A "reliable source" for Cosmic Book News is reporting that his friend has seen a rough cut of The Dark Knight Rises and calls it, "a flawless movie." And that is some high praise since the supposed viewer didn't even get to see all the CGI shots completed. It is one of those films that leaves you on the edge of your seat much like The Dark Knight did

How believable is that?

Don't read the rest in the link, it's spoiler-ish.

Is it me or are trailers for this particularly scarce. We've had that single, teaser one back in December, and then nothing. Doesn't the film release in 2 months?

 

[triplestation]

:lol

There was a teaser last summer, trailer + prologue in December, and then a new trailer in less than 2 weeks.

I think its the lack of a viral marketing campaign plus the fact the first trailer was lackluster compared to the trailers we saw for TDK.

Otherwise the movie marketing in terms of teasers and trailers are right on schedule compared to TDK. TDK final trailer was attached to Iron Man in May 2008. Same time in between trailers.

 

[Bernbaum]

Gold.

 

[Messypandas]

i think the problem is TDK was besotted with image 'leaks' and so we had a lot of pictures to mull over. TDKR has been pretty quiet apart from the officially released stuff.

 

[Tookay]

Well done.

I have a feeling this will be put to good use in a couple months.

On location shots of Pittsburg was all over the place, kind of crazy of the chase we saw.

We have had fuck tons of videos and pictures from the sets.

[Fry]

Oh fuck, please be true.

 

[Dany]

More batman is never bad.

 

[Tookay]

160 minutes...

Gawd can it be three months from now?

We have had fuck tons of videos and pictures from the sets.

We pretty much know how the last act goes, ironically enough.

I'm talking about the stacks of pics WB leaked on purpose,

like this:

and this

these pics were never released officially

Gotcha. Yeah. It has seemed oddly quiet so far outside a couple of magazines. Doesn't seem like the teaser or trailer were that widespread. I would expect shit is about to go crazy. Starting with the new trailer, I bet we start seeing Batman everywhere.

Event Cinema's probably just putting up early placeholders. They've got Prometheus at 130, while Scott himself confirmed that it's 119 (unless that's without credits).

Psyched if true, though.

 

[Dany]

Wow, those were leaked

Wasnt the first pic of the joker an extreme closeup, that was great.

 

[Coppertracks]

Mmmm yes please.

 

[Daft_Cat]

Never forget. My 17 year-old self was horrified and mesmerized at the same time.

 

[DMczaf]

TDKR's security has been pretty insane compared to TDK. We get some call sheet stuff, or speculation on what we see in set photos, but that's about it.

I'm still surprised that they kept the 8 year time gap secret up til Nolan revealed it in December.

 

[Willkiller]

I thought the runtime was confirmed already at around 140 mins? Oh well, hope it's true.

I just found out I'm on holiday in Spain when it comes out.

It is. Seems accurate.

Wow, can't believe this thread may eventually become big enough to be retired into the GAF Hall of.. something

 

[Dany]

This thread will remain the OT, right? We have to consolidate the madness of this entire timeline into a singular thread.

 

[Gila]

Every official news this movie is giving is better than the last

We're close to reaching 20,000 posts, won't this get locked afterwards?

I would absolutely love this.

The Dark Knight felt a little rushed towards the end.

When a thread grows out of control a locking is inevitable and natural

 

[Carbonox]

We're close to reaching 20,000 posts, won't this get locked afterwards?

I hope so, then we can have a fresh thread which finally gets rid of the Riddler in the title.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Wasn't TDK pretty much just as long? And rushed toward the end? LOL! The third act was so fucking dragged out with that boat bullshit.

 

[Fry]

What? No way.

The Dark Knight Rises |OT| No Catwoman's whip, no Batman's forced voice and no Riddler

 

[Dany]

What? that was awesome and was a great visualization of game theory

 

[rekameohs]

I felt that Dent's character should have been more fleshed out instead of just an abrupt turn to being evil (though I guess Ra's was pretty similar in Begins). It's just my opinion.

 

[MrPink93485]

If it wasn't for the horrible extras and some bad dialogue, I might have enjoyed it more.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Agreed. They could have given more time to Dent if they didn't waste so much time cutting back to Joker and Deebo's shitty boat game.

 

[Dany]

The extras didnt' bother me.

Also having Harvey turn to two face, leading to his quick death was great, really showed the lack of control influence Joker can have. Control isn't the right word but the joker didnt' have a good handle on the situation because Harvey was too good to be evil for too long.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

We're close to reaching 20,000 posts, won't this get locked afterwards?

Yeah. This thread will burn to the ground with the release of the next trailer.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I can only assume DM is quiet right now because he's working on a new deviant-art themed thread.

 

[Gila]

Forget DM

where the fuck is Solo?

I wanna see his comment about being 160 mins

This thread got pretty terrible with spoilers when that last entertainment weekly came out. He probably decided it was a good time to get the fuck out.

 

[noah111]

Incredible.

 

[DMczaf]

I still don't get this idea of Dent's character having an "abrupt turn". Dent was already showing signs of an underlying darkness, like when he was interrogating Schiff. It was a double sided coin, but I believed Dent would have escalated the situation if Schiff didn't give up and/or Batman didn't intervene.

Once Dent lost the love of his life and pretty much any chance at living a normal life, his grief was propelling him to hate the world and everything in it. All Joker did was provide the little push.

 

[Blader]

It's not like Dent turned into a supervillain and tried to destroy the city or whatever. He only wanted to kill the handful of people he blamed for Rachel's death and then himself.

 

[Solo]

Dent died for our sins

 

[rekameohs]

It was done fine; I mean I really loved The Dark Knight. I just think that maybe just a tiny bit more of the stuff like with Schiff couldn't hurt. And that's something that could have been done in the additional 8 minutes that would have pushed the film to 160.

I wonder if avengers will have 100min+ of cgi on screen

So... Is Riddler in this or not?

Yep. Eddie Murphy.
