Wanna see The Joker in IMAX???

The word is that Christopher Nolan is shooting four big sequences for The Dark Knight with 70mm Imax camera's, one of which will be the introduction of The Joker! This will be the first time a big feature film will be partly shot in this format.

2105_joker_sp_lg.jpgThe word is that Christopher Nolan is shooting four big sequences for The Dark Knight with 70mm Imax camera's, one of which will be the introduction of The Joker! This will be the first time a big feature film will be partly shot in this format. From USA Today...
"There's simply nothing like seeing a movie that way," Nolan says. "It's more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way."
And cleverly for his film, Nolan adds the following...
"You can't do this on any home theater...Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible.
But I can't imagine anyone not wanting to see this on the big screen anyway. Basically all this means for us movie fans is that the scenes will look amazing if your lucky enough to see this on IMAX but if your watching at your local cinema don't worry the scenes will still be improved from the normal film stock. New pics below. The first is obviously one of The Joker's henchmen and the second is an image of Nolan directing Heath Ledger in full make-up gear. The green hair is back and is that a purple suit I see?
