Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging have been involved with a large number of recent restoration projects, including Blade Runner, The Godfather Trilogy, How The West Was Won, The Red Shoes, A Star Is Born, Doctor Zhivago, to name but a few. Audiowise I don't know, but I imagine they'd do the same as for picture. They probably have a lot of stuff on the go, so they may not have gotten around to your favourite film yet. I'll be happy with seeing Barry Lyndon on Blu-ray at last.

Disclaimer: I don't work for WB MPI, but I do work for one of their suppliers.

I saw it on Saturday at the London IMAX, and to be honest I couldn't tell which scenes were shot in 65mm either.

The American Cinematographer article says:-

The 65mm negative was scanned at 6K at DKP 70mm Inc. under the watchful eye of company president David Keighley. Those 6K files were then turned over to Technicolor in Hollywood, where a team extracted from the 6K data to generate 4K 35mm filmouts that could be combined with the native 35mm footage. Pfister did all of the color timing photochemically at Technicolor, working with longtime collaborator David Orr. In addition to 35mm and digital-cinema presentations, Inception will be released on 70mm Imax in select markets, and DKP 70mm Inc. scanned the 35mm color-timed interpositives to create those prints.

Hmmmm.

The standard 2K 3-perf res (if there is such a thing) is 2048x1156, but as Phil says it depends how much your scanner crops it. I've seen 3-perf come off a Spirit as 2048x1165.

Hi,

Off the top of my head, there's Stanley Productions on Wardour Street, and PEC on Dean Street. I'm sure there are others that I haven't discovered yet.
