It is actually a welcome change back to film as I haven't shot a feature on sprockets since 2004 in China on 'Waiting Alone', which feels like aeons ago. We will be using Arricams with my Cooke Lenses, and I will be doing some low-light force processing tests with 500ASA stock shortly.

Beneath Hill 60 to shoot on 35mm
After much discussion we have decided to shoot the WW1 tunneling epic on film instead of the digital options, namely RED and Sony's F35. Naturally there was some impact on the budget but because of the nature of the picture with so much low-light material in tunnels and difficult conditions likely, 35mm could be relied upon to give us the best image in our circumstances.

How many stops can you push it Toby?
I pushed it 1 stop to 1000ASA, and then rated my meter at 800ASA. The increase in grain was really quite minimal. Most of the time the lens was wide open at T2. Pushing 2 stops increased the grain more for no real benefit in exposure.
I'll assume that means f/2 and ISO 1000 so I can see that ought to be enough for all but the lowest light. Of course your DoF would be very narrow but I guess you like that for movies.
