The Dark Knight Reviews, Interviews & More

Every new movie that hits theaters nowadays seems to be a sequel. This year alone there's Kick-Ass 2, Iron Man 3, Despicable Me 2, and Fast and Furious 1000 6. There are so many sequels that we can hardly keep track of them, especially since most of them aren't all that spectacular. Often times, the original movie is the best movie of the bunch. But there...

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar keeps slowly but surely moving right along, as news broke earlier this week that Jessica Chastain would be joining Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway (who previously starred as Selina Kyle in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises) as a member of the cast.  And today, the unsurprising news of a...

Comic book movies. They're everywhere now, and they're the biggest movies of the year. Post-Avengers, which made one and a half  billion dollars worldwide, we're going to be getting more and more of them, as both Marvel and DC have got plans for their futures. So, it's time to take stock, and check back on the best of this genre. (Note: this only pertains to...

After directing some of the most interesting films of the past 15 years (Following, Memento, The Prestige) as well as some of the most successful and zeitgeist-y (The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception), Christopher Nolan has positioned himself as one of the most successful/interesting/frustrating auteurs currently working in film.  So...

While the past few years have seen numerous annoying trends ascending in the film world (the resurgence of 3D gimmicky to raise ticket prices, the ‘trailer for the trailer,’ Katherine Heigl romantic comedies), one trend that, when done properly, truly works is IMAX.  Creating breathtaking visuals in such films as The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight...

Well, Batman fans, the truth you were dreading—but also more than likely expecting—has finally come.  The details concerning the special features for The Dark Knight Rises blu-ray have been released and, well, it may not be what you had hoped for.

There's a thin line between remakes and reboots. And sometimes, in this business, we makes the mistake of using them as synonyms for each other. But there's a big difference between the two, the main one being that there actually aren't very many movie reboots out there... yet. Remakes there's a ton. Movie reboots on the other hand, aren't as popularized. But that's going to change in...

Say what you will about the flaws of The Dark Knight Rises—it’s Swiss-cheesed with more plot holes than the entire Nolan oeuvre combined, it lacks some of the idea-based thematic unity of the previous Nolan Bat films, etc—it’s still an out-and-out spectacle of technical filmmaking.  A little bloodless, yes, but still more comprehensible than anything Michael...

Despite the fact that The Dark Knight Rises opens wide on Thursday night at midnight, Warner Bros. is still churning out TV spot after TV spot and trailer after trailer for film, in what seems to be a bid to at least come close to The Avengers’ box office dominion earlier this summer—if not somehow better it.  As such, we have three new TV spots, each of which mesh new...

We’re officially a week away from the release of massively anticipated The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan’s final entry in his rebooted Batman trilogy.  Now that we’re down to the wire, the stars of the film are showing up on talk shows, armed with patient smiles and lots of clips and scenes from the film.  Yesterday, we gave you a peek at two full scenes from the film;...

Mondo posters—the highly coveted alternate, and often incredibly awesome, posters for classic and cult films, designed by a stable of independent artists working for Mondo—are often the crown jewels in the collections of movie poster collectors.  So it makes sense that Mondo would design a poster for the most anticipated film of 2012—The Dark Knight Rises, and release it at...

Just how many trailers can one film have?  A teaser?  Sure.  A full trailer?  Of course.  A second full trailer?  Why not?  A third full-length trailer?  Well… OK.  A fourth trailer?  Apparently so, because that’s what dropped late Tuesday: a trailer that begins as an ad for the entire Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, before jumping into two minutes of new The Dark...

Well, we’re less than two weeks away from the release of 2012’s most anticipated film: The Dark Knight Rises.  And while we don’t have anything too spoilery to give away—Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Robin!  Catwoman kills Alfred!  It was all a dream of Commissioner Gordon’s! (I’m making these up, don’t panic)—we do have something pretty cool: the entire score for The...

Now that the press junkets and interviews with the cast and crew of The Dark Knight Rises have begun, Christopher Nolan and company are finally beginning to give more details and insight into the production of what is likely the most anticipated film of the year.  And one of the most revealing and interesting exchanges of this first round of Dark Knight Rises PR is the fact that the...

It seems as if the marketing department behind The Dark Knight Rises has set its sights on total worldwide dominion as, four full-length trailers and about 15 teasers/ TV spots later, they’re still churning out new teasers, sneak peeks, and TV spots for the upcoming film—and each one contains a bevy of new footage.  Today’s clip: a one-minute Hong Kong TV spot (in English),...

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...

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.
