In 2008 I attended the Telluride film festival and found myself sitting next to film producer Bill Pohlad before a screening. I asked him what he was working on and he told me a bit about Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, which is finally coming out this Friday after a lengthy post-production process that ended with a Palme d’Or win at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. He also told me about a companion piece intended for IMAX. As I was talking to him as a film lover and not a journalist, I couldn’t report the story. Luckily, I was able to sit down with him (and Dede Gardner) today for the film’s press junket and finally get something on the record. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.

Director Terrence Malick doesn’t do anything small. He makes epic films, tells epic stories, and while it’s just conjecture on my part, probably refuses to have sex with anyone under the height of seven feet.
With that in mind, he has culled an IMAX Documentary out of his upcoming film “Tree of Life”, a life-spanning story (of the narrative, although I wouldn’t put it past Malick to make a film that actually lasted a lifetime) starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn as father and son trying to forgive each other. A documentary coming out of a movie isn’t anything new but it’s usually something that ends up as a special feature on the DVD. For Terrence Malick, it ends up as an IMAX Documentary.
Hit the jump to learn about the project and how many years you’ll have to set aside if you choose to see it.
