DEATH KNELL FOR CELLULOID FILM?

George Lucas says he’ll shoot most of the next installment of the “Star Wars” franchise with digital equipment, foregoing celluloid.  “Lucas’s move this month reverberated like the first loud shot in a digital revolution that a growing number of people, both in and outside of Hollywood, believe is now unstoppable. Some insurrectionists are even convinced the cheaper digital cameras will unshackle them from some studio control. Before it’s all over, it could even bring the studio walls tumbling down.” – Boston Globe 05/10/00
