Yet he recognizes that the digital revolution is changing the way we watch movies. He talked with TIME's Desa Philadelphia:

On why he doesn't shoot in digital:

I'm too nostalgic to make my movies digitally. I'm the last person in Hollywood who cuts his film on film. I still love cutting on film. The greatest films ever made in our history were cut on film and I'm tenaciously hanging on to the process. I just love going into an editing room and smelling the photochemistry and seeing my editor wearing mini-strands of film around his neck. It's a choice. I feel like I should call myself ""handmade productions.""

And why he will eventually:

For me, sadly, it's the inevitable medium. I think that certainly it's right around the corner. Dreamworks certainly recognizes the tens of millions of dollars that will be saved in distribution costs in not having to make five, six, seven thousand 35mm prints, just in the domestic market, for a big event movie. I think someday, when digital technology mainstreams, films will be broadcast to satellites from one transmission depot and then be beamed down into thousands of venues, which will save hundreds of millions of dollars when you combine every studio that releases movies on film, that have to pay those laboratory costs. The industry is looking at this not so much as a way to enhance quality, although it will, but they are looking at it as a way to save money. I may be the last person as a director to accept it, but I certainly will not be the last person to accept it as someone who runs a film company.
