The Hollywood Reporter.com is reporting that Christopher Nolan will be shooting four sequences of "The Dark Knight" using Imax cameras making this the first major film project to ever do so. These sequences will be combined with the rest of the film -- lensed in 35mm -- to produce the final product.
What the use of Imax technology in the production means for audiences in Imax theaters is that when the select scenes are shown, the aspect ratio will morph to the larger size, expanding the image to fill the entire screen. 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," said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution.
"The Dark Knight" stars Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne with Heath Ledger as The Joker and hits theaters July 18, 2008.
