Emerson Rosenthal put together a list of 10 filmmaking heavyweights that have predicted the future of film for The Creator Project. Keanu Reeves and the following comment that he wrote for The Guardian was included in the article:
“The rise of digital technology has prompted a lot of debate about the ‘death of film.’ If you’d asked me six months ago if we were at that point I’d have said the situation was dire. Fuji announced it was not going to produce commercial stock any more, companies such as Panavision and Arri have stopped making new film cameras…
“But it’s unlikely that film will completely vanish, at least in the near future. I wouldn’t call it a backlash against digital, but there is a significant body of directors still using film for image acquisition. It’s important that they have the tools to make films in the way they want to. I’m certainly much less worried about the fate of celluloid than I was when I started making the documentary [Side by Side].”
