Is Hollywood relying too much on Blockbusters? Should they go back and also do mid-tier films? Spielberg and George Lucas sure think so!

[Steven Spielberg] "A big meltdown," saying that it would only take a few high-profile flops to make the current model – specializing in expensive, effects-driven spectacles that draw massive worldwide returns – collapse. "There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm."

Lol I doubt that.

For those of you for which Super35 imagers are not enough to give you the highest quality and look, ARRI are once again raising the bar in absolute image quality in digital cinema acquisition with their new ALEXA 65 – a 6.5K digital cinema camera with a sensor equivalent to 65mm 5-perf film. The 65mm/70mm film format was used on epic classic Hollywood films such as Cleopatra, Patton, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lawrence of Arabia and many others.

Up until now, the 65mm look could be achieved only by shooting film, something the like of Tarantino and Nolan have been clinging on like there’s no tomorrow, but now ARRI is once again bringing a digital equivalent to film, giving yet another reason to DP’s worldwide to salivate over specs and new creative possibilities.

Well at least we're moving away from the standard 2K cameras. Wonder if this will make Nolan and Tarantino reconsider shooting on digital?

The standard is 4k and has been for numerous years now.
