I'm really curious to see that footage projected. Apparently the preview went splat. I'm sure they'll be massaging it from now til Christmas.

It really is a shame, the rush to move the industry completely to digital. Without getting into the technical end of things, digital is simply not as versatile as film. But it's cheaper and faster and creates an easier workflow (in theory; constantly changing formats lead to all sorts of technical problems in post-production). I suppose they'll get there eventually, but will audiences become conditioned to this cheapened aesthetic in the meantime?
