The ‘end of film’ has been predicted for a long time, but now it’s here.

Last summer, Kodak said it would stop producing cellulose acetate for film, and now Paramount has become the first major movie studio to say it will no longer distribute film prints.

Despite die-hards like J.J.Abrams saying they’ll always use physical film, with a studio as large as Paramount ditching it, the holdouts may be forced to go along with the rest of the industry if film is phased out entirely.

And that might happen before the end of the year as other studios are keen to give their movies all-digital releases.

Paramount has already become the first studio to release a movie purely in digital form, with The Wolf of Wall Street.

Naturally, abandoning physical film means pushing away the 8% of US cinemas that can only screen movies on film.

It’ll be easy to say ‘well, they need to catch up with the rest of the world’, but these venues generally haven’t upgraded yet because doing so is expensive or because they’re trying to offer a more traditional cinema experience.

So they’re screwed, too.

Paramount’s final 35mm film release was Anchorman 2, so at least they’ve got that, eh?

The big Batman vs. Superman movie has been postponed by almost a year, moving from July 2014 to May 2016.

Warners say there's nothing to worry about, director Zack Snyder just needs some more time to work on the film.

The studio says that it wants to give the filmmakers "time to realise fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story," ... but 10 months?!

As soon as the announcement was made, rumours began flying. Was Ben Afflick injured in some way?

Has there been a big fallout between Snyder and the studio? Is the script total garbage and in need of a complete rewrite?

According to the studio, no - none of those things. But come on ... 10 MONTHS?!

Since the Bats/Supes film was announced, Gal Gadot has been cast as the new Wonder Woman, which leads me to think that perhaps everyone is quickly reworking the film to turn it into a full Justice League movie. We'll see.

In the meantime, Warner Bros is not going to let that July 2015 release date go to waste, and has put in Joe Wright's Peter Pan origin story Pan.

Disney film Frozen has spent weeks at the top of box office charts worldwide, and has just overtaken The Lion King to become the highest-grossing Disney of all time.

It earned a Golden Globe the other week and still hasn’t opened in several major markets, including China.

However, the Mouse House has been looking for ways to keep milking the movie for all it’s worth, and has settled on a stage musical.

It makes sense, given that a lot of the success is being pinned on the soundtrack, which has topped the US charts and contains musical contributions from Robert and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who have worked on hit musicals including Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon.

Don’t expect to see anything soon though.

As well as still having to open around the world, Disney CEO Bob Iger said: “We’re not demanding speed. We’re demanding excellence.”

I’m sure the Frozen musical will do very well and make Mr Iger happy.

The Lion King musical first opened 16 years ago, but is still one of the most popular musicals in the world and has just become the first Broadway musical to gross $1bn, despite being just a load of sticks and blankets.
