There have been plenty of ALL DIGITAL motion pictures. All of the 
PIXAR animated features are digital, with a mixture of film prints 
and electronic projection for distribution. Virtually all films that 
use computer generated imagery - how many films DO NOT use CGI today 
- rely on the ability to turn bits into properly exposed film grains.

The area that John is correct about is the acquisition of camera 
imagery using HD cameras rather than film cameras. Other than Lucas, 
hardly anything of real economic significance is being shot with 
electronic cinematography cameras. This is largely true of the dramas 
and sitcoms that are being produced for TV as well.
