Sure, they will be shot on film since film still has advantages in picture quality over digital for shooting. They will be mastered in 4K however, 35mm film distribution prints have been discontinued. Especially for Imax sequences 80mm film is still vastly superior over a 5K digital camera. Those shots will be future proof for an 8K master down the road. (Eg Baraka and Samsara already have been scanned in 8K from their 80mm negatives)

I don't mind if Blu-ray 4K becomes the next Laserdisc. I was happy with LD, served me well for a long time. Blu-ray 4K has a lot more convenience than the huge LD discs though with max 50 minutes per side, many movies came on multiple discs. That kept the price high too. Blu-ray 4K should do better than LD. Unless the price is sky high due to blu-ray 4K, 3D 4K, blu-ray, 3D, DVD, digital copy combo packs :/

the problem is the price will be sky high. I don't think the world will have the appetite for that for a long long time.
