Although we are very much in the digital age of movie-making, it seems J.J. Abrams is continuing resist the changeover from film and will shoot Star Wars: Episode VII on 35mm -- Kodak film stock 5219 to be precise! This was Announced today (via Bobba Fet.com) at a film industry event in Los Angeles, where it was also revealed that Abrams would reteam with his Star Trek/ Mission Impossible 3 cinematographer, Daniel Mindel. Midel was on hand to discuss his work with Abrams, and told an interesting story about the director's penchant for lens flares.

None of this has been officially confirmed just yet, but many reports are coming in from the event so it looks like a sure thing.

I really hope JJ looks at the original trilogy for reference for pacing/character dialogue (not everyone trying to do a bad British accent/cinematography/amount of time a lightsaber is being used/and amount of CGI vs practical effects (models)

And the opening better remain the same. Have the crawl and slowly pan down to a planet or ship.

I like Lens Flares. I think it give Abrams movies sort of his own little signature.

That is right haters, bring it on.

Everyone bitches about Abrams and his lens flares. Why does no one bitch about Spielberg and his obsession for spotlights.

This is very uninspired. Why get the same people from your rival instead of trying to differentiate yourself. This is the reason GOTG will rule. It will be different and fresh

@2Challa He also worked with Abrams on MI3. He's just using one person who he's familiar with.

If he really wanted to bring everyone from Trek, John Williams wouldn't be doing the score.

@Darkmetal George Lucas made one good film, Shyalaman has made two good films, and Schumacher has made one ore two good movies.

Abrams has made four good movies. And that doesn't even count the TV shows, which are pretty fricking great as well.

Abram doesn't know how to film action. He actually doesn't even try.

@darkmetal Maybe it's just me, but I enjoyed Into Darkness more than I did Wrath of Khan.

Super 8 was a beautiful film to me. The dialogue was well written, it was surprisingly well acted (surprising because it was kids) and it had heart. Things that I look for in a movie.

Lucas made a New Hope, and that was the only good movie he made. The other Star Wars movies were directed by someone else.

Honestly I can't put the GI Joe and Transformers, and Lone Ranfer Movies with War of the Worlds, The Mission Impossible Series (minus the second one).


@2Challa I don't see Star Trek and Star Wars the way I see DC and Marvel.

The only thing Star Wars and Star Trek have in common is that they both have 'star' at the beginning of their titles.

I think the biggest news is that Star Wars 4 is being shot on film. Pretty big middle finger to Lucas and his space battles films.

35mm film looks so much better than digital. I hope that if and when the day comes that I become a director, the producer or the studio will let me shoot 35mm anamorphic instead of digital.

I like the JJ Abrams Trek movies, and I have enjoyed most of his past work. To each their own. But in case all the fanboys forgot, when the sequel was announced a large number of people on this very site were posting their desire for JJ to use Kahn as the villain. Personally, I dug his take... aside from Spock screaming "Kaaahhhhnnn!" You can respectfully borrow from the past but you can't out-Shatner Shatner.

Agreed, you can't out-Shatner Shatner.
