IMAX is kind of like the Eli Manning of the movie industry. It's not as flashy, or enticing, or will sell as many tickets as Peyton--er--3D but it does deliver high quality entertainment. Personally I'll take anything on a bigger screen over something in 3D seven days out of the week.
Well Bond fans rejoice! This November's Skyfall, which marks the 23rd James Bond film and the 50th year since the franchise began, will be released in IMAX theaters. Unfortunately the film is not being shot with IMAX cameras. Rather it is going to be remastered to match IMAX level sound and picture quality.
I'm not saying that Skyfall won't be good on an IMAX screen even though it is not being shot with IMAX cameras, I just don't know if it is worth it. I'd hate for it to be a tedious and unflattering upgrade like studios sometimes do with 3D conversions. I'm much more interested in seeing The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX because director Christopher Nolan used IMAX cameras and nearly fifty minutes of the film is shot specifically for IMAX. To me this seems like a money grab by the studio to scoop up an extra couple of bucks. Oh well. No one ever said movie studios were magnanimous.
Skyfall releases this November and stars Daniel Craig as 007 for the third time.
*In case you are wondering who this is and why it's not Daniel Craig I'll fill you in. This lovely lady happens to be French actress and model Berenice Marlohe who will co-star in the upcoming Bond film. Now SHE'S someone I wouldn't mind seeing on IMAX. Or in person for that matter.
