We all have our favorite seat at the movie theater, but Christopher Nolan says it depends on how the film is presented.
Christopher Nolan is one of the most vocal and intelligent proponents of the theater-going experience. From challenging the industry’s use of streaming services to encouraging the use and preservation of film stock to urging Congress to save movie theaters amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Nolan has continued to give insight on and a voice to the art of not just cinema but the cinemas. Nolan prefers to sit further back. So, a little further back.”
No word yet on what Nolan’s favorite movie candy is…but we’re thinking Nerds Rope.As such, Christopher Nolan would be watching his next movie, Oppenheimer
– which was filmed using IMAX 65mm and 65mm large-format film – in the latter setup. Oppenheimer is indeed big, and we’re not just talking about the three-hour runtime (Nolan’s longest, edging out Interstellar): the prints weigh around 600 pounds and hold more than 11 miles of film.Adding to the experience he hopes people get from seeing the movie when it’s released on July 21st
, Christopher Nolan said, “You rarely get the chance to really talk to moviegoers directly about why you love a particular format and why if they can find an IMAX screen to see the film on that’s great…We put a lot of effort into shooting the film in a way that we can get it out on these large format screens. It’s a great opportunity to give people an experience they can’t get at home. How does this enhance your movie-going experience?
