List of IMAX Theaters Playing the Prologue to The Dark Knight Rises

Late last month, a rumor began circulating on the internet that an extended prologue to director Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR), would be playing in front of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows when it opens on Dec. 16th. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, but WB has revealed that an extended prologue will be released "with select 70mm IMAX prints" of a different movie, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, which also opens on Dec. 16th. The press release included a full list of IMAX theaters playing the prologue, as well as a short message from Nolan.

Our experience on The Dark Knight shooting and projecting IMAX 15 perf 65mm/70mm film was inspiring. The immersive quality of the image goes beyond any other filmmaking tool available, and in revisiting Gotham, we were determined to shoot even more of the movie in this unique format. Giving the fans an early look at an IMAX sequence is a great way to draw attention to what I believe will be an incredible way to experience our story when it comes out next summer.
