Ryan Coogler consulted Christopher Nolan before filming Sinners on IMAX cameras
Christopher Nolan is regarded as one of the legendary filmmakers in Hollywood and is widely known for using IMAX cameras for shooting his films. His latest project, Oppenheimer, was also shot on IMAX cameras and won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Ryan Coogler appeared on The Big Picture podcast on April 17, 2025, to discuss the making of Sinners. During the interview, he also revealed that he consulted Christopher Nolan when the use of IMAX cameras came up. Coogler said:
"For this one, man, I talked to Chris [Nolan] and Emma [Thomas] about the format, when large format became something that we were discussing and thinking about."
He continued:
"He [Chris Nolan] basically told me not to be scared, you know? And don’t let anybody bow down to the camera on set. He acknowledged that it’s an intimidating piece of equipment, you know, and that—because he uses a lot of handheld camerawork in his history, and those cameras, you can’t handhold, the sync-sound cameras."
Nolan advised Coogler to use the IMAX camera like a Super 8 camera, and that the Black Panther director should treat it like a normal camera.
Sinners is now in theaters.
