Christian Bale Reviews, Interviews & More
Another day, another few morsels of The Dark Knight Rises news to parse over and obsess about and pass the time for the next two weeks before the film’s official release: Warner Bros. has released both the official plot synopsis and running time for the massively anticipated new film.
During last month’s 2012 MTV Movie Awards, Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt appeared in order to debut new footage from the insanely anticipated The Dark Knight Rises. Unfortunately the footage was pulled offline almost as quickly as it appeared online—meaning that if you didn’t subject yourself to the horrors of...
We're three weeks away from the release of The Dark Knight Rises, and we still don't know that much about Catwoman, as played by Anne Hathaway. We do know that the Christopher Nolan film is one of the last hopes for a great movie this summer, and we can't wait to see what he's cooked up. But for a better look at the Cat, check out the latest TV spot.
Just one month out from the official release of The Dark Knight Rises, one thing fans weren’t expecting was a brand new full-length trailer for the film. After all, we received what was supposed to be the “final” Dark Knight Rises trailer back in early May. So, let’s just consider ourselves lucky, and bask in Nokia’s new trailer for The Dark Knight...
As the countdown to the July 20 premiere of The Dark Knight Rises continues, the onslaught of semi-spoilery Dark Knight Rises TV spots marches onward. Continuing the trend of revealing more and more of the film via TV spots rather than trailers, the newest TV spot features all-new footage of “The Bat” (essentially, the Bat-Plane), Anne Hathway’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman,...
As we inch ever closer to the July 20th release date of The Dark Knight Rises (and our inner fanboys continue to riot), we’ll take any bit of TDKR news that we can get our greedy hands on—including the dark, funereal soundtrack. Or, rather, the first 30 seconds to every song on said soundtrack.
The marketing campaign for The Dark Knight Rises has certainly been a fascinating one, as it’s seemingly broken all the traditional rules—first, the trailers were ambiguous and revealed very little (imagine that—a modern trailer that doesn’t spoil the film); second, the theatrical poster was, well, crap; third, the TV spots, normally 30 second bits of recycled trailer footage,...
Despite being one of the most anticipated action films of, well, ever, The Dark Knight Rises’ print ad campaign seems to be taking a decidedly laid back route, in terms of quality. First, we had the Wal-Mart quality photoshopped horror of the final theatrical poster, now we have six new banners that look like they were pieced together in about 10 minutes each. One would think...
The TV spot—normally they’re just brutally edited ‘Greatest Hits’ versions of a film’s trailer, 30 seconds of explosions and one-liners… Unless, of course, it’s a Dark Knight Rises TV spot, in which case you get a bevy of all new footage. That’s right: forgoing the usual route of offering up the best of their previous trailers, The Dark Knight Rises’ two...
So the latest poster for The Dark Knight Rises didn't really impress. But Warner Brothers and Christopher Nolan aren't done hitting you with new posters - we've got six additional posters to fill cinema lobbies and fanboys' bedrooms with images of Christian Bale as Batman, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane.
Welcome to the exact moment when The Dark Knight Rises ceased to be cool (even if it’s only for just a moment)—the release of a badly photoshopped final poster for the film. Looking like something you’d find for about $6.99 at Wal-Mart or Toys “R” Us, the final one-sheet for The Dark Knight Rises seems more like something directed towards your eight year old...
Sponsored by IMAX and Mountain Dew (apparently people still drink that?), Warner Bros. is launching a unique The Dark Knight Rises promotional tour—they’re taking The Tumbler (a.k.a., the Batmobile) and the Bat-Pod (a.k.a., Batman’s motorcycle) on a cross-country tour of the United States. Want to completely geek out and touch Batman’s ride? Well, Bat-nerds,...
One of the long-running rumors concerning the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises is that the character played by Marion Cotillard, Miranda Tate, would in fact be Talia al Ghul. Fans familiar with the Batman comics will recognize Talia as the daughter of Ra’s al Ghul, whom Liam Neeson portrayed in Batman Begins (and who will appear via flashbacks in...
Remember those halcyon days, before the megabuzz about The Avengers, or the slew of trailers for Prometheus, when The Dark Knight Rises was the only film of summer 2012 that mattered? Well, things of have become a little more complicated since then, but not anymore—the third and final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is officially the most dramatic,...
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...
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.
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...
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...
Well, this is probably not going to go over well—it seems that Christian Bale (who doesn’t exactly seem like the kind of guy you want to push around—was “roughed up by Chinese government-backed guards” while the actor was on a visit to Beijing. Apparently the guards have yet to see American Psycho.
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. ...
