"J.J. Abrams shot the latest Star Wars — ironically one of the first franchises to move away from film — on 65mm film, said Andrew Evenski, president and general manager of Kodak's (KODK) entertainment and commercial films division.
"We've had a lot of success with people coming back to film, mainly because (of) the aesthetics of it," Evenski said. "It's more natural looking."

Encouraging story, and thanks for the link which mentions other recent big-budget films shot on Kodak film. It would be great if base demand from the film industry can keep consumer film prices reasonable into the future.

Apparently Tarantino's The Hateful Eight is the first movie shot and screened in 70mm Ultra Panavision since Khartoum in 1966.

My M5s need red dots!
I recall that the second trilogy was shot in digital... or not? At least part of it was.

I remember reading somewhere that the full-size Ultra Pana projection reels were ~350 pounds each...too bad I don't live near any of the designated 70mm theaters. Would love to see that in full glory.

There is no second trilogy if you are referring to star wars.

I wonder if anyone (else, that is) remembers a second feature film offered free once you paid for the ticket to the original late-night SW opening. Bonus points if you stayed and actually watched the freebie, however awful.

Not to get all geeky, but of course there is.
1st trilogy - the original trilogy from 1977-1983
2nd trilogy - aka the prequel trilogy from 1999-2005

Yes, it looks beautiful, and I saw it in Rochester whence the film was manufactured.
But ... I can't (yet) say it was "terrific" ... good, very good, but not excellent. I reserve the right to revise my opinion upon subsequent viewings.
I thought Carrie Fisher's role was compromised by the lines she was given, and she couldn't work miracles.
OK, an actual review of the film is OT ... I love the fact that the film stock was manufactured right here in ROCHESTER! :angel:

I saw it on the 26th Imax+3D, and I liked it a lot, but my eleven year old grandson pronounced it "the best movie ever made!" (He's never seen North Dallas Forty...)
