“I have control over every single frame on Blu-ray. If I want a scene bluer, I get that scene bluer. Originally, there was some fluctuation with the prints. If you made a thousand, or a few thousand prints, there is no control over any of that. But now I can make a master using the digital process.” IfsWantMadeI CanProcessMastersSceneThousandDigitalPrintRaysFluctuation Author:William Friedkin
“The digital process gives me total control over how I want the film to look. The films look like they did when I was first looking through the viewfinder.” WantGivingFirstsLooksFilmProcessGive MeDigital Author:William Friedkin
“Every time you run a 35mm print, it picks up scratches. It picks up dirt. Sometimes it breaks, and you have to re-splice it. You lose frames. This doesn't happen with digital or Blu-ray. I think that's great. Because I love the new media.” ThinkingSometimesHappensRunningLosesBreakMediaPicksDigitalPrintRaysDirtScratchesNew Media Author:William Friedkin

“The Blu-ray is the real cinematech of world cinema. That's how it's being preserved. All of these guys that are trying to preserve 35mm negatives? They are wasting their time. There are better ways to see and project this stuff. It's called digital.” WorldWayTryingRealGuyStuffProjectsPreservesCinemaDigitalRaysBetter Ways Author:William Friedkin
