Interesting. This wouldn’t be surprising if Johnson hadn’t already said he wouldn’t shoot anything in the format. Wonder what changed.
Funny, I never heard about him saying that. Was it before principle photography started in earnest? It may very well have been a last minute decision.
Yeah I believe so. Also, thinking about it, the quote might have been that wouldn’t be shooting 65mm, so perhaps this was just in regards to the fact the film would be mostly 35mm (and perhaps not precluding the possibility of an IMAX scene). It was awhile ago, and I don’t remember where that I read this, so maybe take it with a grain of salt.
