: I'm just curious since there is such a big push for the DIGIBETA tranfers & having a 35 print struck from that (ala O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU).

OH BROTHER was not struck from a DigiBeta- it was scanned on a Philips Spirit-Datacine at 2K resolution, color corrected in the digital realm, then recorded back out to film. The highest resolution DigiBeta can support is PAL, not 2K.
Incidentally, the above is incredibly expensive- I can't see how there'd be a big push for it, aside from special cases like OH BROTHER where they want to digitally manipulate the colors of the ENTIRE film. It's much cheaper to have the original 35mm negative cut (which is how the Askew movies were done- of course, effects shots are scanned and outputted back to film).
