Could Sony's massive new sensor sway even Christopher Nolan?

The Rialto 65 sensor block will mount on Sony's Venice 2 camera, which currently offers modules based around 50MP and 24MP full-frame fully-stacked sensors. Image: Sony Sony has announced the Rialto 65: a large format sensor module for its Venice 2 cinema camera. The "Rialto" will be built around a 53.75 x 35.83mm sensor, making it comparable in size to the 53.4 x 40mm (essentially 645) sensors its semiconductor division makes for the likes of the Phase One IQ4. More to the point, it's very close in size to the dimensions of the Arri Alexa 65, a rental-only cinema camera used in very high-end Hollywood productions. That has a 54.12 x 25.58mm sensor. The Rialto sensor uses a taller 3:2 aspect ratio than the Arri camera. No details have been given about the pixel count or sensor technology being used, but it's probably safe to say it won't be the high pixel-count, relatively slow readout designs used in the Phase One and Fujifilm's smaller-sensor GFX Eterna cameras.
