Of course, even the aspect ratio that The Dark Knight's blu-ray expands to cuts off a good chunk of the original IMAX presentation. If the IMAX print were to be released on Blu-ray in their original aspect ratio, there would be sizable vertical black bars on the side of your television screen during these segments. While I would almost never endorse distributing a film in a cropped aspect ratio, I see why a transition to this could be oft-putting to the home movie watching experience.
I've really loved how the films mentioned above expanded to or 1. I'm very interested in increased frame rates, which Peter Jackson's playing with. And if you get an image of unbelievable clarity and sharpness on a really big screen, I think you, well just like you said, feel like you're going to fall into the screen. And I think that in this rush to give the audience something special, we're losing the fact that just having a really big, sharp image is the best presentation that you can have.
When it fills your field of vision, it's something to behold. Can you talk about the decision to release it in IMAX prior to the wide release? Right, for five days, which is stunning that they went along with me on that. I wanted it to be a little longer, but I'm amazed that I got five days because every studio on the planet wants to have the biggest opening number. And you can't have the biggest opening number when you're only on a few hundred screens, but I argued with them that the most valuable kind of advertising, the kind that's hardest to get, is word-of-mouth.
And that if all the first viewers of the film see it at it's very best, you're going to get the very best word-of-mouth. And they went along with that, and I applaud their courageousness because we won't be able to brag about getting the biggest number. We physically can't do it if we're going to do this. But we will have the best presentation and all the first people that see this movie will see it at its best.
I also want to ask about your approach, just from the franchise point of view- at this point there have been three different films, all from three different directors, but more importantly, in terms of some franchises there's not a lot of continuity when it comes to this.
You have similar characters that bridge the gaps, but you're not necessarily constantly referencing the older films. And I'm curious how that affects your approach.
Well, we're actually the first Mission: Impossible that has a little tiny bit of carry-over. First of all, Simon Pegg had a very small role in the last Mission: Impossible and he was so memorable in it that JJ and Tom were determined to have him have a big role in this film. But there also is one little story element that carries over a little bit.
But I think that everyone, Tom especially, was concerned that each movie stand on its own as a movie experience. So it's not important that you've seen the last movie or any of the Mission: Impossible s to enjoy this one.
That said, if you did see the last Mission: Impossible , which is my favorite one because it was emotional, there is a story element that's pretty important that carries over. NJ native who calls LA home; lives in a Dreamatorium. Eric Eisenberg. Once again, Tom Cruise has taken his daring stunts to new heights, this time - literally!
After over 30 years of stunt training, Tom Cruise still brings all the action and suspense to the screen by taking his dangerous maneuvers to the next level.
Jul 31, Jul 28, Now playing. Now we get offered three or four films for every one we do. As we become much more plug-and-play we become much more desirable for the release schedule patterns of both the exhibitors and the studios. Are the IMAX cameras getting easier to use too? I think shooting with our IMAX cameras is still a labor of love. In time, I hope it becomes less of a labor of love and more user-friendly.
When do you think technology will allow us to see more than 30 minutes of IMAX footage in feature films?
But, Nolan also filmed almost 1,, feet in IMAX raw stock film to create that half of the movie. It would just be to create a more memorable experience than what consumers are used to seeing today. From the projection perspective the upgrades in this projector could close the gap between a technology that converts film into IMAX format and actually filming with an IMAX camera.
For the MI:4 release, we took over the YouTube homepage for 24 hours. During that period of time we averaged between click-throughs a second to our homepage. In fact, the ticket prices are even a little higher in China too. The main difference is that the market is growing so quickly in China.
There are only 8, conventional screens in China today.
