Red and director James Gunn revealed that
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be the first movie shot on the company's
Weapon 8K digital cinema camera. The original film, which grossed nearly $800 million worldwide, was captured on Arri's Alexa XT camera. While directors like Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan still
demand celluloid film, digital cameras haven't exactly been sitting still. Red's 8K Weapon arguably rivals the resolution of 70mm film, even though the Vista Vision-size sensor is smaller. Arri, meanwhile, recently released the
Alexa 65, a 6K cinema camera with a huge 65mm sensor.
