collider.com/star-wars-episode-viii-will-be-shot-on-film-rian-johnson-considered-65mm/STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII Will Be Shot on Film; Rian Johnson Considered 65mmFilm stock is currently an endangered species, with only a select few filmmakers left with the clout necessary to insist on shooting film versus digital. Both mediums have their pros and cons, but the prospect of film disappearing—because digital is so much cheaper from a studio standpoint—was a worrisome one. J.J. Abrams is one of the filmmakers leading the charge to keep film alive, and fans rejoiced when he opted to shoot Star Wars: The Force Awakens on 35mm, using IMAX film stock for certain sequences. But Abrams is one man, and so far he’s only set to direct one Star Wars movie. Was Disney really going to let the Star Wars franchise continue shooting on film, or would they go the Marvel route an implement a digital-only mandate? Surprisingly it’s the former, as Star Wars: Episode VIII director Rian Johnson not only confirmed (via BMD) that he’ll be using 35mm, but that he also considered shooting on 65mm. This is encouraging news, and I take it to mean that the new “Episode” installments will maintain consistency by shooting on film stock. I also hope this means that Gareth Edwards’ anthology pic Rogue One will be utilizing film as well. If there’s any disappointment from this news, it’s that Johnson initially wanted to use 65mm cameras. Quentin Tarantino is planning the largest exhibition of 70mm projection in years with the release of The Hateful Eight this fall, and rumors are swirling that Paul Thomas Anderson is considering going back to 65mm for his next film. When done correctly, in the hands of a master like David Fincher, digital can be beautiful, but more often than not it leads to laziness and cheap-looking images. It’s nice to know that Star Wars—one of the biggest franchises on the planet—will be doing its part to keep film alive.

Yeah, my dad still tells me to this day about how amazing it was in 1977 when he first saw Star Wars on Blu-Ray.

Wow! What a surprise!! I actually know him for a long time. I remember that he play for Star Wars 5 & 6. He rescued Han Solo at Jabba the Hutt, but Han was in the frozen carbon after the bounty hunter who took him. |

There won't be a Star Wars movie on the 40th anniversary of the original film. Disney has moved Episode 8 from May 2017 to December 2017.

Now how is this gonna work when Avatar sequels come. They should have put a spin off star wars flick in its place for Pirates unless is like the first 2 is not gonna be a good May replacement.

They will have 40 years anniversary. We will see what happens. I'm ok with this. We can wait 7 more months for a better product. My boy Rian Johnson is gonna deliver. Yes, it should be just fine. We can wait for next 7 months. A new release date is on December 15, 2017. The Avatar sequels don't officially have a release date. No, they don't have a official movie release date yet. But not yet. |

The Avatar sequels will be scheduled for 2017 before they're scheduled for 2019 before they're scheduled for 2022 before they're scheduled for 2039.

I seriously doubt the Avatar sequels will have even half the impact the first Avatar had. Even though the first one was SLIGHTLY entertaining, NO ONE ever talks about it. It's been far too long since the first one, which was a 3D novelty film to say the least, which is the only reason it made as much as it did. Anyways, a film hasn't truly its mark until it has a Lego game based off of it. It's like the equivalent of getting a star on Hollywood Boulevard.

The Avatar sequels are taking so long that people who were born in 2009 will be in middle school by the time they're released. In a way, it'll be NEW to them. The same happened with Terminator 2. I can guarantee you that none of us knew what the heck Terminator was before Terminator 2 was released. As far as we were concerned, that was Terminator 1 and everything about it was mindblowing. That's the genius about James Cameron that no one talks about. He under-saturates. By the time the Avatar sequels are released, 6 Star Wars movies would have been released. You think people are still gonna be that excited for Star Wars, the way they are now? Of course not. So Avatar will seem "fresh" and a change of pace.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I never said it wouldn't make money, I'm saying it won't make half the impact the first one did. It will come and it will go, but it won't break a billion. Maybe we weren't talking about Terminator when we were younger until T2, but the first Terminator was never the top worldwide grossing movie of all time, was it? With that kind of legacy behind it, you think that it would be a brand that comes up in conversations, good or bad. No one fondly remembers the first time they saw Avatar, or camping out to see Avatar, or even honors it with fan fiction (honestly, that I know of). And sure, it doesn't have the marketing muscle of Disney behind it to cross-merchandise it with everything out there, but the Avatar sequels will be to Avatar what the Godfather III was to Godfather I & II, and that's giving it more credit than it deserves. Of course, I could be wrong, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. |

I'm saying it won't make half the impact the first one did. I think it will for the reason I stated. Avatar will be introduced to a whole new audience. They'll eat it up. It depends on your age group. For almost everyone whose 25 to 30, Terminator 2 was our introduction to the Terminator. For that kid who was born in 2009, whose 5 or 6 right now, they don't know what Avatar is. They've never seen it. They've never heard of it. So imagine it's 2019 and they see the trailer to Avatar 2. They're gonna have the same reaction we had in 2009. Everything we experienced in 2009, they'll experience in 2019. That's how the movie will make movie. He's selling the same product, but to completely different people. Look at Star Wars. What are the biggest moneymaking Star Wars movies? Star Wars in 1977. The Phantom Menace in 1999. And Force Awakens in 2015. What's the pattern? New audiences. |
