 Studios often promise their sequels will be bigger than the originals, but in the case of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. isn't kidding. Four scenes from the Batman Begins follow-up will be shot in IMAX format, including the scene that introduces the Joker.
IMAX is expensive and difficult to shoot with, with film that's ten times larger than standard film and bulky cameras that are operate so loudly they can drown out the actors' dialogue.
Many features are shown on IMAX screens, but they are just stretched to fill the eight-story-tall screens, which can distort and blur the movie.
"Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible," explained director Christopher Nolan. "I figured if you could take an IMAX camera to Mount Everest or outer space, you could use it in a feature movie." |
