Batman 3D


Watch out for that Batarang!

Our friends at ign report that Director Christopher Nolan and his director of photography Wally Pfister are mulling shooting all of Batman 3 in either 3D or IMAX.

Cinematical's Todd Gilchrist chatted with Pfister last week at a Dallas Film Society awards ceremony, during which time the Oscar-nominated cinematographer talked up the visual game plan for the highly anticipated sequel to The Dark Knight.

"What Chris and I have talked about is doing something cool and something interesting," Pfister told the site. "[Director] Brad Bird was [saying] 'you've got to shoot the whole thing in IMAX!' I was like, yeah, I've talked to Chris about that." Pfister believes, though, that the camera technology required to shoot an entire movie in IMAX may be too difficult to pull off.

Pfister also said the idea of shooting Batman 3 in the suddenly popular 3D format is under consideration. "I think Chris is game for doing something interesting like that, Lord knows that the 3-D fad might pass by the time that summer comes around," said Pfister. He added that one thing that is certain about Batman 3 is that it will be shot on film and not video.
