The Playlist is reporting that Kodak has now added the ability to process 65mm film at their facility in the U.K. In the report, it also notes that one of the projects listed by Kodak to use their 65mm film is indeed Star Wars Episode IX.
That is what makes shooting on 65mm so desirable for filmmakers and why it is good news for Star Wars fans that director Colin Trevorrow will be shooting Star Wars Episode IX this way.
That said, 65mm film will be a huge upgrade once Star Wars Episode IX rolls around.
J.J. Abrams decided to shoot Star Wars: The Force Awakens on 35mm film and Rian Johnson did the same for Star Wars 9, so shooting on film is a trend for the new Disney Star Wars movies.
