Star Wars: Episode IX will be shot on film, not digital

Glad to hear. :)

Why are they making a big deal that he's shooting the movie on film?

Audiences can't tell the difference? Then why did the Film projection theaters overperform with an extra 5% overall box-office as opposed to the digital ones? Why did Interstellar overperform with Film projection theaters as opposed to the digital ones?

Also, shooting on Film is "ego"? Um, k. If you have no argument, sound ignorant if you want.

I can tell the difference. I know it's not a big deal, but there IS a difference. Like when I went to go see the Evil Dead remake in theaters, you can obviously tell it was shot digitally. It almost took me out of the movie, because it felt like I was watching the world's biggest television rather than a projector screen.

Most people can tell the difference. The problem is that people nowadays are watching Films projected on digital, which isn't what Film looks like. It's essentially like shooting on 8k and then showing it on a DVD. And even then, it's even worse with Film to digital because you lose part of the analogue color (which isn't "Film grain", btw)

When you show people Film projected, most of them notice a difference. They're not always able to say what it is, but they notice it, nevertheless. There were even two dudes behind me during Hateful Eight who, during the intermission, began talking about how they noticed it looks different than usual, but they couldn't point it out.

Film is what defines movies as being movies. Without it, they're just longer Youtube videos or shorter TV-shows. Digital is nothing more than content. It even looks like a video game, for the most part as well.

Can you tell me a couple of movies that were shot on film in 2015? Because I'm debating with some idiot who is saying that 99% movies were shot on digital last year.

According to Kodak, over 100+ movies were shot exclusively on Film last year, which is a huge increase over the 39 movies that were shot on Film the year before.

For a small list of movies shot on Film in 2015/2014/2016. They even have about 3 TV-shows on there as well.

Steve Jobs was shot on film? The fuck? I thought Danny only shoots in digital now?

It was shot on both (partially.) The beginning is shot on one format, the middle with another and then the last part on yet another format. He used it to portray the difference in time periods and technology being used. 

It's pretty clever, actually.

Oh yeah, I remember now. Don't know why I completely forgot about this? Makes me want to see the film even more now.

It's easy to forget since it's rarely used that way. I kind of forgot about it myself until I looked it up again, lol.

I mean, I can't remember the last time Danny shot on film? He's been using digital since, I don't know, 28 Days Later I'm assuming.

He shot Millions (2004) on Film. He even shot sunshine on 35mm Film as well.

He also used some Film for certain scenes in 127 hours.

Never saw Millions, but I did see 127 Hours and Sunshine before.

I loved 127 hours. 

I still think it's one of my favorite James Franco performances. In fact, I think it's right below his role in Spring Breakers in terms of how memorable it is.

Yeah, I can't wait for Franco's next movie role.
