One of the biggest ongoing debates is about how the death of shooting on film has affected the film industry. Digital filmmaking presents directors with so much more freedom, in that they can shoot as much coverage as they like quickly and at low cost, while an entire digital infrastructure exists for young filmmakers to make a movie and post it on YouTube or Vimeo for all to see. The downside is that digital just doesn't look as good as film most of the time. Movement is particularly troublesome on some digital cameras: take this summer's X-Men: Days of Future Past, which was filmed on digital and looks like absolute garbage whenever there's a crowded fight scene (the "smoothness" of the image creates a motion blur and makes it look like a kid filming something in their garden with their dad's old camera). Can It Make A Comeback?: Impossible. Film has very nearly ground to a halt now, with only specialist, trusted directors like Christopher Nolan still being allowed to use it (and in the case of Interstellar, even have the film screened in 70mm in select locations). Digital has won, and its proliferation will only continue to intensify in the years to come.
