Sure, anything can be done. Do you think it's a good idea to use
"electronic negatives" (which don't exist) when it will double the cost of
the production?
Heck -- why don't they just go to video for films? (The answer: because
then, they wouldn't be films.)

But can't the negative from which the prints are directly made
be made electronically? I am getting prints from 35 mm
still film made on both a dye-jet printer and a transparency
maker that are better than direct all-film prints. OF course,
this is scanned at some 2900 pixels across the film.
