This Friday, the Hollywood science fiction giant “Dune” will be unveiled in more than 720 IMAX theaters across the country. It is called the “hardest to be adapted” science fiction classic about to be launched on the IMAX screen.
“”Dune” was created for the IMAX big screen from the beginning.” The film director Dennis Villeneuve once said frankly. In the past half-century, the sci-fi IP “Sand Dune” of the “Master Class” has been the heart of several generations of Hollywood filmmakers. For Villeneuve, who is regarded as the “new godfather of science fiction movies,” it is his long-cherished wish to bring this grand classic of science fiction literature onto the screen.
The director Villeneuve did not deny that “Dune” is the most ambitious film he has ever made. For such a dream-fulfilling film with all his hard work, Villeneuve thought from the beginning of production that the IMAX gene should be deeply rooted. In the film, whether it is the immersive atmosphere of IMAX, the exquisite and exciting audio-visual effects, or the one-hour IMAX exclusive frame with 26% more screen content than the standard version, it is the delivery of “Dune 》An excellent medium for unique aesthetics, and thus created Villeneuve’s unique IMAX screen aesthetic “paradox”-“the wider the scene, the more intimate the characters”.
“Let the frame of the movie disappear”: the depth of immersion of the exclusive frame for over 1 hour
“Dune”, created with huge investment and craftsmanship, is evaluated as “every frame is a work of art”, which can only be fully appreciated on the IMAX big screen. For the director, the visual conception of “Dune” has been in his childhood when he was obsessed with the original novel, and his understanding and enthusiasm for “Dune” can be compared with Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings”. As the “Sea King” Jason Momoa who worked with him said: “He has conceived this movie in his mind all his life.”
The world view of the original “Dune” is complex and full of imagination, and director Villeneuve’s response to this difficult challenge is to use as many real-time shooting as possible and use IMAX technology to create an immersive experience. . The director constructed a nearly perfect world view in his dream work, which is meticulous and faithful to the original work. From the forms of sandworms and “spices” to the brain structures of flapping wing machines and distillation suits, they are all repeatedly polished, “Dune” All of the props, creatures, weapons, ships, and buildings show amazingly rich details and high-level sense. In order to perfectly present the main scene of Dune Planet, Villeneuve led a huge crew and starring crew to the desert hinterland of Jordan for shooting, and built a spectacular building in the sand sea that looked like a fortress in the film. Nearly half of the movie was featured in the movie. The shooting in the desert was completed, and I gained an unparalleled sense of reality.
Villeneuve once interpreted the experience of practicing IMAX in an interview: “I originally thought that IMAX is mainly about the size of the screen, but it is not the case. The essence of IMAX is the sense of immersion, and the resulting closer relationship with the audience. IMAX Not only is the viewing range wide, but the “frame” of the movie disappears, allowing the audience to enter the movie world more deeply. The immersive experience can make the audience feel closer to the character.”
