New Spiderman movie dumps digital 3D for 35mm.

"This means that the film will be post-converted to 3D, as Webb has said it will definitely be released in 3D."

And that means i'll go see it in 2d and will not waste the extra money or my eyes on post converted 3d.
 
"...film still wins out when money and time is of little concern."

Fixed that for you.

Big budget productions helmed by filmmakers who grew up with film will more than likely still choose to shoot on film regardless of the various production and other benefits that digital provides. This doesn't change the fact that film is dead (or dying, for those of you that are still touchy about the subject).
 
Has it actually been confirmed that the entire film is being shot on 35mm and not just specific sequences? That happens you know.

Why are you trying to rain on the parade?

You're like the people who point out that 0.00239% of "The Avengers" was shot with a Canon DSLR, after a misleading headline makes it look like the entire big-movie-star,box-office-smash,summer-movie-hit film used a camera that costs less than the invoice from craft services for the mid-afternoon snack.

There are stills photographers that still use film. There are sound engineers that still use tapes and produce vinyl. It doesn't mean old tech is better, it means that those people prefer it.
 
Hashtags are a way of tagging your post so that your tweet is a part of a collective conversation. For example, there's a great #postchat that takes place weekly, where filmmakers discuss post-production woes and anecdotes and have a Q&A of sorts. All you have to do is search #postchat to keep up with the dialogue, and add the hashtag to your own tweet to partake in it. They're very useful on Twitter and other social sites that take advantage of them.

Colour me enlightened! I just found this on the #postchat thing and found it flipping hilarious.

It's been many years since digital surpassed the resolution of FF35, to say nothing of S35, film. Epic does it at 96-120fps, depending on aspect ratio.

If these new cameras cost more, were bigger and heavier, required more crew, were more difficult to use, were slower to use, I could understand this argument.

But since they're cheaper, smaller, lighter, faster, and easier....I don't get it. Fear of change?

Current film stocks look spectacular, if you can afford to shoot and process it, I see nothing wrong with making that choice. If I could choose any format to shoot on at the moment - it'd be film.

That maybe because the opportunity to shoot it might not exist for much longer, but that's hardly the only reason you'd choose to shoot motion picture film.
