Kodak is honored to continue supporting Fox and their content creation, distribution and archival needs.” With the signing of this agreement, Kodak has now completed new contracts with six major Hollywood studios in the last year. The company previously announced agreements with Walt Disney Co., Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., NBC Universal Inc., Paramount Pictures Corp. and Sony Pictures. Kodak continues to manufacture billions of linear feet of film every year, and the Entertainment Imaging division continues to be the largest driver of film manufacturing volume for Kodak into the future.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Wood Expert Film Handler Posts: 206 From: Oxfordshire, United kingdom Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-05-2013 02:00 AM                     That's great news for those of us who still prefer the film look for image capture. Wonder how much print stock they're making!?  |  IP: Logged Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 06-05-2013 02:55 AM                     I don't get it. There is also a post here made at almost the same time as this thread called "No more 35mm Tr's" which says that Fox isn't making any more 35mm trailers. ???  |  IP: Logged Jock Blakley Expert Film Handler Posts: 218 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Oct 2011 posted 06-05-2013 04:35 AM                     I'd imagine that these agreements will mainly concern camera negative, selected intermediate, and archival films (such as those used to create separation masters). Stock for trailers and prints on the other hand will almost certainly be wound down to much smaller volumes, even if not entirely discontinued.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 06-05-2013 05:54 AM                     Yep - the message SOUNDS like a great deal, but in fact, it is just another framework agreement on quantities, as they existed before. Only that this will have dramatically scaled down numbers for print materials, and these had been the really big amounts previously. Though this allows for proper production planning, I don't think anyone at Kodak is really happy with the numbers in there. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Brent Francis Film Handler Posts: 84 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Nov 2008 posted 06-10-2013 12:58 PM                        So where is it going to get processed?  |  IP: Logged
