For Billy Lynn, Ang Lee blew past that by projecting the film at 120 frames-per-second in 3D, with 4K clarity versus the typical 2K.
Initially, while discussing with producer Rothman, Lee wanted to try and shoot the film with at least 60 fps at 2K resolution in 3D as he had experimented with 60 fps before his first plan was to shoot the biopic in 60 fps which he said he will after Billy Lynn.
