 From Kodak's "Far and Away" brochure. Ron Howard (left) and Brian Grazer (right)"Grazer says the decision to make "Far and Away" in 65mm upped the budget by only $700,000, an inconsiderable sum for an already high-cost film." Richard Natale, Variety, 18/5/1992 [Workshop Editors' note: the estimated budget for "Far and Away", according to IMDB, is cited as $ 30 million at the time of release. The additional $ 700,000 to shoot 65mm thus represented an increase of just 2.4% over the cost of shooting on 35mm] | |
