The Dark Knight Rises Features 72 Minutes Of IMAX Footage New Batman Still Released

Christopher Nolan once again discusses the benefits of shooting a film like The Dark Knight Rises, while a film cell which shows the difference between 30mm theatres and IMAX screens offers up a very cool new look at Christian Bale as the Caped Crusader.

In a brand new interview with The New York Times. The director behind all the three Batman movies Christopher Nolan, Reveals that "The sharpness and the depth of the image, projected onto those enormous screens, is simply the best quality image that has ever been invented," And as you can see from the stills he was not wrong. The New York Times spoke to the director and he reveals that moviegoers will be able to see both the IMAX version of The Dark Knight Rises Batman movie in both it's larger version and the first image does represent what The Dark Knight Rises will look like in IMAX, while the second much smaller image is a representation of what moviegoers will see if they decide to view the film in the regular 35MM format. IMAX has 10x the resolution and a greater amount of detail. (Batman's hand and the fog surrounding him for example). Although things get a bit technical at this point, all you really need to know is that the format is a considerbly superior way of viewing the movie.

The report also confirms that the film will feature exactly 72 minutes of IMAX footage. Not surprising considering that it was such a priority for the filmmaker. "We always carried at least one Imax camera through the run of the show," reveals Nolan, "so then wherever we felt a scene would lend itself to Imax, we could decide on the day to go and put that camera in. And we wound up using it more and more. When you’re talking about this large-scale studio filmmaking, the size of the camera is pretty irrelevant compared to the massive difficulties and the massive resources you’re wrangling on a daily basis. And so having this extra image quality, giving the audience the best possible technical look at what you’ve shot, is the obvious thing to do."
