As if you needed one more reason to go see the "Batman Begins" sequel: Four of the scenes, including the introduction of The Joker, will be shot in the IMAX format.
"The Dark Knight" will be the first feature film to (partially) shoot in the IMAX format … It’s more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way," is what director Christopher Nolan told USA Today.
Unfortunately only about a hundred of the 280 IMAX theaters nationwide presently screen Hollywood movies … although that number is likely to go up by this time next year. The four specific sequences will obviously "stand out" when you visit your local mega-screen.
So why bother with the extra work and expense? Nolan says: "Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible."
