wasnt lucas using hi-def digital as well ? especially created for him ?
If it's cheaper to do and can look as good - you're damn right it will be a new trend .. It will be a new standard.
Celluloid will be replaced some day before long.
I dont know what the process is .. are the films converted to celluliod for projection at the theatres ?
either way .. if there is a cheaper method that has been developed to rival film then it will be done.
Its probably handier for post production too as I imagine there is more flexibility for mixing and effects ?
(i dont know because i'm not a filmmaker - i'm just guessing)
at any rate i like the idea if the resulting medium is smaller and hardier and there is no loss to the quality.
