What film stock ?

[Saba Mazloum]

Hey friends, 

Curious to know what film stock were used for the film Dark city ?

 

Thanks!

Probably Kodak Vision 500T 5279, maybe rated slower for tighter grain. Possibly Kodak Vision 200T 5274 but unlikely given some of the big lighting set-ups though not impossible ("Batman Returns" was all shot of 100T stock on huge sets.)

Thanks! I'm trying to also figure out what kind of film stock was used for the film Delicatessen.

Looks like it might be Kodak 5248:

From the ‘Conversations with Darius Khondji’ book by Jordan Minzter.

From the ‘New Cinematographers’ book by Alexander Ballinger: 

Mr. Khondji also says he flashed the negative with an ARRI Varicon with blue or warm gel, and did a ‘skip bleach-bypass process on the negative without accelerator’ which was 50% of the full process to retain some color information.

Thanks I was going to look up that book to check... so it looks like the other 20% of the movie was shot on 5296 500T.
