Christopher Nolan revealed that he and the ‘Oppenheimer’ team worked with Kodak to create a new type of IMAX film for the biopic.
Over the past decade, there has been much discussion over the importance of 'intellectual properties' or franchises, superhero movies, and 'soulless' big-budget popcorn movies with zero substance, which have taken over from true 'auteur' filmmaking - according to some, at least. One thing is undeniable: you can be an auteur and put butts in seats, something which you can associate with Christopher Nolan.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The film takes place over a sprawling time period, thought to be at least a decade. And as a result, Nolan decided to go back to some of his formative work to influence the way his latest epic would be shot - including his favourite way of filming: IMAX. This meant putting his head together with Hoyte van Hoytema, his trusted cinematographer, with whom he has worked since Interstellar, to come up with a solution to a new problem.
