If anyone has any specific questions on this project, feel free to post em and I will respond. I was responsible for setting up and supporting the system for the digital hub. It was tough doing the production through the beta, but once we got a released build much smoother.

So Premiere was used as the capture utility only, obviously.
On a related subject, I was intrigued that they used similar titles in the movie to the originals, but the original films were opticals, and the new digital titles looked too digital, nor did they use the swooshing sound as was very effective in the old films.
Especially absent was the spatial swoosh which should have accompanied the Superman logo’s entrance. Overall a good movie with some plot points stolen from ET.
Just wanted to get that off my chest.Cool to see Premiere is accepted in Hollywood.

Yes, capture only.
Editorial was already set up with their tools and infrastructure, but in terms of assembling the film and color correcting all the Genesis material as well as distributing the DPX frames for visual effects. Premiere was a pretty obvious choice for Digital Sandbox who had the digital hub on the lot. Cost wise it is a fraction of any other tool that could do the same 444 RGB uncompressed capture.
I see it as a positive nod of acceptance. It takes time to get into the studios and we need more cases like this… which there will be.
Hopefully someday I can talk about another presigious filmmaker who had Premiere Pro working in a not so typical way.jacob
