in PPSSPP rendering at 4k and insert it to match the AR of the movie.

I might have an anamorphic 1080i open matte from French channels TMC or TFX, with maybe a rating logo bottom right and for sure a logo top right. Not sure if it would help for Starz logo removal for a v2 instead of the lower res source you used. I'll check my external hard drives and try to find it if your interested.

Fake game made for the movie, which is why I assumed they made it in Cinemascope.

That would great if you could, it wouldn't take long for me to do a V2.
