As much as I'm excited to see wtf TDKR is like...I'm more excited to see what he does after it. See what he tackles and how he does it. |
Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
I'll be more excited if he goes back to smaller films.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Smaller than Inception or the Batman films.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
so Prestige and Memento size? Yeah...I'm indifferent on what he does as long as it's good. Though if he can tackle something as well as he did as The Prestige that'd make my day.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
And as we all know editing itself is directing.
Makes me really happy to see Nolan (or any other director that are well deserved) getting all this healthy amount of control of his films w/ a big studio at his age. Being as he's a surefire for WB as a cashcow, I wonder if Nolan will ever leave WB for a project or (what I think) will WB get the projects he wants? |

I wouldn't be surprised if he just set up shop there for a while, kind of like Clint Eastwood whose movies, with few exceptions, have been distributed by Warner. Fact is, Nolan has made Warner a ton of money and, especially, got them a healthy profit from an original work. It's one thing for Batman to succeed, it's another for something like Inception to make as much as it did (though no doubt it is thanks to what he did with TDK).

yeah, TDK's (very resprectable) cred has a lot to do w/ Inception's take. Still...to convince the studio for Inception must've been a very interesting meeting. Again though...I'm sure TDK just made WB agree w/ little or no hesitance.

Not only that but I'm sure it was a quid pro quo that if they finance Inception, a script Nolan has been working on since the 90s IIRC but couldn't get made due to the budget, that he would in return direct TDKR.
And yes, Warner agreed to do Inception as long as Nolan's follow-up would be TDKR. |

Just heard about this...
New viral marketing or someone with some stock footage having fun? http://www.youtube.com/user/TheFireRises EDIT: Nevermind, looks like it's fake. |

Nolan used Inception as his bargaining chip. If Inception got made, TDKR would be made. |

With Potter done, Nolan is WBs golden goose. Apparently he does run a very tight ship which is why his movies tend to be stuffed to the brim, and I'm sure he's all over the storyboards. He probably spends more time in pre-production than actual production, making sure every scene fits together and has at least 3 things going on at once.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Josh Stewart (No Ordinary Family) is the newest cast member:
http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/...oshstewart.jpg The official logo was revealed at a licensing expo and is the same logo as before but with a purple-tinted title. There aren't any good shots of it, just some 'hidden camera' types. The mentioned shot can be seen here: http://batman-news.com/2011/06/14/th...national-expo/ According to recent news articles, Anne Hathaway is getting into the violence of her character so much she keeps literally tearing the ASS out of her costume! She's supposedly quite vicious! |
Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
oh I like him!
|
Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Not sure if this had been said or not, but some sites were reporting they're shooting the scene where Bane breaks Batman's back this week. So, you know, I guess that's gonna be in there...
