Dark Knight expands to Imax

By M&C Movie News May 30, 2007, 1:16 GMT

In another twist of technology, Director Christopher Nolan has announced he will film four sequences of the next installment of the Batman franchise, ‘The Dark Knight’ using Imax cameras. What this means is when screened in Imax theaters (at a premium price of course), the aspect ratio will morph to a larger size expanding the image to fill the entire screen. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution saying, “In traditional theaters, the goal is that the Imax-lensed sequences "would jump off screens ... and give patrons an experience they haven't seen in 35mm presentations." It is not unusual for 35mm lensed features to be remastered to screen in Imax but the Dark Knight will be the first to actually use segments filmed with the Imax cameras combined with the 35 mm lensed film – producing final product.The Dark Knight will again star Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne.Pic is scheduled for a July 18, 2008, day-and-date theatrical release with Imax theaters.
