The Avengers 3: Infinity War appears to be gearing up to become the most widely acclaimed and best film in the series as the upcoming project will be filmed entirely using IMAX cameras. Taking over the reins from highly sought after director, Joss Whedon, Joe and Anthony Russo are now making waves in terms of bringing in the hype for the third Avengers movie. In an unprecedented move, the new directors opted to go all out in the filming of Infinity War and announced their collaboration with the IMAX creators, as reported in Breathe Cast.
The Avengers 3: Infinity War will be filmed "using IMAX and ARRI's next generation revolutionary 2D digital camera - a joint customized digital version of ARRI's new large format camera, the Alexa 65." In a press release from IMAX, the company announced that the "two-part Avengers saga marks the first time a Hollywood feature film will have been shot completely using IMAX cameras and will feature IMAX's exclusive aspect ratio, providing moviegoers a uniquely immersive experience."
"The IMAX 3D release of Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War - Parts 1 & 2 will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology," the company wrote. "The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie," it added.
Meanwhile, the Russo brothers shared in a joint statement that the decision to go all out for this project was inspired by their desire to feature "an incredible climax" in the storyline of the franchise. "The intent with the Infinity War films is to bring ten years of accumulative storytelling to an incredible climax," they shared. "We felt that the best way to exploit the scale and scope required to close out the final chapter of these three phases, was to be the first films shot entirely on the IMAX/Arri Digital camera," the directors added.
IMAX CEO Greg Foster also gave his insights regarding the exciting project. He shared that the company "has had the incredible good fortune to work with some of the world's finest, most talented filmmakers, who continue to push the envelope both technically and creatively." He then went on to reveal that they are excited to work with the Russo brothers whom he described as "a pair of filmmakers we believe are next-generation trailblazers." He then added, "Marvel's Avengers franchise has become a global phenomenon and to have it pay off in this epic way using the IMAX/ARRI digital camera is the very definition of event movie-going."
