Will Chris Nolan Film The Whole Of The Dark Knight Rises In IMAX?

Apparently, new and less bulky technology means that the director of the highly anticipated Batman movie will try and shoot the entire movie in the stunning quality format...

We already know that Christopher Nolan wont film The Dark Knight Rises in 3D, but he has already confirmed that like with his previous movies The Dark Knight and Inception, the IMAX format would play a role in the next Batman movie. Well, the following piece of information seems to hint that the critically acclaimed director has even bigger plans for it this time round!



Here's what one of Collider's inside sources told them:

I’m hearing that Nolan will try and shoot The Dark Knight Rises totally in IMAX. I’ve heard that IMAX has been quietly developing a smaller, less intrusive camera that will be able to handle dialogue scenes. If the camera is finished in time, expect Nolan to use it.

What do you think of this news? The IMAX scenes on The Dark Knight blu-ray were some of the most stunning I've seen and Inception looked truly amazing up on the big screen in the format. The weight and noise of the cameras have previously restricted what Nolan could do with them, but if the above information is correct, we're in for a visual treat!

The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released on July 20, 2012!

I think this is pretty much a given. Saw Inception in an IMAX screen, absolutely blew me away. As if TDKR wasn't going to be amazing already, this presentation will make it legendary.

Great news. Nolan standing his ground about the whole crappy 3-D gimmick was great news. I reckon - correction - I know, this'll be a great film.

@ the420fanboy - I think Wally Pfister said it was gonna be certain scenes like TDK, but don't quote me on that.

Can't share in the enthusiasm I'm afraid. The closest IMAX in my area is 3hrs away! Figures.

@ Paulie - I'm not sure I follow your logic. It's called The Dark Knight Rises due to the storyline, Batman becoming the protector of Gotham we all know etc.
It's got nothing to do with making sure it pulls the crowds in. The movie would sell with or without the the phrase "The Dark Knight" in the title. EVERYONE, knows it's the new Batman film.

Awesome. Hope the movie's worth it. Batman Begins would have been. The Dark Knight would not have been.

IMAX is fine, it makes the movie more epic. 3D is for Pixar movies and kids.

Cameron's a genius. Avatar was not a masterpiece, but is a classic. 3D sucks. Conroy is the best Batman we've had yet. Bale's voice is not the best. It is the worst. I'd rather have Adam West, to be perfectly honest.
