Now that Christopher Nolan proved action and IMAX are a winning combination with The Dark Knight’s $60 million large-screen format box office take, other filmmakers are convincing studios to pony up the cash for similar 70mm sequences.
The next director to utilize IMAX cameras is none other than Michael “stuff blows up real good” Bay. It’s being reported he will film at least three action scenes from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in IMAX, possibly more.
Other directors exploring the possibily of 70mm sequences are John Favreau for Iron Man 2 and Eagle Eye’s D.J. Caruso for Y: The Last Man.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will roll into conventional theaters and IMAX simultaneously on June 26, 2009.
