The new Chris Nolan film The Odyssey will be the first full outing for the new, modernised film cameras.
, based on the classic Greek mythic story and will be filmed with “new IMAX film technology”. What exactly this is has not been officially confirmed but most are speculating that this refers to the new film cameras that IMAX has publicly said it’s been working on for the last few years.
Details of these new cameras were first revealed as far back as March 2024, in a live panel session at the NAB 2024 conference, which isThe headline feature is that the cameras will be 30% quieter and will be lighter thanks to a carbon fiber construction. This is primarily good news for the shoulders of Hoyte van Hoytema, Nolan’s cinematographer since 2014’sLighter, quieter IMAX film cameras will enable directors to increase the number of shots they can use them for.
Markoe also revealed that the camera displays will also show frame lines for the native 1.43:1 IMAX film format and also IMAX 1.90:1 and standard 2.40:1. Of course other aspect ratios are available and the display can be set up lines for whatever ratio is preferred. The new cameras promise even greater film exposure stability and greater reliability. Marko said that internally the film camera movement is unchanged from the original design. IMAX realized that there was nothing they could improve on, which is impressive since they were designed 25 years ago.In the video, Markoe also reveals the fascinating statistic that despite only 1.5% of theatres worldwide showing Interstellar in IMAX, it brought in 20% of the film’s revenue.
I also hold out hope that there will be more to this new technology than the cameras. In the presentation, there are hints that Kodak might be introducing some new type of film stock in 2025. As the large format film photographer Tyler Sheilds, says on the panel, the future of cinema needs to be “daring, bold and interesting.
