C. Nolan's Interstellar

[titansupes]

Poni was the one saying it. I only speculated that it could be motivation for him to get involved with the DCU for WB. Get a huge payoff and funnel it directly into Syncopy's growth. Poni said that all of Nolan's money for TDKR went into Syncopy and it was a huge amount ($80+ million upfront plus a percentage of gross).

That's right, I remember that now.

I don't get Nolan on this. There are plenty of reputable filmmakers like Nolan today who are treating digital as much as an art form as film. There's no danger. I'm sure these people know the distinct difference between cinematic digital to an ipad.

I think Nolan's position is that he doesn't want the option to die out because for him it looks better than digital. It's a personal preference and I doubt he has anything against those who prefer digital. It's just that the way the industry is going film and those techniques are being pushed out as an option and that is stifling to filmmaking creativity. It would be like only being allowed to use water color paint and not acrylic because its more expensive and harder to use.

Around 1:40.

There's also another interview where he pretty much says the same thing.

Thanks!

That's right. To him it's simply a matter of film looking better. Just the same as you shouldn't force everyone to make their movies in 3D just because the studios want to charge higher ticket prices, you shouldn't force everyone to use digital just because it's cheaper. There are still musicians who prefer to have their music released in the LP format instead of CD because LP's provide richer sound quality.

Speaking all of this film vs. digital, Sony is allowing Mark Webb to shoot TASM2 in film so there is still hope for the format.

Allah Hi Hoodim, in Indian film they still use traditional cutting film... Hollywood can meet the Bollywood for its filmic lenses and prints and chemical photo processing hupti il-ulyali...

all that aside, other nation use film stock still so hollywood sellers of film stock can sell to these bollywood film makers who create more original films anyways like ZINDA over Old Boy

But will there be enough blue?

I hate the way Soderbergh uses digital but overall I have no problem with it. I do hate 3D though and always will. As long as I'm not forced to see a film in 3D I don't care if it is around.

I have not been a fan of Michael Mann's digital high definition camera style over the last decade.

You forgot Anthony Michael Hall...

My short order would be;

Matthew Broderick
Peter Scolari
John Cusack
Molly Ringwald
David Hasselhoff

David Hasselhoff isn't a good actor though. The washed up 80s actors he worked with were all decent actors.

I could see Nolan using Christian Slater. Slater's career could use a boost.

I wonder if Nolan will go the Mark Strong route eventually..

All succumb to Mark Strong eventually t:

Public Enemies looks crap, but Collateral and especially Miami Vice looks amazing. The latter being one of the most aesthetically gorgeous films released this decade.

Public Enemies looks amazing .

And a lot of people confuse the use of digital with the exposure he chose for that particular film . That's the reason that movie has a very particular (and odd) look.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Thanks for bringing up Mann.

Mann is another director who's digital shooting I'm not fond of, at all. His digital movies look ugly to me but that is not the format's fault.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Public Enemies has some of the worst cinematograhy I've seen in a movie. I don't know what Mann was going for. There were a bunch of shots that literally looked like home movies or shot through a camcorder.

 

[Hurm...]

Collateral is a gorgeous looking film.

 

[dark_b]

Nolan is still pretty adamant about shooting in film. I guess we'll see what happens. I would be very surprised if he goes the digital route after all the campaigning he's done for film.

i think Nolan would have a problem working with someone who likes digital.

Roger Deakins and Nolan would work.

 

[kvz5]

I want Edward Norton in this.

 

[Travesty]

I love Norton.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Collateral is a gorgeous looking film.

I rewatched it yesterday and those Los Angles night scenes look as amazing as they did nine years ago.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Collateral is a gorgeous looking film.

I think that's the difference in terms of look from Collateral and Miami Vice than Public Enemies. I think the Public Enemies was dealing which more low light locations and it probably tripped Mann and his DP up.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I want Edward Norton in this.

He'd probably want to be able to have final say in script.

Don't even remind me. I shudder thinking about it.

Dear god did Sky Fall look gorgeous. It's my favorite looking film of 2012 with The Master coming in a very, very close second.

JGL wouldn't say what he's doing next, but there was a smiling rejection when I mentioned Interstellar, so.....

I hope that's true.

 

[kvz5]

Meh.

I think the main thing about digital and the main advantage over film is that digital works better with artificial light and film works better with natural light, which is why that movie-that-shall-not-be mentioned looks like crap and Skyfall, which really blossomed with artifical light looks beautiful.

But what made Skyfall even better was that it looked beautiful in natural light, thanks to Roger Deakins.
