Actually, I've heard (or read) people claim that the Rollei film is 
being manufactured today - by some company that bought the entire 
production line from AgfaPhoto. I'm sure you find some details on the 
web if you care to search for it, which I don't.

Also, according to a guy at a local photo shop, there is a reasonable 
demand for it. And for stuff like Tri-X etc. The same shop apparently 
had b&w film sales of virtually 0 a couple of years ago. So maybe b&w 
film has already been dead for long enough to be resurrected...
