That's not right. Some scenes were filmed in 70mm, and some in VistaVision (aerial shots) and the rest in anamorphic (apart from some shots with an HDCAM), but none of it was IMAX.

70mm is IMAX

http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/03/25/...g-development/

Nolan admits as much to Collider, saying that he “didn’t feel that we were going to be able to shoot in IMAX because of the size of the cameras because this film given that it deals with a potentially surreal area, the nature of dreams and so forth, I wanted it to be as realistic as possible. Not be bound by the scale of those IMAX cameras, even though I love the format dearly.” He then went on to reveal that they “went to the next best thing” … “a set of negative - that’s of the highest possible quality except IMAX.”

They shot the majority of the film using anamorphic 35mm, but Nolan says they “shot key sequences on 65mm” with “5 perf not 15 perf,” and they “shot VistaVision on certain other sequences.” For those of you who aren’t film tech geeks, this is a significant difference: 65mm 5 perf gives you 4.2 times the available image area behind the lens compared to regular four perf 35mm. Go check out the 1992 documentary Baraka to see what 65mm 5 perf can look like. The result is very vivid, practically no grain. In IMAX the film should look amazing.


“We have the highest quality image of any film that’s being made and that allows us to reformat the film for any distribution form that we’d like to put it in. We’re definitely going to do an IMAX release. We’re excited about doing that and using our original negative 65mm photography to maximize the effect of that release.”

Frosty also got Nolan to comment on the emerging 3D boom.Nolan, like Michael Bay (wait, did I just start a sentence comparing Bay to Nolan?), likes to shoot on film, using anamorphic lenses, and isn’t a fan of the video look. This leaves only one alternative, post production 3D conversion. Warner Bros head Alan Horn already announced that all their future tentpole films would be released in 3D, does this include Inception?

“3D I think is an interesting development in movies or the resurgence of 3D. It’s something we’re looking at and watching. There are certain limitations of shooting in 3D. You have to shoot on video, which I’m not a fan of. I like shooting on film. And so then you’re looking at post-conversion processes which are moving forward in very exciting ways.”

Whether Nolan likes it or not, he'll be forced to jump on the 3D bandwagon. He's already gone from saying "no way", to "it's getting better".

I wonder if we'll see "Batman 3D".

He did say that they did convert a small part of Inception to 3D and that he was actually quite pleased with it - but still hesitant and definitely not willing to do a rush job (thank god).

Can't wait for Inception.

You are right I stand corrected.

I think he should give in before filming, or else we might be getting a conversion job, exspecially if this doesn't pull in the mega-bucks WB are expecting!

Got my copy of Empire Magazine with Inception on the cover and 30 pages of Christopher Nolan and his movies.

For the Nolan lovers out there this is the magazine to get.





Decided to throw this in there because if you look at Nolan it looks like he's thinking, "doesn't look like a long way down to me."

[blufellas]

Can't wait to see this on opening weekend

God, I hope not. First, shoot the whole film in IMAX. Then let's start talking about going 3D.

We'll be seeing it in 3-D before we see it all filmed in Imax!

Read her review, sounds like she just left her brain at the door and everything went right over here head.

"Please, I think we already have enough trouble navigating the murky labyrinths of our own nightmares, and making it out of there with enormous relief by morning."

"Because if there's one thing more snooze inducing than being stuck as a spectator in somebody else's dreams, it's got to be getting imprisoned in their perpetual therapy sessions while engaged as mutual shrinks."

Im sorry its not a mindless action flick.

I'm not on the bandwagon about Inception the way others are, but I agree completely with you. That's incompetent writing and reviewing at best. Her opening paragraph is atrocious. She makes zero points.
