The LA Times reports on how much longer we will be watching traditional film. Here's an excerpt:

Now that "Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones" has arrived with all its digital hype (the first major motion picture shot with digital cameras and the first to be digitally projected in nearly 100 theaters worldwide, including eight around town), the real battle begins for cinema supremacy.

But does this really mark the death of film?

It all depends on whom you talk to, of course, but it appears that we're in for a long coexistence, since most cinematographers are not about to abandon shooting on film and digital projection is still in its infancy. (The studios only recently formed a coalition, renamed NDC, or New Digital Cinema, to standardize the technology.) "It is just a footnote and not the watershed I had hoped for," remarks "Clones" producer Rick McCallum, who was counting on a few hundred digital installments. But he adds: "The great thing now is that the [antidigital] structure is breaking down and we're on a juggernaut."
