Christopher Nolan’s upcoming World War II movie Dunkirk will be released later this month and it’s getting the largest 70mm format release in nearly 25 years.
Deadline reports that instead of filming in digital, Nolan’s Dunkirk was filmed on IMAX 65mm film.
Nolan’s Dunkirk focuses on one World War II battle in 1940 between the Allies (later the United Nations) and Nazi Germany.
Dunkirk was filmed on the IMAX 65mm film and will be printed on 70mm film for projection in theaters, a common practice throughout Hollywood’s history.
