Director Paul Bunnell sits down to discuss the last picture show (of its kind) -- the very last feature shot on Eastman Kodak Plus-X 5231, a legendary black-and-white film stock.

Plus-X is the stuff of legend for filmmakers like Bunnell, and its essence is built into the fabric of Johnny X. Not only was it shot and printed on black-and-white without a digital intermediate, but the production’s fate depended on gathering enough Plus-X from around the world to finish the movie, a feat Bunnell tackled with the help of Kodak. So the journey to finishing Johnny X, spanning the better part of a decade, became interlaced with Bunnell’s struggle to find the last of the Plus-X-a second layer of drama embedded in the making of this film. “I mean we don’t do movies like that anymore,” Bunnell says. “It’s the end of an era.”
He describes Johnny X as a “mad concoction about juvenile delinquents from outer space who are banished to planet earth.” It’s part sci-fi, part juvenile angst, and part melodrama. But most of all Bunnell hopes it will provide some good, old-fashioned fun at the movies.
