Here's How the 'Inhumans' Producers and IMAX Crafted the Marvel Series for the Big Screen
The first network show of the fall to debut is getting a massive launch. Starting on Friday, September 1 (with a late-night preview on Thursday, August 30), ABC’s Inhumans will have a limited run of a truncated version of the first two hours of the series at IMAX movie theaters. (An expanded version of the two-hour pilot will air on ABC on Friday, September 29.)
The latest series from Marvel television was crafted with this bigger-screen run in mind. “As with most of our projects, we’re hoping to have something that’s so big that it can’t be contained to a television screen,” Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb said in the video below.
“The way we designed the sets were all about scope and big, and the locations we scoured [were, too],” added pilot director Roel Reiné. And the working relationship with IMAX was collaborative. “I asked IMAX for even wider lenses, so they built a special lens for our show, so we could be even wider in the things we’ve done.”
