Yesterday we got to check out some pictures on the BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE set that confirmed Zack Snyder was shooting the scene where 2/3 of the Wayne family meet their demise. While shooting continues in The Windy City, Chicago native Mike Eisenberg took to Twitter to confirm that IMAX cameras were in use for the pivotal scene, as well as outlining some troubles production was having in regards to adapting them to the colder weather.
Take a look:
Lots of people waiting in cold to watch scene film, but it looked like the IMAX cameras were not handling the cold well. Could be a while.

I can confirm with my own eyes that Batman vs Superman is filming at least the Wayne murder scene with full IMAX film cameras.

Follow up on last night: Batman vs Superman has multiple IMAX cameras and they aren't working right because of the cold. Welcome to Chicago.

With the news that J.J. Abrams' STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS had a scene shot in IMAX, and Christopher Nolan championing the format, I'm curious to see if more of these epic films will take advantage of it. As anyone who has seen INTERSTELLAR or MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL in IMAX can attest to, it makes the difference!
BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE will be released on March 25, 2016.
