Anatomy Of An IMAX Theater - The Dark Knight Rises

The buzz is at deafening levels, the anticipation palpable. With only a week or two left, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Rises is almost upon us. The film has become one of the most anticipated films of this summer, with theaters selling out of tickets weeks in advance. However, have you ever thought about the work that goes into simply screening a movie? Most people at this point are probably aware of the effort that goes into movie production, yet the screening process, especially when it comes to a cinema as complex as a full IMAX theater, is something that I've never had a chance to learn about.

This behind the scenes video goes itno the process of preparing a film at an IMAX theater, as the crew prepares the projector system in the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey, which is set to become one of the biggest North America IMAX screens at 88 feet. The Dark Knight Rises will be the first major Hollywood release to premiere at the Center thanks to Christopher Nolan's insistence on filming in a non-digital format. Are you ready for the Dark Knight? Well, if you want the true Batman experience it definitely looks like New Jersey will be the place to be.
