Key Scenes in 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Have Been Shot in IMAX
A steady stream of what might for some be inconsequential news on Star Wars: The Last Jedi has been coming in over the last few weeks. The latest is one that's becoming common play in blockbuster films. Disney and IMAX have teamed for some key sequences in the eighth Star Wars picture, so that said scenes will hit screens in the famous high-resolution cameras of IMAX.
A press release reveals, though, that this is only the tip of a pretty neat iceberg. The two companies have announced an extension to their “multi-faceted agreement with a new multi-picture deal — beginning this year and extending through 2019 — that includes the much-anticipated live-action and animated tentpole releases from Disney, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm."
Some of the key films to look to for IMAX's involvement is the untitled Indiana Jones film, the Han Solo Star Wars story, The Last Jedi of course - as well as Episode IX -, Black Panther, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel, Beauty and the Beast, A Wrinkle in Time, and Mulan. Also included are Pixar's The Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, and Wreck-It Ralph 2.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters December 15, and it might be worth checking out on the big IMAX screen for a few extra dollars.
