Christopher Nolan, Jordan Peele, and IMAX Team Up to Make New Film Cameras

A cinematic piece is only as good as the immersion it provides. There are various ways in which filmmakers immerse their audiences; it might be using the narrative, the character building, the hype, or the audio visual experience. When it comes to watching films on theatre, the audio visual immersion is what most audiences expect and desire. This can be done using bigger screens, better surround sound formats, realistic VFX, or innovative cinematography. One other way to do this is shooting the film in the most qualitative format, which as of now is IMAX.

IMAX Is Back With New Innovation

Shooting films is IMAX is not an easy job as it requires higher investment and a sound vision. Most films that you view in theatres are converted to IMAX format rather than being shot in them. But there are a few filmmakers who are dedicated to shooting their films using IMAX cameras. Two of these filmmakers are Christopher Nolan and Jordan Peele, who are now reportedly working closely with IMAX to develop new film cameras.

IMAX as you may know refers to Image Maximum because it provides viewers highest quality output on a much bigger screen. As opposed to standard film size of 35mm, IMAX cameras offer 70mm film print. IMAX format runs the film horizontally through the projector and makes 70mm film stock appear three times larger. Therefore, as of now IMAX provides viewers an optimum film viewing experience which frankly is the best one you can get. But as per reports from THR, IMAX is now working on new film cameras which might take film making to a whole new level.

 “From our connected global network to Imax Enhanced for the home, the Imax Experience provides a more expansive creative canvas than ever, and these new film cameras will enable a new generation of creators along with those who already love working with the cameras a better way to unlock the power of Imax,” said Megan Colligan, President of Imax Entertainment.

Nolan and Peele Working on New IMAX Cameras

As mentioned above Christopher Nolan and Jordan Peele, being two of the most visionary directors today, are helping them develop these cameras. Nolan, as you may know, has been using IMAX cameras from some time now and has been incredibly loyal to them. His latest film Tenet was also shot in IMAX, and was one of the most visually pleasing films of the decade. Nolan’s upcoming World War II epic, Oppenheimer is also using IMAX cameras. Same is the case with Jordan Peele who is currently working on his horror flick Nope using IMAX.

When asked about the subject Christopher Nolan stated, “From resolution and color to sharpness and overall quality, there is nothing compared to using IMAX film cameras today. Filmmakers and movie fans worldwide should be thrilled at the prospect of new and improved Imax film cameras – I know I am.”

Apart from them, the cinematographers Hoyte van Hoytema (Tenet), Linus Sandgren (No Time to Die), Rachel Morrison (Black Panther), Bradford Young (Arrival), and Dan Mindel (Star Trek) are also being consulted by IMAX. Hopefully, whatever they are working on would turn out to be a cinematic innovation which will rise the level of filmmaking. Talking about innovation in cinema, do check out the revolutionary director James Cameron’s Avatar 2 which is bound to blow all our minds.
