Mann et son directeur photo Stuart Dryburgh ont utilisé la Alexa XT comme camera numérique 4K principale et la Red Scarlet/Epic pour avoir une caméra plus petite et compacte sur certaines séquences.
“Michael likes to have his cinematographer work with different cameras because he wants different looks,” Sonnefeld adds. “He’s more concerned with the overall energy of he film; he’s not so precious about matching everything.
“I think [Mann’s approach] can be much more powerful,” he continues. “It depends on the piece, of course, but sometimes when shots are too close and consistent, it can get a little sterile and in a way feel less realistic. Sometimes images go together powerfully in the dramatic context of a scene or a whole movie but don’t necessarily match scientifically. Michael doesn’t just say, ‘Brighten this scene.’ He’ll say, ‘The character’s really angry at this point, so how can we help convey this with contrast and color?’ That’s why it’s always so interesting and enjoyable working with him.”

Conférence de presse :
Premier avis sur le film :
"I was invited to the pre screening in San Francisco (Silicon Valley) with a bunch of Security Engineers to watch Blackhat. Chris Hemsworth, Michael Mann, Tang Wei, and Leehom Wang came to that screening and did a small get together to hang out with the cast afterwards.
Blackhat is the best movie that showcased realism in cyber threats. I won't spoil it, but the methods of hacking in that movie was realistic. The crowd full of hackers were clapping many times in those scenes. They actually used real terminals, Ubuntu (I think), they used actual commands! Even the way he was discovering stuff was real. Michael Mann said the movie was inspired by StuxNet virus.
Chris Hemsworth played the role of the hacker very well. The hacker lang was used by him was smooth. The way he looked at the screen and how he typed couldn't have been better, reminded me of myselfThey used the word "Code" a lot which wasn't normal in hack speak, the word "Exploit", "Vulnerability" would have been better, but as Michael Mann stated the audience should understand it
I wish it was more focused on hacking and the process, but at the end of the day it is an action movie
The opening CGI is awesome too, pay attention to the level of details. Guess what it is? Michael Mann explained how they did it, it is Schematics and 3D Model of the an 7 year old Qualcomm chipse
I shared the image of Chris Hemsworth and I on Twitter, his personality is great. More people like him would make the world a better place. He stays out of social media accounts, and focuses on his family and career. Nice fellow, and goofy too
