Its not exactly hard to run film through a scanner these days. They may even have film cameras that immediately run the film through a scanner. I don't know, but I doubt its difficult to know that your last shot stunk, film or not. It seemed to work well for a century.

It's stuff like if you're doing a shoot over multiple days being able to view something you shot yesterday to make sure that something isn't out of place. With digital you can view what you're filming on an HD TV, I'm not sure you can do that with a film camera. Having a larger view like that can help spot problems. And as far as film development, it can take a few days to have film get digitized so you don't get the opportunity to review footage until much later. With digital you can immediately review what you just shot. And if you really wanted to, you could even watch what you just shot cut together with stuff that you've previously shot.

I work in advertising, and unfortunately, the ease with which something can be reviewed, and revised if need be, just seems to make people lazy.
People don't seem to pay that much attention to detail and getting it absolutely right the first time around, 'cause you can just "fix" it digitally later on.
It's a shame.
When I look at gorgeous movies like Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur or even later stuff, like The Man Who Fell To Earth or Blade Runner, I just marvel at how cinematographer's just got it right in camera.
Nowadays it's all about "fixing" it digitally.
Look at Excalibur and how beautiful the forests look. That was all in camera.
Now look at the extras in LOTR. The raw footage just looks like crap. Very sad.

Heh, maybe if LOTR was shot digitally the raw footage wouldn't look like crap

It looked awful but I will not blame the digital cameras for that. 48FMS is a whole other topic that hopefully won't become popular with other filmmakers.

Indeed.
48fps looks pretty terrible.

It looks fine to me, but it's clearly not going to catch on--for so many reasons

Agreed, but we're such a long ways before release.
However, I still feel compelled to check in this thread every once in awhile.

One really has to wonder if they're still casting (unless it's a complete rope-a-dope), how the hell they're going to finish this and expect it to be on par with even the prequels in just a little over two years.

Yeah, it always seemed like there were at minimum 3 years for the process, one for approval, one for preproduction and then one for shooting and effects.
