Fans of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy do not have to wait until 2012 to catch a glimpse of our favorite caped crusader in The Dark Knight Rises. A prologue of the film will arrive December 16 on IMAX screens in select cities (list of them are below). Nolan was the first to use IMAX cameras when he filmed The Dark Knight and was eager to use the technology on his final film in the Batman series.
“Our experience on The Dark Knight shooting and projecting IMAX 15 perf 65mm/70mm film was inspiring,” Nolan said in a statement. “The immersive quality of the image goes beyond any other filmmaking tool available, and in revisiting Gotham, we were determined to shoot even more of the movie in this unique format. Giving the fans an early look at an IMAX sequence is a great way to draw attention to what I believe will be an incredible way to experience our story when it comes out next summer.”
