F1: The Movie Cast And Crew Sing IMAX's Praises In New BTS Featurette

Universal has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for F1®: The Movie. In it, director Joseph Kosinski discusses shooting with IMAX cameras.

When the pandemic happened and the entire movie theater industry had to come to terms with streaming, one of the ways the industry could survive was by leaning into more niche experiences that could not be replicated with even the best home theater setup. IMAX is the one that most people know about and the one that people seek out. The massive screens and booming sound are unmatched. Personally, I've gotten vertigo twice in a movie theater, and it was during IMAX screenings. It seems like the people making the films are pretty into the ideas, as we've seen more and more movies shot in IMAX cameras. In a new behind-the-scenes featurette for F1®: The Movie, we learned a little more about director Joseph Kosinski's techniques and the technology they used to shoot those rather impressive-looking races.
