Dan Mindel

Consecutively shot seven sequel films, almost all for separate franchises: Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), The Amazing Spider-Man : Le Destin d'un héros (2014), Star Wars : Épisode VII - Le Réveil de la Force (2015), Zoolander No. 2 (2016), The Cloverfield Paradox (2018), Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018) and Star Wars: L'Ascension de Skywalker (2019).

I think the film medium is irreplaceable. The rendition of film is so good and the quality is so high, especially when you use large format. That is something we won't be able to do with HD for years. I was watching Sueurs froides (1958) yesterday, which was a VistaVision movie. My god, the quality! You could project that on the wide of the Queen Mary and it's going to look good. I think some filmmakers - Christopher Nolan is one - understand this.
