Need some help on making a print/poster (Battlestar Galatica)

Cowboy Bebop

So a friend and I recently got a new place and we won't to get a big print to hang in our living room, both of us really dug this image, obviously we'd need to get a really high res image if we we're going to blow it up to poster/print size. Does anyone know if it's even possible through photoshop or whatever to bump an image to the insane resolution we'd need without any pixilation when it's printed off?

I estimate that a blu-ray screen grab would only come out at about the size of an envelope so that't not really an option, haha.

FYI, I'm pretty sure no printshop is going to do this for you as it's copyrighted material.

Without the magic impossible software they use on CSI it's just not possible to enlarge a photo and not get some pixelation.

To get the least amount you would want to just double both axises of it so that each pixel becomes 4,and then repeat till it is large enough. But there's only so far you can go with that before each pixel begins to look too large.

You could try something like Rasterbator and print it yourself onto multiple pages, if you very carefully cut and assemble it, it might look ok.

Rasterbator seems like the way forward, thanks for the help Foomy.

Or, if either of you is artistically inclined, your could trace the image in Adobe Illustrator, making it into a vector painting (getting as fancy as you like with brush strokes, colors, shading, etc). Then, you could scale it as large as you like without distortion and could probably get it printed, since it is an interpretation of the image, not an exact copy.

You could always make due with the painting that's hanging behind them.
