New Star Wars to be shot on Kodak film

[Griffin]

It's old news, you've probably heard it before, but I'm excited about it. To quote JJ Abrams:

"If film were to go away – and digital is challenging it – then the standard for the highest, best quality would go away."

I also read somewhere they'll be using miniatures rather than CG. I wonder if they'll screw it up again?

This is news to me.
Looks like they picked the right director for the movie.

It makes me looking forward to it a bit more now...

But you'll be seeing it in theaters from a digital copy and a digital projector. As of this year, films are no longer distributed in cans the "old way." It's all digital distribution and projection now.

Yep...film is dead in the "film" industry.

Yep.... read about this about a month ago... I say it's a great way to shoot this. Film has a look to it that digital can't duplicate.

Just my opinion but

If you use digital you are a video maker, not a film maker.

Please change "film industry" to "video industry"

No way. A new Star Wars movie will be 3D.

Better not be!

Peace

It matters not.
Digital technology is *very* good at replicating things.
If the film is shot on film, and if the director / producers / editors intended for it to look like how it was captured on film, digital reproduction and cinema projectors can faithfully deliver it.

We will be seeing a different look than the 3 prequels.
