Where Can You See 'The Dark Knight Rises' Prologue With 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol' On December 16?
/Film readers were the first to know a 6-minute prologue to The Dark Knight Rises would be appearing exclusively in front of IMAX prints of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. It was then revealed the prologue wouldn't be at all IMAX locations showing Brad Bird's film, just the 70mm ones, which cuts the number down drastically. Warner Bros. has finally fessed up to the fact that this is happening and they've released a full list of theaters that will be showing the prologue to Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated film.
Let's not short change Mission: Impossible though. Bird shot upwards of 30 minutes of his film in IMAX and is releasing it exclusively in that format five days before any normal theater can show it. It's a big part of the movie and the best way to see it. So, odds are, you are going to want to click below, find the theater closest to you and buy your tickets as soon as possible. I know I will.
There are only 42 screens in North America and 4 in the UK (where it opens on December 21) that will be showing The Dark Knight Rises prologue with Mission: Impossible and here's what Nolan had to say:
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.
