Read about the ALEXA Camera giving 26% More Image on IMAX Screens for the release of Sully: Miracle On The Hudson


17 November 2016

Ahead of the release of Sully: Miracle on the Hudson, IMAX have released some background information on the new IMAX ALEXA 65 camera used in the film to increase the aspect ratio when seeing the film in IMAX.

Continuing the trend of leading filmmakers incorporating IMAX DNA into their films to provide moviegoers a truly unique experience, Clint Eastwood captured Sully almost entirely with the new ALEXA IMAX® 65mm camera (95% of the film shot with IMAX® cameras). To find out more about the IMAX camera used in Sully please see this Behind The Frame featurette.

Exclusively in IMAX® cinemas, the entire film will expand vertically to fill more of the IMAX screen – delivering 26% more of the image than standard cinemas – for greater scope and breathtaking image quality to create a truly unique and immersive experience.

Aspect Ratio Breakdown
Aspect ratio is the technical term for the proportional relationship between an image’s width and its height. Most films today are presented in an aspect ratio called CinemaScope (2.40:1). When a film is presented in CinemaScope, it is cropped and uses only part of the image the movie camera captures. This is the reason most ordinary screens are very wide but not particularly high.

IMAX provides filmmakers with the ability to use an expanded aspect ratio for the IMAX presentation of their film during production through filming with the extremely high-resolution IMAX® camera.

 

 

From Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood (“American Sniper,” “Million Dollar Baby”) comes drama “Sully: Miracle On The Hudson”, starring Oscar winner Tom Hanks (“Bridge of Spies,” “Forrest Gump”) as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.

On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.

“Sully” also stars Aaron Eckhart (“Olympus Has Fallen,” “The Dark Knight”) as Sully’s co-pilot, Jeff Skiles, and Oscar nominee Laura Linney (“The Savages,” “Kinsey,” Showtime’s “The Big C”) as Sully’s wife, Lorraine Sullenberger.

Eastwood is directing the film from a screenplay by Todd Komarnicki, based on the book Sully: My Search For What Really Matters by Sullenberger and Jeffrey Zaslow. The project is being produced by Eastwood, Frank Marshall, Allyn Stewart and Tim Moore, with Kipp Nelson and Bruce Berman serving as executive producers.

The film reunites Eastwood with several of his longtime collaborators, who most recently worked with the director on the worldwide hit “American Sniper”: director of photography Tom Stern and production designer James J. Murakami, who were both Oscar-nominated for their work on “The Changeling”; costume designer Deborah Hopper; and editor Blu Murray.
