"The Dark Knight Rises" IMAX info

With Nolan's blockbuster set to hit the big screen in about three months time, here is some news for the big cinephile's out there. The film is set to have over 60 minutes of original IMAX footage from genuine IMAX camera's rather than post converted footage.  

"When Mr. Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises” opens July 20, it will contain the most IMAX footage ever for a Hollywood feature, more than one hour’s worth. There were 40 minutes of such footage in 2008′s “The Dark Knight”—which set box-office records in its opening weekend. IMAX’s summer slate also includes potential blockbusters “The Avengers,” “The Amazing Spider-Man,” “Men in Black 3,” Tim Burton’s gothic comedy “Dark Shadows,” and Ridley Scott’s 3-D “Prometheus.” Mr. Nolan’s film was the only one shot using IMAX cameras; the others were converted using IMAX’s technology."
