Christopher Nolan loves IMAX. Renowned as a strong advocate of film over digital, the blockbuster king/new Kubrick (take your pick) has been pushing the vision-dominating format for years now. And, it seems, he's not going to change his ways any time soon. There was a special IMAX With Laser event at Empire Leicester Square this morning and, along with some exciting scoops about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice and Spectre, we also learnt that Nolan, who is a key player in the company's blockbuster advances, is planning "several" movies in the format. That Nolan is wanting to use IMAX isn't that surprising - from The Dark Knight onwards he's been shooting more and more on IMAX - but that he's got several projects lined up is certainly interesting. He's a director who famously doesn't like to be distracted from his current project, never discussing what's next until well after his latest is in cinemas, but this suggests that, at the very least, he has an idea of where his career is heading. What could these movies be? Well, he already has his next project lined up for a July 21, 2017 release, which will no doubt use more IMAX than ever before. This has been rumoured to be the first part of a live-action trilogy remake of Akira. Could those be the "several" films that were being referred to? We'll have to wait and see.
