Villeneuve previously shared that he filmed a large portion of the third movie using large-format 70mm film and IMAX cameras.

He explained that much of the movie was filmed using IMAX film – a first for him. However, he chose to keep the desert scenes digital, preferring the harsh, realistic look that digital IMAX provides.

He went on to describe the IMAX cameras as “epic” and “the best cameras in the world”.

He explained that seeing the final result was incredible and unlike anything else. He found the experience to be truly unique and hoped to repeat it, calling it the most immersive format he’d ever encountered.

He explained that cinema is an art form designed to transport audiences and allow them to experience things beyond their everyday lives. Ultimately, he believes sharing experiences is a fundamental part of being human.
