Director Christopher Nolan plans to shoot parts of the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight, in the IMAX format, USA Today reported today (Tuesday). It would mark the first time a major studio has used the cumbersome process in a feature. Four action sequences, including the introduction of the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, will employ the giant-screen process. They will fill the entire IMAX screen, producing the reality-like images that the process is famous for. (Some conventional films have been converted to the IMAX format, but the result is technically inferior to films that are originally shot with the IMAX system.) Nolan told USA Today: "Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible. I figured if you could take an IMAX camera to Mount Everest or outer space, you could use it in a feature movie."
