Il nuovo film di Woody Allen, ancora senza titolo, interpretato da Blake Lively, Parker Posey, Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeannie Berlin, Corey Stoll, Anna Camp, Paul Schneider e Steve Carell si girerà la prossima estate per la prima volta in digitale.
E sarà, come già anticipato, Vittorio Storaro il direttore della fotografia.
Per entrambi è un debutto nel mondo digitale: la Sony metterà a disposizione le CineAlfa 65, capaci di registrare in 4K a 16 bit di colore nel formato 2:1, prediletto dal maestro italiano.
Secondo quanto affermato da Allen, il digitale è una scelta inevitabile che lo aiuterà a montare molto più velocemente: “Digital looks very good to me if it’s done well. Film always looks great if it’s done well. I’ve never shot anything in digital, but I think I will shoot my next film digitally to see what that’s like. It is more than the wave of the future; it’s the wave of the present, really.
Digital is really not cheaper and it’s not faster. It’s just that that’s the way everything has moved and it looks pretty. I see digital shot by good cameramen that is beautiful and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, so I don’t mind it. I like that I can edit fast. You just punch electronics where it used to be you’d cut and then have to splice it and tape it and then look at it and un-tape it. Now, it’s bang, bang, bang, bang, bang and it’s done.”
Per Storaro invece: “I had seen that the Sony F65 was capable of recording beautiful images in 4K and 16 bit-color depth in 1:2, which is my favorite composition. So when Woody called me this year asking me to be the cinematographer of his new film with the working title ‘WASP 2015,’ my decision was already made. I convinced him to record the film in digital, so we can begin our journey together in the digital world.”
