Dan Mindel

Consecutively shot seven sequel films, almost all for separate franchises: Star Trek: En la oscuridad (2013), The Amazing Spider-Man 2: El poder de Electro (2014), Star Wars: El despertar de la Fuerza (2015), Zoolander No. 2 (2016), The Cloverfield Paradox (2018), Pacific Rim: Insurrección (2018) and Star Wars: El ascenso 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 Vértigo (De entre los muertos) (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.
