Different versions, different lines - IMAX, Iphone, 2D

Rami Malek said in a recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live that they had to film each scene 3 times, once for normal cameras, once for IMAX and once for iPhone!

This is unbelieveable and obviously, it would be impossible to film your lines exactly the same each time.

Having seen NTTD twice, once in IMAX and once in regular 2D, I believe there are indeed some differences in the lines spoken by the actors/actresses, in particular by the scientist (David Dencik), Bond and Safin.

These scenes spring to mind:

  • Where Dencik is explaining how M doesn't understand Hercules.
  • When Bond tells Nomi to blow it all up if he doesn't come back.
  • Safin's long dialogue at their meeting in the lair.

Anyone agree?

    This seems like a huge and needless expense. elsewhere we've also been told three separate endings were filmed, the two unused being locked away in a topsecret vault.

    If true, would they include all three on the dvd? the IMAX version might not be, if its intended specifically to be seen in a vast theatre, not many have IMAX screens at home.

    How would the iPhone version work? Do owners of the dvd have to choose? actually, what would make most sense, at least programming-wise, is for online streaming to have a bit of "device detected" code, just like many websites do (actually I think such code is looking for screen dimensions), and automatically make that choice for the customer. In which case the iPhone version might also not be included in the dvd. Budget-wise that seems completely irrational, but since many folks do watch movies on their phone these days, its an interesting idea to release a different edit customised to that medium.
