Paramount Picked Kodak To Handle Digital Preparation And Distribution For ‘Mission: Impossible III’

Add one more superlative to Paramount’s ‘Mission: Impossible: III’: it is the largest digital release ever, playing on more than 170 digital cinema screens throughout North America. And all digital preparation and distribution to those screens was handled by Kodak Digital Cinema.

Paramount set high standards for the digital release of ‘Mission: Impossible: III.’ The studio insisted it only be shown in theatres with 2K cinema grade projectors and DCI-level security and they chose Kodak – a company with a legacy in the movie business — to handle everything. “We told Kodak we expected the highest quality presentation delivered with complete security, seamlessly and painlessly,” says Jim Tharp, Paramount’s President of Distribution. “We worked closely with them to make that a reality.”

“We’re proud that Kodak has been selected to prepare and deliver this movie – and to handle a project of this magnitude for Paramount,” says Bob Mayson, general manager, Digital Motion Imaging, Eastman Kodak Company. “We have a long history of serving them with film and now we’re pleased to be one of their critical partners in digital.”
