Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is set to open this Friday and, in anticipation of that, Paramount has just released a new featurette that discusses the director’s decision to use film.
“Go behind-the-scenes on a year-long initiative to see the lengths one team was willing to go to bring a vision to life. Join Christopher Nolan, Hoyte van Hoytema and the IMAX team as they document the process involved for the IMAX® 70mm film release of Interstellar, which involved hundreds of people, 20 tons of film prints, and countless hours of planning, installation, testing and training.”
Â
“Continuing the legacy begun by IMAX trailblazer Christopher Nolan and his use of the 15 perf 65mm IMAX® cameras in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan has captured more than an hour ofInterstellar using IMAX® cameras. These specific sequences will expand to fill the entire screen exclusively in IMAX® theatres with breathtaking image quality and scope for a truly immersive experience.
Sequences of Interstellar filmed in 35mm will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.”
Stay tuned, right here to Latino-Review for my official Interstellar review. I’ll be publishing it tomorrow (Wednesday). For now all I can say, and it works hand-in-hand with this featurette: It sure is pretty.
