Wes Anderson has a new movie coming out in May called Moonrise Kingdom. I read where it was shot using Super 16mm film. It stars Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and Bill Murray. Here is the trailer...

HI Janice

It was shot not to far from me. I tried for a background part in it but couldn't make the shooting day! I was going to be a businessman catching a plane at the airport.Bummer.

The trailer looks great. Bill Murray has been in a number of Wes Anderson's films as well!

Super 16, apparantly, is a great film stock for shooting!

Janice, you're right:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1748122/technical

I saw the trailer at the theater and had no clue it was super 16mm.
BTW, super 16mm is only 16mm with image in the area where the other sprocket area would be if it were regular 16mm. If that makes sense.

...and the sound is recorded separately and synced in post. Which is pretty typical anyway.

So, with super 16, does that mean you are basically getting a letterboxed image, right off of the shot negative, (as it stretches into that area?) Well, youd, certainly have more iamge information, without having to letterbox it, thereby dealing with less grain from the blow-up of the image to letterbox it.

It appears to be very fine grain. I wonder if this can also be due to clean-up of the iamge before the final transfer of the film to digital or film prints being made?

I loved it. The cast is terrific, especially Kara Hayward and Jared Gilman as the young lovers. Nice looking film...glad I caught an actual celluloid showing.

Speaking of Bill Murray,

Years ago I was hired by an entertainment agency in San Diego for a gig on the 4th of July at the Pauma Valley Country Club in Pauma Valley, CA. I did not know what to expect but to my surprise Bill Murray was there with his kids. He has a home there that surrounds the country club. He's an avid golfer. He wore very loud bright colorful shorts with black knee high socks with tennis shoes & wore a pair of these jumbo clown sunglasses and had not shaved for weeks. He ran around the place like a chicken and he's one weird dude! [Cool]
