70mm prints of "The Master"(2012) with Philip Seymour Hoffman were released to selected theatres that still have the 35mm/70mm projectors. This was probably the first 70mm movie to be released since "Titanic". Never really heard any chatter about this at the time. It was filmed in a process called Panavision System 65; it is suppose to be an improved version of Super Panavision 70.

I haven't seen the movie yet but according to the IMDB only some scenes were filmed on 65mm negative. The listed aspect ratio is the standard 1.85 to 1.

Well that's all. Go about your business.

The new James Bond film will be shot on film. This is a surprise as Skyfall was the 1st to be shot digitally.

There is still a lot shot on film. What is surprising is that shooting big budget movies on 16mm negative is not uncommon. Usually Super 16 which exposes a wider portion of the film.

Found this:

"The Master" was shot with a Panaflex System 65 Studio Camera. It was framed for 1.85:1. 80% of the finished film is in 65mm. The remaining 20% is shot in standard 35mm. The reason for using both film formats was a creative choice.

I saw it at the Arclight in Hollywood and it looked beautiful. Great theater too.

BTW-Titanic was released in 70mm but shot super 35mm.

I wish Nolan would shoot his films on 65mm, not Imax. I saw Intersteller and it looked fabulous but I felt it needed to be wider, especially for the subject matter. QT is shooting The Hateful 8 entirely in 65mm.

In the current edition of American Cinematograher Kodak have a lavish 10 page color insert extolling the virtue of film, so they are far from giving up to digital.

I am happy to hear that there are still real cinemas in the US.

Dominique, not really. Only Interstellar is currently showing in film, and you'll be hard pressed to find any theater with film otherwise. And even that didn't go so well in many of the advertized film venues because of incompetent projectionists or formerly abandoned equipment damaging the prints or breaking down.
