Dark Knight Arrives Early At Palisades Center IMAX

The IMAX Theatre at Palisades Center has been granted exclusive rights in this New York/New Jersey area to show the Dark Knight Rises Prologue — the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy — one of the most anticipated films of 2012.

No other theatre will be showing this exciting movie sequence, unveiled exclusively in the IMAX Theatre at Palisades Center mall in West Nyack, at midnight Dec. 15.

IMAX Theatre at Palisades Center has also been granted exclusive early
release of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, starring Tom Cruise, five
days earlier than any other movie theater, therefore ticket holders will be
able to experience both The Dark Knight Rises Prologue only at IMAX
Palisades beginning Dec. 15. IMAX Palisades will continue to be the
only theatre showing Dark Knight Rises Prologue throughout the run of
Mission Impossible. Tickets are now on sale at www.imax.com/palisades and at
the Box Office on the 4th floor of the Palisades Center Mall.

In making the 2008 blockbuster “The Dark Knight,” Nolan was the first to use
IMAX® cameras in a major motion picture release, and, as now, audiences were
given an advance look at that film’s Prologue months prior to the Summer
opening. Nolan employed the extremely high-resolution cameras even more
extensively on “The Dark Knight Rises”—including the film’s Prologue—to
achieve unprecedented crispness and clarity and a truly immersive experience
for the moviegoers. The Prologue has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for “some
violence.”

Christopher Nolan stated, “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 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.”

Opening on July 20, 2012, “The Dark Knight Rises” features an international
all-star cast, led by Oscar® winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) in the
dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Anne Hathaway, as
Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en
Rose”), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Reprising
their roles from both “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight,” Oscar® winner
Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is
Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar
Baby”) plays Lucius Fox.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL

This holiday season, two-time Academy Award-winner Brad Bird directs, with
producers Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams, the action-packed spy adventure

Blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Ethan Hunt is
disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the President initiates
“Ghost Protocol”. Left without any resources or backup, Ethan must find a
way to clear his agency’s name and prevent another attack. To complicate
matters further, Ethan is forced to embark on this mission with a team of
fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not fully know.

Tom Cruise returns in the starring role as Ethan Hunt and is joined by an
international cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton,
Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor and Léa
