You definitely want to go digital. I still have rolls of film from 10 years ago I haven't processed because it costs so much to get them developed. At that time, I was still learning how to shoot, so I was paying for whole rolls of film that only had a couple shots that were any good. It might be tempting to get a fancy-schmancy film camera because it will be so cheap these days, but any money you save on that camera will be eaten up in developing costs within six months--even if he only shoots 10 rolls of film.
