Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” — the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy — is one of the most anticipated films of 2012, but moviegoers won’t have to wait until next year to see the six-minute opening sequence of the film. The film’s prologue will be unveiled exclusively in select 70mm IMAX® theatres worldwide. The announcement was made today by Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan-Rubinek, President of International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
The Prologue will be released in North America on December 16, and in the UK on December 21, 2011. Additional international dates vary by territory and will be announced soon.
In making the 2008 blockbuster “The Dark Knight,” Nolan was the first to use IMAX® cameras in a major motion picture release, and, as now, audiences were given an advance look at that film’s prologue months prior to the Summer 2008 opening. Nolan employed the extremely high-resolution cameras even more extensively on “The Dark Knight Rises”—including the film’s prologue—to achieve unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience for the moviegoers.
Christopher Nolan stated, “Our experience on ‘The Dark Knight’ shooting and projecting IMAX 15 perf 65mm/70mm film was inspiring. The immersive quality of the image goes beyond any other filmmaking tool available, and in revisiting Gotham, we were determined to shoot even more of the movie in this unique format. Giving the fans an early look at an IMAX sequence is a great way to draw attention to what I believe will be an incredible way to experience our story when it comes out next summer.”

Once again, Memphis, the great vacuum of anything technological is off the list... I can hear the banjo players tuning up as i bemoan...
I see the Midland blindness FACT strikes again, that world ends at Walford and begins again at Manchester which mean travelling 120 miles to see it as usual. What's wrong with the IMAX Birmingham, or IMAX Cardiff for our Welsh cousins as well?
IMAX Liverpool ONE was advertising it as being shown there as well. Glad I hadn't booked my tickets yet.
I see they completely left out all of Nevada. We have an Imax in Reno and in Las Vegas, bummer! Well to the rest of you that have a chance to see it, right on...I guess I will have to wait for the movie to actually come out in theaters...
It will be on the interent within a couple days after it's release - I'll wait for that...
This means I have an extra 6 minutes to get my popcorn when I go see MI, great news
Nice one, just had it confirmed it is showing in my nearest IMAX. I'll head over, watch the 6 minutes then go buy my popcorn and wait for Skyfall to watch a proper spy franchise.
Well looks like I may have to go to MOSI in order to see it. Glad to have the option to see it here in Tampa plus it's an excuse to go to MOSI which is cool in and of itself... or I may just wait until it shows up on the internet.
AWESOME!
