Jarin Blaschke Share Posted February 16 On 1/18/2021 at 2:32 AM, Manu Delpech said: Film will be just fine. Killers of The Flower Moon is starting next month for a seven month shoot, David O.Russell's next one is shooting right now (probably on film). Paul Thomas Anderson shot his latest film a few months ago on 35mm as always. Patty Jenkins only shoots on film and she's got three huge films lined up: Rogue Squadron, Wonder Woman 3 and Cleopatra. I'm guessing/hoping that Indy 5 (directed by James Mangold) will be film too. No Time To Die is releasing (probably pushed back to Fall 2021), A Quiet Place Part 2 as well (film), Shyamalan's Old (he actually paid the extra himself to go back to film on this one), Death On The Nile, Last Night in Soho, Mission Impossible 7, The French Dispatch, West Side Story and so on. There are also obviously other films shooting that we don't know of, then all the directors currently shooting on film are going to continue to shoot on film. *cough* "The Northman *cough, cough...* : ) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Rizzo Share Posted February 16 Not sure if anyone heard about this yet, Columbia Collage in Chicago which is one on the top schools for Motion Picture Film Courses is phasing out film and going totally digital, not only that but word from the camera cage is hat all of the film camera s are to be junked. here is a excellent podcast from last week in response to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gOGQeCkS7U&fbclid=IwAR3qm-JYQhsLr-5ry3e2bq3K6-HDi5JtLS9sXfwpPgmceR88ddElWVrKCQg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm shooting a commercial on 35mm in a couple weeks, of all things... There is an unprecedented rise in 65mm production as well. Maybe it's just getting more stratified and we could lose a film technician pool to feed the upper end, but for now there is a different film situation than 5 years ago.

Yep, this has been talked about for a while. I have some friends who went there JUST for the "film" program and they are heartbroken. I believe they were one of the last programs to have 35mm cameras. The reasoning behind it is simply budget cuts. They don't want to have a tech to support film cameras anymore. We all know how difficult it is to maintain a fleet, you can't just put them back on the self after use. I hope someone will step in and figure out a way to keep it going. Learning film is not only a very important part of history but also a skillset that is desirable on set. https://www.change.org/p/columbia-college-chicago-save-film-at-columbia-college-chicago Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manu Delpech Share Posted February 18 Yeah, I assumed that was the case earlier, no idea why considering McQuarrie clearly prefers film. Logistically simpler considering they"re shooting all over the globe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was more logistics than anything else. We'll find out during an interview at some point in the near future I bet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are running this time but with reduced capacity, as far as I know. There was a leaked phone recording from the Mission Impossible set where Tom Cruise is yelling at crew for breaking Covid rules. He talks about being on the phone to insurers every night to prevent a shut down. Stressful times. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tyler Purcell Sustaining Member Share Posted February 19 FYI, Kodak has not changed their price list for 2021 on OCN. They have raised their prices slightly on print film however. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
