Daniel Mindel who worked with J.J. Abrams on Mission Impossible 3 and Star Trek movies announced that he will shoot Star Wars: Episode 7 on a 35 mm film…

Bobafettfanclub.com reported the announcement which came from an event in the ASC Club House, where the cinematographer discussed his first work with J.J. Abrams and other projects like “Domino”, and “Shanghai Moon”. More specifically the movie will be shot on Kodak film stock 5219.

Now that doesn’t come as a surprise but it could actually point out to something more interesting:

J.J. Abrams also shot Star Trek on 35mm film and one of the reasons was that he wanted to shoot with anamorphic. When you shoot with anamorphic you can’t shoot in 3D. That’s why it is pretty safe to say that Star Wars: Episode 7 will be post converted in 3D, especially after the phenomenal 3D conversion of Star Trek: Into Darkness. And I doubt there is anyone who thinks that Star Wars won’t be in 3D…
