Already started a thread on this in the Favorite Films forum, but I wanted to post IMAX's press release. This is a milestone because The Dark Knight is the first studio movie to use IMAX cameras and the large format 70mm/15 perf film stock to film major scenes (about 20% of the movie). IMAX screenings of The Dark Knight will actually project the scenes filmed with the IMAX cameras onto the full height and width of the IMAX screen.

THE DARK KNIGHT: THE IMAX EXPERIENCE, from Warner Bros. Pictures, will feature six sequences filmed with IMAX® cameras. This marks the first time ever that a major feature film has been even partially shot using IMAX cameras, marking a revolutionary integration of the two film formats.

The follow-up to the action hit BATMAN BEGINS, THE DARK KNIGHT reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne. In the new film, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.

THE DARK KNIGHT: THE IMAX EXPERIENCE will be distributed exclusively by Warner Bros. Pictures.
