One of my friends is an extra in the movie, he's a short swat extra who gets into a fight with Batman, during the filming the people on set told him 'not to look into christian bales eyes so he wouldn't get upset' and various other things.

Bale is such a fuck rofl.

damn

why is bale such a dingleberry. id like to see a movie directed by David O. Russell, starring Daniel-Day Lewis as a paraplegic Apache Indian and Bale as John Connor post-menopausal

A missing nuclear physicist can't be a good thing, I assume... Probably something to do with Bane's "doomsday device" as seen in the leaked pics.....

The opening piece of footage from the promo suggests that District Attorney Harvey Dent, who became Two Face in The Dark Knight, remains clear of the crimes he committed. Not good news for Batman who took the fall in his place.

“I knew Harvey Dent. I was his friend. And it will be a very long time before someone inspires us the way he did,” says Commissioner Gordon in a rerun of Dent's funeral eulogy.

“Congratulations, you got yourself caught. Now what's the next step of your masterplan?” says a CIA agent. “Crashing this plane,” replies Bane, being entirely serious.

He's certainly got the mystery of Keyser Söze given that the intelligence agencies seem to know very little about him. He's also pretty keen to hunt down the one man who might betray him.

“If I pull that off will you die?” asks the CIA operative, suggesting not much is known even about Bane's mask. “It would be extremely painful,” Bane replies.

“Have we started the fire?” asks one of Bane's henchman when he is asked to sacrifice his life. “The fire rages,” replies the crafty criminal.

If shock waves could actually travel across the Internet then that's exactly what happened when the first image of Anne Hathaway's Catwoman was released. First impressions on seeing it on the big screen suggest that was an overreaction.

..Hathaway only breezes across the screen for a second in her cowl but in a superhero series that edges towards realism she looks the part. She also gets a more sombre moment with a moody, troubled stare from the back of a moving car. Dare we say it's a bit Girl With A Cat Tattoo...

Our friends over at /Film got a chance to talk to director Christopher Nolan recently about The Dark Knight Rises and talked to him about the IMAX aspect of the film. I loved all the the IMAX scenes in The Dark Knight, it just brought an incredible epic feeling to those scenes. I actually prefer full on IMAX viewing than I do that silly 3D gimmick that is currently popular in Hollywood.

Nolan told them that this "film is very special to him and that the 70mm IMAX presentation replicates the magic of going to movies from his childhood." They then asked Nolan how much of the film was actually shot in IMAX this time around, and the director said that the movie will "likely have around 50 minutes of IMAX shot-and-projected footage." How freakin' cool is that!? That is double the amount of IMAX time in The Dark Knight.

The site goes on to give you a little perspective on this adding some details such as...

- In addition to the opening 6-minute Joker introduction, there was another 20-or-so minutes of IMAX footage in The Dark Knight.

- Brad Bird’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol has 23-minutes of IMAX-shot footage.

I've read a few reviews today on the prologue that was screened recently, and from what everyone is hearing is was absolutely incredible! /Film went on to say that,

The director told me that he shot as much as the movie as he could with the IMAX cameras regardless of the issues it presents. Filmmakers have been wary to use IMAX cameras during close-up sequences due to the extremely loud noise caused by camera. Any dialogue-featured footage shot with an IMAX camera surely needs ADR (the actors need to rerecord the dialogue to tape again in post production).

So is it expensive to shoot stuff in IMAX or just not worth the time? It really bothered me when watching The Dark Knight on Blu-ray and it would go from letterbox to fullscreen which I guess was the IMAX and then back.

The IMAX parts looked amazing though, would be awesome if the whole movie was that way.

Basically. There's only so many IMAX cameras out there. Forgot the actual number, but Catwoman's stunt driver destroyed one during filming. Plus they're really loud so they prefer not to use them while filming scenes with dialogue. IIRC these cameras were on loan from James Cameron actually..... (Or maybe that was Transformers 3, can't remember...)

[Salodin]

With all the technology in the world they can't make less noisy/more portable/less expensive versions of these cameras? I don't get what's so hard bout using them, it's not like they haven't been out for forever and a day. Wrong thread for this, but eh, kinda irritating like Arrmani said...

If it ain't broke...
