Ferrari IMAX film in production
Click to view the Ferrari IMAX shoot in hi-res
The folks at IMAX have been responsible for turning out some pretty darn spectacular panoramic cinematic masterpieces, capturing nature's wonders from the depths of the ocean to the reaches of outer space. The production crews are now focusing their complex lenses on the earth's paved surfaces to capture some of mankind's most dazzling mechanical creations.
Maranello released these three images of a helicopter buzzing over Fiorano's surface, revealing only that they're shooting an IMAX special on Ferrari that will form one of the main attractions at the Ferrari theme park opening next year in Abu Dhabi. And here we thought Ferrari was shifting to aerospace. Oh well, one more reason to FedEx ourselves to the Emirates next year.

Dear god I hope they release this in regular IMAX theaters and not just at the theme park. I know they probably won't, because most people wouldn't go to a movie theater just to see cars driving, but those cars on that screen with those speakers...I would almost cry.

I remember watching "Super Speedway" at an IMAX which followed the Indy/CART racing, particularly Michael Andretti. That film was incredible just for the sites and sounds.

My heart suddenly thumped harder than it usually does when I heard the Ferrari California V8 a couple of days ago... Wow

Insane profits??? That's a bit of a stretch... I think Snutz had it right... and most people wont pay to go see cars driving around except the small % of crazy enthusiasts... myself included.

I would give a lot to be able to see that movie in an IMAX Dome, on those bazillion watt sound systems they've got going on. Oh man, the mind reels.

I wonder if the movie will include burning 599s? I'm just kidding! I'm with Snutz: I hope it comes to theaters worldwide.

PLEASE EVERYONE this is NOT an IMAX produced film, nor will it be seen in IMAX theatres! This is totally misleading and is NOT an IMAX film.
