Inception and The Dark Knight director of photography Wally Pfister talks about Christopher Nolan’s “perfect trilogy” of Batman films…
Appreciating that you wouldn't expect Christopher Nolan's long-time director of photography to say much different, nonetheless Wally Pfister has been talking to the Kevin And Josh Movie Show about the script for The Dark Knight Rises, which he's now read.
Unsurprising, Pfister thinks it's the business. And when asked how he thought Nolan was going to top The Dark Knight, Pfister replied by saying, "I asked the same question. I read the script two weeks ago, and he's done it. Plain and simple, he's done it. It's a phenomenal script."
He continued, adding, "He's still in the process of cutting it back, because it's a very long script right now, but it's really phenomenal. And he actually had me go back and wanted me to watch, in IMAX, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight again. When I watched those I had read the script for The Dark Knight Rises and was like, 'Dude, it is a perfect trilogy.'"
Furthermore, Pfister chatted a little more about the plans to film the movie using IMAX cameras. "Our goal is to shoot as much in IMAX as we can," he said.
"We're going to put it on the screen, and put it on the screen big. And I really encourage everyone to see it in IMAX if they can, because we're really going for it this time. In terms of the action, we are all scratching our heads right now trying to figure out how we're going to do it, how we're going to do it in the amount of time we're going to do it in. The opening scene of the movie will blow your mind."
