To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. is bringing it to IMAX screens for one week only.
The Dark Knight will be screened across four select IMAX theatres in LA, New York, San Francisco and Toronto, with the aim to showcase its utilization of IMAX 70mm film and massive scale. Four of The Dark Knight’s major sequences were shot with IMAX cameras, including the Joker’s opening bank robbery, and Nolan has gone on to use IMAX cameras in his subsequent films.
Warner Bros. says the IMAX screening is intended to give the public a look at The Dark Knight as it was meant to be seen. Tickets for the opening day go on sale this Friday, July 20th. Showtimes are currently only announced for August 24th, but subsequent screening dates will be announced closer to release.
