Polaroid instant film is on course for a comeback with news that a separate company has taken over Polaroid's factory in the Netherlands.
Impossible B.V says it has acquired Polaroid's production plant in Amsterdam and plans to 're-invent and re-produce' film for Polaroid's instant film cameras.
Last year Polaroid announced plans to end film production, blaming the digital photography revolution.
'The impossible mission is not to re-build Polaroid Integral film but to develop a new product with new characteristics,' said a spokesman for Impossible B.V.
The firm aims to start production next year, producing three million films in the first year and ten million in subsequent years.
