Short answer is NO - in my opinion. There are lots of reasons but essentially the cost of bringing it back relative to the revenue that would follow means that it would be a poor investment. Certainly when Ilford was Harman and before being sold to Pemberstone Investments, one of the executives who had a presence on Photrio was unequivocal about it not being worthwhile.

Non of the cheerleaders for film i.e. those who make their living writing about film's revival and promising "good times" ahead do not believe it will be brought back

Super optimists might say "never say never" and who can tell how much more of a film market we will have in say 3-5 years but even if you belong to that club then I feel that the kind of a timescale above is the minimum you can apply

Mike
