My god. I....can't believe it. I'm not here to embarass myself :-S. All I said is that I really loved the quality from digital film. And before a nice conversation can be started about this, someone cuts me off bluntly. On top of that, with the information we have, there IS nothing to confirm just yet. And with the links provided by you to ONLY a forum (not even a blog), in which an ex-cinematographer says this stuff (I have great admiration for Deakins), I can only say that you are equally embarassing yourself (If I didn't make that mistake regarding "Interstellar" being shot digitally, it would have only be you embarassing yourself).
Moreover, I NEVER SAID that I want Bond 24 to be shot digitally. I said, and I quote myself "I hope Hoyte will also use digital camera's." By the way, isn't what "hoping" is what we all do here?? Isn't that the reason this topic exists when there's no news?? So please by a bit more subtle...and don't immediately "ram me down".
I was merely talking about the BluRay-disc's. Suddenly QOS and CR look quite a bit older, resolution-wise. That's what I was talking about. The resolution difference is so remarkable....when comparing Digital with Film. Also watch "Her". Or have a look at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_shot_on_digital_video_prior_to_2015
Again, I'm not pushing myself here. I'm also satisfied if Bond 24 will be shot on film. No worries man.
So... Any news?
I think the resolution still holds up well, film has a resolution that's approximately about 6-8k.
I respectfully disagree there is a huge difference. But recently there has started to be bigger differences, yes.
I just called "Grand Hotel Lienz" :-P. But they said they will be closed entirely from October 26th till November 9th. Kinda weird no? 2 weeks closed? I thought hotels will be open 365 days a year. Especially a 5-star luxury hotel...
I will call them again tomorrow, because the reception there is open from 8:00 AM till 4:00 PM. I am going to ask them this:
By asking it this way, I hope to receive a simple reply like "Yes, we can confirm this. If not and if they say "I am sorry, we can not answer that", then I will jump in and ask "Okay, so when will the production team film then? Does this have anything to do with the two-week closure till November 9th?"
Hoping at this point that the will use digital cameras for Bond 24 is like hoping that an actor other than Daniel Craig will play James Bond in the movie. Once we have actual confirmation, wishes are kind of useless.
You're talking rubbish here. Especially since you provide me, us, with complete bullocks-sources. Unless you have found better proof than just a forumpost from someone we don't even know if it's Deakins, hoping is a lovely practice. And even if it's shot on film, then I like the subject.
Wow,did he look young back then. Funny thing is me (and many,many others) considered him to be quite old looking for a rookie Double Oh then.
Several people have confimed that Bond 24 will be shot on film. I won't bother finding you the links as this is old news and was discussed here weeks if not months ago. If you think I'm a liar or not trustworthy then I guess we have nothing to talk about.
I don't think you are a liar @PanchitoPistoles. Why do you say that :-(?? I do think that such a generic link does not confirm anything at this stage. But I think it's better if I post less in here. The irritation, and subsequent snowball-effect, that many of my posts create, says it all....
Is it possible someone knows for sure the film lab have been booked months in advance for Bond 24 ? Oh yes. They have less and less business, they can't be reactive, you definitely have to book them well in advance : they have to create the daily rushes as soon as the shooting begin - even though on set they use a digital combo - so it's really a matter of being ready at day 1.
Can they switch to digital between the early bookings and the actual production ? Oh yes, and I'm not even sure it will cost any money. It will be a bad blow for the film lab though. But the movie industry is a vampire business, a business where a VFX company can receive an Oscar and then the acceptance speech is about being close to bankruptcy.
And who knows for sure ? Probably no one here ;) Not me, anyway. Bond 24 on film is likely with the available info, but "sure", like in "I'd bet my right hand on it ?" well,... Remember all that was written about Lea Seydoux, a lot of people were sure it was "sure" the rumor was unfounded. But here, for various reasons, it would be an even more spectacular change from the hearsay if they shot on digital, IMO, actually.
About the film vs digital debate, books are still being written about it and still will be for a long time. It's complex and not clear-cut. And well, you have little things like the fact that digital allows to film in low light, and well, then it turns in boys with toys sometimes "Let's do a scene only lit with candles !" "Why ?" "Because we can !" "But it's a blockbuster !?" :)
PS : In a "snowy movie", you have a lot of light :)
Funny and that on the day Nolan's new Batman Superman movie ask Tom Holkenborg (I only know his remake of that Elvis song.).

There is some very intresting there about Hans zimmer, no longer whant to make Batman style music, i heard before he said something simalar about POTC.
I'm now actually listening to Junkie XL/Tom Holkenborg's scores for "Divergent" and "300: Rise Of An Empire". That's pretty damn emotional stuff he composes there. He barely uses orchestras no? Although I hear plenty of strings. It's actually really good. Good export product from my country ;-).
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion from my post, but like I said, he would be eliminating the idea that Bond is not supposed to talk with other men. Nothing more, nothing less.
Anyways, Butterworth's strangely worded quote appears to have people divided on even what it means, so I wouldn't put much stock into what it spells for B24.
Maybe, but I'd rather watch any Bond movie (including the unofficial ones), which I have seen thousands of times, than Inception, which I have seen just once.
If only you put a "it" somewhere between "does" and "better"

That'll do. :)
Strict laws and story rules must be created by the story-teller when dealing with any ideas or concepts outside so-called reality (such as fantasy, otherworldly, sci-fi concepts, magical, spiritual, dream states, or altered states etc.), so to believe Inception does not have its own rules and story logic to support and contain its central concept and themes is not true - and creating such rules takes time, deep thought, and is far harder than telling a story set within so-called everyday life/reality which most of us experience in a very similar way and therefore such laws of logic and reality (as you call them) do not require the viewer to believe in something outside their normal experience. But many stories do need to convince the audience or reader to suspend disbelief in some fashion, as Inception does on a grand scale. Inception explores dream-state in a very unique way. That took a lot of thinking about. Any screenwriter or filmmaker, or anyone else who has played around with trying to turn dream logic (or such like) into a coherent and dramatic narrative, understands that.
As I say, if you don't believe me, give it a try yourself and see how far you get. Every one of us is a storyteller to some degree, so give it a go.
Anyway, back to Bond 24.
Hey, that is very kind of you.
