The film was shot partially in VistaVision, a widescreen format that runs 35mm film horizontally through the camera to create 8 perforation film frames, twice the size and resolution of standard four perforation 35mm. Though starting with
Star Wars (1977) VistaVision has continued to see limited use to create high resolution plates for visual effect shots, its use as the primary capture format in cinema faded after the 1960's. While it was initially reported that this film would be the first film since to be shot in the format since
One-Eyed Jacks (1961) 63 years prior, it was ultimately beaten to the punch by the film
The Brutalist (2024).
