When do we get the first TV spot? Didnt we get one for TDK by this time in '08?

Probably within a couple weeks, NBA finals at the very latest.

Well ducard makes a better argument than wayne.

Only cause Liam Neeson is delivering the dialogue. That man can make anything seem like a good idea. His voice is so soothing and reassuring.

Marketing has been abysmal in comparison with TDK.

You mean the ARG (viral)? As DM said earlier, they didnt need one for TDKR. WB is waiting for the right time and its their biggest summer tentpole.

Thanks.

So based on voice the argument strength goes:
Neeson > Ledger > Oldman > Murphy > Hats> bale > Watanabe > Hardy > Caine >> Gylnhall

No, it's:

Neeson > Caine (admit it, he could convince you to do anything) > Ledger (He'd scare the shit out of you) = Hardy > Oldman > Freeman > Watanabe > Murphy > Bale > NO MORE DEAD COPS > Eckhart > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lau >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gyllenhal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Holmes.

Hathaway and Cotillard jump to the top of the list if they're telling me something sexual.

[Scullibundo]

Did you guys just do voice rankings and leave Morgan Freeman way down the list?

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

No, more like in the middle of the list.

Hey, at least I had Freeman in my list. Shira omitted him altogether. Though reflecting, I feel like Freeman and Oldman should trade places.

[artist]

You forgot Eckhart and the dude who played Lau.

edit: was meant for shira.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

You forgot Eckhart and the dude who played Lau.

What? They're both in there.

If I forgot anyone, it's the Chechen and Anthony Michael Hall. Also, Maroni.

Edit: Oh, I see.

You list is fine, so fine.

Went to see Avengers and every god damn trailer for the summer was attached except for TDKR :(

Thank god the movie was awesome to make up for it.

Can anyone tell me if there is anything else different about this one other than a metal case.

Unless you really want that metal case, I suggest wait. WB is working on a trilogy box set for the holidays, wait for that.

[SuperEpicMan]

Yeah, I hope they release more special features for the next movie. Its a bit of a let down they don't do commentaries on Nolan movies.

Get ready to continue to be let down, Nolan doesn't do commentaries.

[DMczaf]

I might if he considers himself a 'revolutionary' which seems to be what's hinted at with the liberation talk. I haven't read much since I don't want to be spoiled though so I don't know what his problem is exactly I'll wait and see.

I was wrong, Bane is a nice guy.

Saw it again over the weekend, and had the same thing. At least this time it had new trailers for Spiderman and Prometheus. 1st time to see The Avengers, and I got the first teaser trailers for TDKR and Spiderman...

If I didn't know better, I'd say he was impersonating Dr. Zoidberg a few times there.

Prometheus trailer on the big screen was incredible. My wife who hasn't seen the original Alien movies and had 0 interest in Prometheus told me right after "I want to watch all the movies before we go see Prometheus".

“As you saw with Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol,” Welton continues, “using our IMAX cameras is the greatest differentiation that we can create. But, with that, we also see the possibility of different aspect ratios.” When it came to the IMAX-captured 70mm footage, which subsequently amounted to about 25 minutes of Ghost Protocol, theatrical presentations “went into the 1.43 aspect ratio, which is the ratio of our cameras, and thereby into full-screen IMAX.” Similarly, the opening bank robbery sequence of The Dark Knight was rendered in native IMAX, which Welton believes “is one of the reasons why it was so powerful and why Nolan decided to shoot over an hour of Rises with IMAX cameras.” The previously quoted first-quarter report also references one-time costs associated with theatres so that they are indeed able to show both IMAX 70mm analog and IMAX digital. A number of highly successful theatres, such as AMC Loews Lincoln Square (New York City), Sony Metreon (San Francisco) and BFI London will be showing The Dark Knight Rises with the special ratio footage, Welton elaborates. “Both Chris Nolan and IMAX thought it was a great idea to have as many film-based screens as possible to take advantage of this powerful presentation. So we worked with another partner on developing a rail system that allows us to move the film-based equipment in and out again if there’s a digital-only release.”

They pretty much dropped the ball for TDKR when it comes to marketing. Where's my viral campaign?

http://www.filmjournal.com/filmjourn...89970b540cb2de

What is special-ratio footage? Is that 70mm + digital combo? Or is that just 70mm.

They want to top John Carter

Viral I guess doesn't matter. That is more for the internet followers.

But I did expect to see TDKR trailers attached to all showing of Avengers as a great way to kick-start the marketing. Who knows what they have planned but at this point while its a highly anticipated movie, it is a little under the radar. Maybe that is the plan and they will flood the market soon.

http://www.filmjournal.com/filmjourn...89970b540cb2de

I don't understand what this article is talking about. Was there a chance that TDKR wouldn't show on 70mm screens or something? Don't all 70mm IMAX screens use the proper ratio for IMAX scenes and then switch to widescreen when necessary?

It's not WB marketing that decides if TDKR's trailer plays with Avengers, it's the theater having enough copies of it for every screen that's playing Avengers. I went to see Iron Man 1 when TDK's final trailer came out, they didn't play it. It happens all the time when a trailer is not physically attached to a movie (they only do this when it's the studio's own film).

I don't understand what this article is talking about. Was there a chance that TDKR wouldn't show on 70mm screens or something?

There are theaters that converted to digital even though they have a real IMAX screen (don't get me started!). IMAX is trying to get as many of these theaters ready to play 70mm film.

I'm sure Vegas will not be one of these, but I can always hope.

No real spoilers there :\

They just speculate over the plot of Knightfall, it's not a spoiler.

Everyone already knows Alfred becomes Nightwing anyway.

Wait if they converted, does that mean it doesn't take up the whole screen like it should? Even though the screen is there? I assume yes, otherwise why would they need to make changes to have it play TDKR film. Thank god my favorite IMAX theaters are still film.

Are you suggesting that it's all part of the plan?

Fandango search will have the showtimes as we get closer to release: http://www.fandango.com/thedarkknigh.../movieoverview (ignore the run time, it's an obvious mistake lol)

If you want to know which are real IMAX screens, cross reference with this list and see which are the 15/70mm format.

Don't really think it would matter. He'd have to rip every single episode.
Prolly a lot faster youtubing the description of what he wants.

Although I do wish he mixed in some TAS dialogue.

This was brought up earlier before about Bale and Batman Begins (watching it now before sleep).

I really love how Bale played a tormented, committed/obsessed, and determined Bruce Wayne. The first fight scene in the prison is brilliant because of the "you are practice" line and his fight methods are just hard-bunching and brutal, like a true brawling beast

brilliant

I was really concerned about this after John Carter was shown digitally at my local 70mm Imax screen. I spoke to someone at Famous Players about it and they've told me that all their Imax screens in the GTA (Coliseum Mississauga, Scotiabank) (since I know at least a few of you are from here) are operating on dual projectors which means that they can still show TDKR in the 15/70 film format. Apparently TDKR was a major factor behind their decision to not go exclusively digital.

Why would John Carter be shown in 70mm? It wasn't shot in 70mm.
