Three Kings was shot on this :

 

KODAK EPP Ektachrome 35mm Reversal/Slide film:

The DP, Newton thomas sigel had kodak make custom rolls for the movie. He then crossprocessed the film in negative (C-41/ECN-2 ) chemistry.

 

The link above is a 100ft bulk load of film. It working in 35mm motion picture cameras that DO NOT have registration pins.

Only the middle section of "Three Kings" was shot on cross-processed Ektachrome slide film (what later became released as 5285 but now is perfed and edge-coded for motion picture work).

 

The first section was shot on 500T 5296 with a bleach-bypass process.

 

"Schindler's List" used both Plus-X and Double-X b&w neg, just a lot more of the Double-X.

You can get anything from Kodak, regardless of who you are, as long as you buy at least 10-100 thousand feet. That isn't that unreasonable for a production with a decent budget, but be prepared to pay a premium.

 

I'd love to see a movie shot on K-64 or E100G processed regularly. Both of these films have great looks to them.

Sorry David, you're wrong. The film stock use was EPP . 100VS is the same as 5285. EPP doesn't crossprocess the same as 100VS. There's an article about the movie in American Cimeatographer.

It's in one of the fall 1999 issues. I have it somewhere around here.
