I read this headline and thought film isn't dead, yet.
Then I read deeper into the article and it turns out the new lab will replace the much larger Technicolor lab at Universal Studios that is shutting down in June. About 100 of the 360 workers laid off will be re-hired at the new lab. Yikes. No matter how they word it that still means 260 people will be out of a job.
The new lab will focus (pun intended?) on 70mm prints which are still in high demand thanks to IMAX.
Film isn't dead but it gets closer each day...
