'I'm really keen for digital projection to come and take over. The way we screen movies, this technology we've been using for over 100 years, has got to change. The consistencies of projection, the limits on the screen, the quality of projectors all around the world - if you can standardize that in a digital way it would be fantastic. People all around the world would see what we wanted them to see. I think we will shoot negative for a while longer. I've played with HD, and I'm a few years away from totally embracing it. The flexibility of shooting a negative and going to a DI suite means there's a few years left of that. If they can get digital projection working and keep the subtleties, it's going to be fantastic.'
