The Blu-ray version of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight being released today (Tuesday) will not contain a longer cut of the movie or deleted scenes as many such video releases do, Nolan has told the website AintItCoolNews. Nolan said that he took an "aggressive editorial approach" to the movie, demanding that every scene have at least three purposes. The result, he said, is that each scene in the movie is essential and cannot be removed. The Blu-ray version, he also indicated, will resemble the IMAX theatrical version in which the scenes shot with IMAX cameras expand. (The Dark Knight is scheduled to return to IMAX screens on January 23.) Nolan told the AintItCoolNews interviewer that he wants to shoot an entire film in IMAX if he can resolve some of the problems inherent in the giant screen process, especially the noisy cameras that require dialogue to be rerecorded in post production. The answer, he suggested, may be a hybrid technique in which all silent scenes are shot with IMAX cameras and all scenes with dialogue are shot with conventional big-screen 65mm cameras.
