Third Batman filmed all in IMAX?
August 26, 2009 – 2:01 pmAin’t It Cool News threw out a rumor today that the next Batman installment could be filmed entirely in IMAX. Most likely wishful thinking, nevertheless here’s what AICN writes:
The THIRD chapter of Christopher Nolan’s Caped Crusader’s saga could very well be FULLY shot in IMAX, not IMAX Digital – but the beautiful, stunning IMAX that we saw pieces of THE DARK KNIGHT in.
Now this is something that I’m sure a lot of you will feel is a no-brainer. Nolan blew us away with the IMAX sequences in that film – but it was a very tough process to work in. Mainly due to the limitations of how many available real IMAX rigs there are. Not only that, but lenses had to be created, adapted and god forbid one broke down. Part of the reason that Nolan went forward with INCEPTION first – besides taking a creative break from the cape and cowl adventures… was possibly to create a few new IMAX cameras made to his specs. Once again – the cost of shooting an entire feature film on IMAX… the stock, the time it takes to reset, to load, to move the cameras… Well… it is daunting, but as Nolan proved with DARK KNIGHT – the difference is stunning.
I’m going to continue to pursue this story further – to try to get some official comments, but as I was flying out of Chicago… and I was looking down at part of Nolan’s Gotham… it just felt like the perfect story to post from my first flying Wifi adventure! So what do you think? Should Nolan shoot the entire next film that way?

agree that this is highly doubtful. i read the imax camera is just too loud to film dialogue.

wouldn’t it be awesome anyway! i do have a hard time believing ain’t it cool news. they just seem to start rumors for the hell of it, never panning out to be true.

IMAX or not, if the story isn’t solid then it won’t matter what film stock they film in. See Transformers 2. Yuck, what a nightmare. But I trust Chris Nolan to give us another great Batman story.
