Just to keep all those in desperate need of something new from The Dark Knight Rises I thought I’d pass along some photos that will be in the next issue of Entertainment Weekly. For now, this is all we have — don’t be so ungrateful, we just got a new trailer and the prologue barely a month ago. Besides the new photos, Christopher Nolan recently responded to the critics calling out Tom Hardy’s dialogue as Bane indecipherable. Hit the jump to check it all out.
‘[the films of] Christopher Nolan’ — I Suggest You Watch This
Posted by: | Comments
It’s no secret, that here at the The Movie Mash, we are big fans of Christopher Nolan. Barrett and Mike each have The Dark Knight, The Prestige, and Inception among their top ten movies of all-time — I have Batman Begins amongst my ten favorites. Nolan is a cinematic genius, and has yet to fail as a blockbuster filmmaker. Many montages have been made showcasing the director’s work, but I think this latest rendition is definitely one of the best. Hit the jump to watch it.
What a difference a week makes. Just last Monday Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises wrapped its long, action-packed, 7-month production. Earlier this week, Empire held a clever cover reveal contest where fans could vote on who would be featured on their Nov. 24th TDKR issue: Batman vs. Bane. Bane won handily, but both covers were revealed online several days ago. Now, thanks to some awesome Bat fans in the UK, we have some digital scans of the hard copy issue featuring new set pics, as well as some big reveals into the story of Nolan’s final Batman chapter.
SPOILER WARNING: There is a major plot reveal, albeit an “official reveal” via Nolan himself.
Proceed at your own peril….
I’ve laid off the TDKR Weekly Status Report for the past couple weeks because of the ludicrous onslaught of leaked set pics and videos. I’ve said it before, and I’ll state it again that I am not immune to spoilers. I go out of my way to see what’s going on behind-the-scenes with production, BUT I respect those who wish to stay spoiler-free, thus I will not post spoilerific goodies on The Movie Mash. I will post anything and everything else. More after the break.
Big week for DC Comics. Yesterday Warner Bros. released the first awesome image of Henry Cavill as Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Today, it appears the studio is looking to get a head of the army of spy photos and videos that seem to be leaking by the minute, by releasing the first official image of Anne Hathaway as SELINA KYLE in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. Check it out after the break.
‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Teaser Trailer: Reaction and Analysis
Posted by: | Comments
Well, it’s here. After dozens of bootlegs making their way online last week, the first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises hit theaters over the weekend in front of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II. It then hit the web yesterday morning via www.thedarkknightrises.com, which had a link to the film’s Facebook fan page hosting the video in glorious high definition. That Facebook fan page as accrued just over 123,000 Likes within a day and a half – not bad. The teaser isn’t what I, nor most people were expecting. It’s got a different feeling than the previous two film’s teasers, but after multiple viewings, it gets better and better. Because hey, it’s the f***ing Dark Knight Rises! Check out the trailer after the break.
First Official ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Poster is Classic Nolan
Posted by: | Comments
‘Classic Nolan’ refers to the greatness of this poster. Christopher Nolan is a man who knows how to capture his audiences’ attention. The poster is subtle, yet overwhelming and powerful. It’s simple, yet something to think about. Is the city crumbling down, or building back up? The Dark Knight Rises.
This is usually Barrett’s department, a la Christopher Nolan news, but since he has turned in for the night, I had to jump on this new The Dark Knight Rises poster like Batman from a rooftop. While my obsession does not rival Barrett’s, I cannot begin to express how jacked I am to see this movie. I don’t think I have ever been this excited/antsy to know or see anything new from this blossoming production. This is my most anticipated movie ever. That’s right, I have never wanted to see a movie more than this one. After two stellar films, a fan like myself can only try to imagine what type of crescendo Nolan is cooking up for final film in his Batman Trilogy. To see the full poster, and more info about the teaser trailer, hit the jump.
OMFG. After weeks and weeks of nothing, nada, ZIP on The Dark Knight Rises front, Superhero Hype (via Batman News), claims to have “received word from a trustworthy source” that the teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film will indeed be attached to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II next week. Makes total sense. They’re both Warner Bros. films, HP is WB’s biggest movie of the year, AND it follows the same tradition of all Nolan’s big films releasing the teaser a year prior to the film’s release. . Anyway, if that wasn’t enough to make nerds all over the globe explode, not only will we be getting a teaser trailer, but a teaser poster for TDKR is supposed to hit the web at some point as well. (hold on. gotta catch my breath. just. so. damn. excited.)
Christopher Nolan Developing New Supernatural Thriller for WB
Posted by: | Comments
Until about six months ago when it was announced that Christopher Nolan would be producing the new Superman reboot, now titled Man of Steel being directed by Zack Snyder, he had only been involved with projects that he either wrote, directed, or both. Now, having the pedigree as one of the most powerful filmmakers on Planet Earth, Nolan has the opportunity to use his brand name to help lesser-known talent get projects off the ground. Deadline is reporting (via Nolan Fans) that Nolan will be developing a ‘supernatural thriller’ through his production company, Syncopy, that will be directed by Keith Gordon – a veteran television director who has worked on Dexter and The Killing, to name a few.
As it is one of the most anticipated films of the past 20 years, and moviegoers everywhere are salivating at the very mention of its name, I’m starting a weekly segment titled TDKR Weekly Status Report that will re-cap the past week’s news involving The Dark Knight Rises. Of course things like trailers, official productions stills and interviews will require their own individual post, but the TDKR Weekly Status Report will focus more on the rumor/speculation/things that aren’t necessarily headliners. It will also serve as your ‘know all, end all’ authority for what is real and what is fake. Over the past month or so, there have been endless false “insider reports,” fake Twitter accounts, YouTube channels and Facebook pages that have been created by fans in an attempt to pass it off as WB official viral marketing. In the TDKR Weekly Status Report, you will know what’s real and what’s BS. In this first installment, we’ve got a few juicy tidbits to wet your appetite, most notably (which some of you have surely seen), is this elaborate fake teaser trailer that “leaked” online a few days ago.
