Just in case the mysterious teaser trailer, the adrenalized full trailer, or eight minute preview of the opening scene weren’t enough, The Dark Knight Rises is getting a new full trailer—and it’s going to premiere and run with a new little flick called The Avengers.
We’re ramping up into full on geek more here at ScreenCrave, as six—count ‘em, six—new images from The Dark Knight Rises have just been released via Entertainment Weekly. Want to see Batman playing on what looks like a high-tech iPad (a BatPat?… ugh, forgive me), Bane crashing a stock exchange, Bruce Wayne with graying hair (TDKR takes place eight years after the events in The Dark Knight), or Catwoman in full uniform? We’ve got ‘em all after the jump—same Bat time, same Bat ch—ugh, again, seriously, forgive me.
As the days continue to slowly, oh so slowly, crawl onward to the July 20, 2012 release date of Christopher Nolan’s third and final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, will take any news leak we can get when it comes to the hyper-anticipated new film. Case in point: The Dark Knight Rises’ concept artist Tully Summers recently spoke out about the design of the new film, and how Nolan has crafted a movie that is not so much a comic book movie as it is “a war film.”
As the countdown to the July premiere of the final Christopher Nolan Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, continues to loom over us, we here at ScreenCrave get more and more excited with each passing day, consuming every bit of Batty news that we can find. Today’s news bit? Christian Bale talking about letting go of the character of Batman/Bruce Wayne after eight years.
Anyone who regularly reads ScreenCrave knows that we’re chomping at the bit for the massively anticipated new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, which is not only the final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, but is also poised to be one of the biggest blockbusters in recent memory. So far, we know the film takes place eight years after The Dark Knight, and features Bane and Catwoman as the primary villains. Well, now we know something else: one of the performers in the film let it slip who his/her/it’s (trying to avoid spoilers above the jump!) character was, and it’s a doozy of a villain from the classic Batman comics. Curious who it is? Dig in after the jump.
Unless you’ve been living in a cave lately (maybe in a…Batcave? Oh, I’ll be here all week, ladies and gentlemen. Take my wife, please), you’ve seen, either in an IMAX theater or on YouTube, the now infamous opening scene (a mid-air airplane heist/kidnapping) to Christopher Nolan’s wildly anticipated final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. Curious how it came into being, or what in the hell was it that the Bane character mumbled behind that breathing apparatus of his? Christopher’s younger brother, The Dark Knight Rises screenwriter Jonathan Nolan, has a few answers.
As we wait impatiently for the new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises, Entertainment Weekly has a cover story on the film – which is still deep in post-production – and Christopher Nolan is repeating what has been the modus operandi with the movie since day one: This is his last Batman film no if’s, and’s or huge paychecks. Check out a quote from Christopher Nolan and the new pictures of Christian Bale, Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy…
This weekend, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol premiered the opening sequence of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, and offered the film’s theatrical trailer. Currently the opening sequence is still only in certain Imax theaters, but the trailer is now online, and offers glimpses at new cast members Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, along with returning cast members Gary Oldman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine. Check it out…
Well, this should whip the fanboys into a frenzy—last night in Los Angeles, Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan screened the first eight minutes of the wildly anticipated The Dark Knight Rises to an audience of entertainment press. I’ll keep the spoilers at bay until after the jump, but suffice to say, the character of Bane is given a highly memorable entrance. UPDATE: Nolan will be screening the intro in various locations around the world next week; find the screening dates/locations here!
