Faced with the possible extinction of the material that made Hollywood famous, a coalition of studios is close to a deal to keep Eastman Kodak Co. KODK -0.04% in the business of producing movie film.

Thanks, interesting to see some concrete numbers (from about 12 billion feet in 2006 down to a bit less than 500 million feet today).
I tend not to like Tarantino's films too much, but good to hear he is such a staunch advocate for film...

In my perfect world- they'd respool some in 35mm cassettes and offer proper ECN 2 for us stills users to help out

GarageBoy - isn't that what they do with Cinestill (Lomography)?
EDIT: Sorry, it's called Cine200, Kodak film with the remjet layer removed.

Reservoir Dogs was his best. Everything else is trying way too hard.

OK I'm not going to divert too much away from a very interesting story, but Tarantino's films are all certainly consistent in tone and theme. His recent films are great instructionals in pacing, dialogue, dramatic tension and so much more...seriously, could anyone have watched Christoph Waltz's 'pipe' scene in "Inglorious Basterds" and not been on the edge of their seats?

Not too many Hollywood directors nowadays who would be that patient and take that much of a chance on a big blockbuster.
It's a great thing that a heavyweight like that is rallying to save film...fantastic news.

Are Kodak's 35mm film for still cameras also made in Rochester? If so an exit from motion picture film would probably kill off their other film products I would think.

Breaking Bad, which I think is (was) visually stunning, especially its desert scenes, was all shot on film.
