Hollywood to go bankrupt archiving films digitally
And when the entire movie has been digitally created from start to finish (shot on digital or Pixar-style), it costs a whopping $208,000 to keep all the hard drives, discs, and so on in working order and make sure all the data is still intact. What with Hollywood moving towards an all-digital process, this could prove to be very expensive. Maybe they should just let us keep a record in our hearts – that worked for “All Dogs Go To Heaven.”
