NEW
YORK and LOS ANGELES —Thursday, March 17, 2022— IMAX Corporation (NYSE:
IMAX) today announced it has begun development on a new fleet of next
generation IMAX film cameras — building on its more than fifty-year legacy
of innovation to meet growing demand for its technology among a broader and
more diverse group of filmmakers and artists.
In cooperation with Kodak, Panavison,
and FotoKem, IMAX will develop and deploy at least four new,
state-of-the-art film cameras over the next two years — growing its existing
fleet of film cameras by 50% — with the first new camera being put into use
by late 2023.
The Company is working with the world’s most accomplished filmmakers and
cinematographers, including Jordan Peele and Christopher Nolan, to identify
new specs and features for the prototype development phase already underway.
The next release filmed with the current generation of IMAX film cameras and
KODAK 65mm film will be Jordan Peele’s “Nope”, hitting screens on
July 22, 2022, while Christopher Nolan’s
"Oppenheimer" is
currently shooting with IMAX Film Cameras.
“As IMAX grows as a global platform for entertainment and events, we want
to offer more filmmakers, storytellers and artists the opportunity to create
with our unrivalled end-to-end technology,” said Megan Colligan,
President of IMAX Entertainment. “From our connected global network to
IMAX Enhanced for the home, the IMAX Experience provides a more expansive
creative canvas than ever, and these new film cameras will enable a new
generation of creators along with those who already love working with the
cameras a better way to unlock the power of IMAX.”
“IMAX film brings images to life,” said Chris Nolan. “From
resolution and color to sharpness and overall quality, there is nothing
compared to using IMAX film cameras today. Filmmakers and movie fans
worldwide should be thrilled at the prospect of new and improved IMAX film
cameras – I know I am.”
“IMAX is movie magic pushed to its limit,” said Jordan Peele.
“When you see a film in an IMAX theater, it feels like you are there. It's
complete immersion, and there's nothing quite like it. Shooting with the
IMAX Film Cameras gave us a look and feel you can’t get anywhere else. And
we are only at the beginning, there's still so much to be explored in this
format.”
New and improved features being explored for the new IMAX film cameras
include a quieter design and a number of useability enhancements. IMAX’s
existing fleet of cameras and lenses are also undergoing major upgrades as
part of the program. Several industry partners are also joining IMAX in the
initiative to strengthen the global and future support of its film cameras:

Kodak
will offer enhanced technical support and manufacturing of the 65mm film
stock.
Panavision will continue to provide a global network of service and
maintenance for IMAX camera productions worldwide along with new tools and
technical support for the cameras.
FotoKem will work alongside the IMAX camera and post-production
departments to improve production workflows and coordinate lab and post
services.
IMAX film cameras are known for capturing the most detailed, lifelike images
possible, due to its proprietary and unique 15 perf horizontal 65mm frame
size. They are particularly coveted by productions destined for IMAX
theatres capable of presenting film in the 1.43 aspect ratio. The use of
IMAX film cameras and 1.43 aspect ratio is a creative choice made wholly by
filmmakers, who today are further aided by IMAX’s “Filmed for IMAX” program.
The program enables filmmakers to maximize the full potential of The IMAX
Experience throughout testing, production, and post-production – so they may
maximize the unique immersive nature of IMAX cinemas.
Used in documentary filmmaking since 1971’s “North of Superior”, IMAX film
cameras have been to the deepest depths of the oceans, the top of Mount
Everest, and launched into space more than any human being. In 2008,
"The Dark Knight" became the first Hollywood title to use IMAX film
cameras — the first of fourteen Hollywood blockbusters to do so, ranging
from 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” to last year’s
"No Time to Die". The use
of IMAX film cameras is a key driver in IMAX over-indexing on global box
office. In 2021, IMAX captured a record percentage of the global box office
and in 2022 more films than ever before will hit screens filmed with IMAX
film or digital Cameras, or including IMAX-exclusive expanded aspect ratio.
