End of an era for Serenity: 35mm prints have been retired for U.S. screenings.
This is expected to have minor impact on CSTS screenings since the majority of last year's events were already using digital copies and CSTS has been anticipating the change.

I suppose this was an inevitability, but it's still weird to contemplate.

Though as a cinephile I have mixed feelings about the digital revolution, there's no doubt it has an enormous upside in terms of consistency and money savings for the studios, it's probably even got some green pluses. Nevertheless, I'm pretty angry that the studios are apparently completely stopping the manufacture of 35mm (and 70mm!) prints, particularly for films that were (and still are) being made that way. There should at least be a token number of prints manufactured, IMO.

There are film libraries preserving and restoring old movies. One of them should be given a copy of the Serenity negative.
