THE ORIGINAL 1930′s INSPIRATION FOR THE DARK KNIGHT

Screen Shot 2012-07-21 at 23.57.10

I randomly stumbled across this six minute clip reel, for 1930's talkie film, The Bat Whispers. It was one of the first films to adopt the experimental 70mm widescreen format similar to what you would see in an IMAX cinema today. But ultimately was shelved in 1932, due to the massive budget cuts around the time of the Great Depression. It also made an impression on a young 15 year old, by the name of Bob Kane, later inspiring him to create the iconic character Batman. This Bat-man however is one … [Read more...]

NOLAN’S OPEN LETTER TO THE VICTIMS OF THE COLORADO SHOOTINGS

dark knight rises - nolan letter

Here is, director of the Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan's heartfelt open letter to the victims of the horrendous cinema shooting in Aurora, Colorado earlier today: Speaking on behalf of the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the senseless tragedy that has befallen the entire Aurora community.

13 MINUTE DARK KNIGHT RISES HD FEATURETTE

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - Warner Bros. Pictures & © DC Comics

A new 13 minute featurette has been released by Warner Bros. for the upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises, due on July 20th. The film will have a lengthy running time of 2 hrs 45 min, so remember not to order that super sized drink with your popcorn, otherwise you'll need endure the embarrassment of pissing yourself in the movie theater. Better yet, think of it in terms of preparing yourself for surgery - don't eat or drink anything for 12 hrs prior to seeing the film. That way you'll guarantee a … [Read more...]

NEW DARK KNIGHT RISES TV SPOT

Paper beats rock!

A new TV spot trailer has been released in japan, showing a bit more of the flying bat vehicle. The soundtrack is dominated by what sounds like a drummer on a rock star coke-binge, drumming so rapidly you'd expect him to have a heart attack once the trailer ends. What ever happened to the classic 'Braaaahm!' sounds from Nolan's other classic Inception? Eight years after Batman took the fall for Two Face's crimes, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight … [Read more...]

DARK KNIGHT RISES TRAILER TO BE SCREENED BEFORE THE AVENGERS

Dark-Knight-Rises-Face-Off

So here is the score. If you want to be one of the first few people to see the Dark Knight Rises full length trailer, you'll need to get your your ass down to the cinema to see The Avengers on April 26th (UK) or May 4th (US). The funny thing is that Dark Knight Rises is a DC comics franchise, while the Avengers is from Marvel. So basically DC has hijacked the publicity of Marvels big summer hit to help it build up buzz for its own release date in the middle of July - smart move DC. I seems … [Read more...]
