DarkHorizons har lagt upp bilder på actionfiguren av Two-Face. Lite suddiga bilder, men man får i alla fall ett litet hum om hur Harvey Dent kommer se ut efter syra-attacken.

Det är i alla fall mycket annorlunda jämfört med Two-Face i Batman Forever. Visst såg han lite creepy ut, men det var lite orealistiskt att hans vanställda ansikte gick i en sån perfekt linje.

Dom bilderna sa inte mycket. Får se om det kanske dyker upp bättre framöver. Av det lilla jag faktiskt ser så känns det iaf bra.

Vet inte om det stämmer men läste nånstans att rätt mycket av Harvey Dents skada ska vara datoranimerat. Ska bli intressant att se hur det blir. Att det kommer bli ligor bättre än Two Face i Batman Forever är det nog inget snack om.
Ska också bli spännande att se om han blir Two Face i denna filmen eller nästa. Aaron Eckhart sa ju i nån intervju att Two Face kommer dyka upp i TDK medans nån annan (tror det var nån producent?) hävdade att han kommer dyka upp i nästa. Så som sagt ska blir spännande att se hur det kommer utspela sig.

IESB - Deathstroke in the Dark Knight?

[Spacer]

Lite info från ign.com om nästa trailer.

February 20, 2008 - Ever since Heath Ledger's death last month, there has been much speculation in the entertainment press about how Warner Bros. might alter its marketing for The Dark Knight. Bat-fans will reportedly get their first hint of this new approach next month.

According to DarkHorizons.com, the next trailer for The Dark Knight is slated to debut with Warners' prehistoric epic 10,000 B.C., which opens March 7th.

The site adds that this new trailer, unlike the Joker-heavy first one, will feature more of Christian Bale and Aaron Eckhart as Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent, respectively. It was previously reported that Warners had always intended on building the initial marketing phase for The Dark Knight around the Joker before switching the focus to Dent.

Ska bli intressant att få se lite film material från TDK med Eckhart som Havery Dent då man inte fått se så mycket av det hittills. Gillar deras marknadsföring dock att de har "smygit in" Dents storyline lite.

IESB - Since When Does Batman Carry a Gun?

[SwedishSuperhero]

Ja, så är det med film-franchiser. Jag vet att jag haft minst en Batman-figur med ett vapen, trots hans kod att inte använda skjutjärn. Det har ju varit likadant med Superman, vars actionfigurer haft bilar, dykardräkter och annat dumt. Jag tror i alla fall att det bara är merchandise som inte kommer förekomma i filmen. Fast man vet ju aldrig...

Since when does Batman carry a gun?

Det där är troligtvis (designen är inte speciellt snygg) bara leksakstjafs som du nämde (Supermobilen Sen är det en eldkastare om jag fattat rätt, inte en puffra som skjuter kulor. Sen det mest störande är kanske att "Batman has always had an aversion to guns!" ja alltså det ser ju förbannat fel ut med Batman och en puffra, och vi vet att den moderna Batman inte använder dem och ogillar dem. Men Bill Finger/Jerry Robinson/BoB Kane Batman använde en pistol under karaktärens tidiga äventyr, sen hade Batman en pistol i "Year Two" också. Frank Millers Batman i DKR sköt gummikulor mot mutantgänget, Grant Morrisons Batman i JLA sköt raketer från Batplanet. Kanske bättre att säga att moderna Batman i serietidningarna skjuter inte ihjäl människor med skjutvapen.

[SwedishSuperhero]

Såna saker är inte alltid så lättdefinierade, med andra ord. Det kan vara rätt frustrerande om man är något av en "puritan" i sådana sammanhang. Jag kan nog åtminstone kan leva med att han skjuter raketer ur sina fordon, men om han skulle använda samma typ av vapen som dödade hans föräldrar skulle jag inte tolerera. Jag minns ett avsnitt av JLU där Deadman tog över hans kropp och sköt en skurk med en puffra, vilket gjorde honom j*vligt förbannad.

Cartman har ingen humor...

Snygg poster förresten.

Det har jag visst det... bara det att jag inte förstår just detta. Men du som verkar sitta med lite information kan kanske vara så snäll att berätta vad som är så roligt?




Jag kan inte annat än att hålla med om postern, riktigt snygg. Om den är äkta hoppas jag att den kommer i lite bättre kvalité framöver.

FirstShowing - Aaron Eckhart Confirms Two-Face and Two Performances in Dark Knight

March 7, 2008
Source: Wizard, CHUD

Buzz for The Dark Knight has been a little thin around here, primarily because Iron Man has stolen most of it, but I think it's time to change that. Wizard recently interviewed Aaron Eckhart and talked with him at length about playing Harvey Dent and eventually the villain Two-Face. Not only does Eckhart confirm that Two-Face makes an appearance in the movie, but he talks about how he portrayed the character and how his story is involved in the framework of the movie. While we do have Iron Man coming up a good two months before The Dark Knight hits, now is the time to start getting really excited for both as we get close and closer to the summer movie season.

Eckhart plainly answers their question regarding his appearance as Two-Face, stating "Harvey Dent turns into Harvey Two-Face in this movie. So that answers your question better." With that out of the way, it's time to dive into the deeper realm of Harvey Dent and Two-Face because he is such an intricate character, playing on both the good and the bad sides. Eckhart is thankfully a very talented actor who understands how to perfectly portray a character that maybe good sometimes, bad the others, but will always keep your attention. "If you can relate to a character who's a villain, or not, it's always better. If I can help you to relate to my character, then I think that I'm more likely to keep your attention."

For those like me who want to go into this with as little knowledge as possible so as to experience the full story in theaters for the first time, we're keeping very light on the story details. However, Eckhart does give a great explanation as to what we will see of Harvey Dent and how his transformation will occur. Don't be worried, we're not talking spoilers at all, we're talking about how exactly his character is involved in the overal framework of The Dark Knight.


I think that right now we're showing who Harvey was before he was scarred, and it's an interesting role that he plays. We're looking at Gotham City trying to get out of its darkness. That's why Harvey is important."

"I have done scenes as Harvey Two-Face. It's interesting. I won't tell you exactly what we're going for, but I think that I can say that it will use all of today's technology to create this character. He's going to be interesting, and I think that's what makes this character important in the movie—you get to see him as he was before, as in the comic books. Harvey is a very good guy in the comic books. He's judicious. He cares. He's passionate about what he loves and then he turns into this character. So you will see that in this film."


This is where Jeremy from CHUD steps in. He posted a very interesting article that is seemingly unrelated to Wizard's interview, in which he said that "Nolan shot complementary takes of Eckhart in Two-Face makeup so he could visually represent the duality of Dent in a less cartoony fashion." What that means, in essence, is that "he's a fifty-fifty split of the same actor giving two wildly divergent performances in the same shot. And because he has two takes of each scene, Nolan has the luxury of shaping Eckhart's performance in post." The moment I read that for the first time, I instantly blurted out "no fucking way!" Apparently both of the takes will be present, but only one will dominate his consciousness at any given moment.

As Jeremy eludes to, the technical aspect of pulling this off may be why they haven't shown any of Harvey Dent or Two-Face in the trailers yet. I'm sure Nolan wants to finish the work and perfect every last detail regarding Dent before he even shows as much as a glimpse of him. Think about the idea of seeing Eckhart's two performances combined into one in post-production, and without noticing the blend, one side of his face is acting maniacal while the other is acting like Harvey Dent. I could be wrong about how I'm imagining this, but that's what it sounds like from Jeremy's explanation.

I'm so overwhelmed by envisioning what all this means, that I don't even know how to respond. I knew The Dark Knight was going to be something profound and life-changing when I saw the IMAX footage in front of I Am Legend that Nolan had shot. Now you throw in Two-Face's duality into the mix and that really blows my mind. While initially anyone might be worried that the movie features too many villains, I think more than anyone out there, Christopher Nolan is the one who knows exactly how to pull off the delicate balance that is required for it to work.

With exactly 133 days and counting until The Dark Knight hits theaters (on July 18th), there is still plenty of time for the buzz to build. I'd suggest you all stay tuned next Thursday, March 13th, as I'm apparently being treated to some footage (and maybe more) from The Dark Knight at ShoWest in Las Vegas. In the meantime, let the discussions begin on Aaron Eckhart and Harvey Dent. And stay tuned for new trailers, interviews, and more hype for The Dark Knight right here on FS.net!

What do you think of Two-Face's appearance and Eckhart's double performances in The Dark Knight? Is it too much, or is it just right?

Vissa rykten har florerat kring en scen med Heath Ledger som påståtts ha blivit bortklippt efter några testvisningar.

Cinemablend:

"The scene involves Ledger’s Joker character pretending to be dead and being pictured in a body bag. Apparently the aftershocks of Ledger’s unfortunate death are such that many in the screening reacted rather badly to this moment and now execs are considering excising the scene altogether. "

Moviehole har dock annat att säga:

A source close to the 'The Dark Knight' told us this morning that the film remains in-tact – and nothing of Ledger’s will be cut from the movie, including the [suspect] scene. ‘’I KNOW for a fact that that scene is in the film. I also know that WB has made no such mandate and that Chris [Nolan] is honest when saying that he will not change what was intended with The Joker.”

Indy 4, Dark Knight will run long
Posted by Michael Hickerson on Thursday, 17 Apr 2008

Better make sure you get the super-sized soda and popcorn as you head into Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Dark Knight this summer. According to reports on Dark Horizons, both summer blockbusters will have long running times.

...

Meanwhile, The Dark Knight is reported to have an initial running time of close to three hours. However, it’s unlikely the film will be cut down much despite Warner Brothers desire for a running time of closer to 150 minutes.

The Dark Knight’s longer running time isn’t expected to create much of an issue. Batman Begins ran 140 minutes. And initial reports from screenings indicate that director Christopher Nolan has created a cut that justifies the longer running time.

Indy 4 opens in theaters May 22. The Dark Knight hits theaters in July.

The New Dark Knight Poster!

They've done it again! The fans have uncovered the official new poster for The Dark Knight. Where was it found in the viral marketing? On the Joker's WhySoSerious.com, of course! The page that lead to the poster also says "Four days," presumably how long we have to wait for the new trailer?

Läcker.

[Cartman]

3 riktigt goda nyheter. Dels en väldigt fin och läcker poster. Jag gillar även att TDK hinner ut på DVD och Blu-ray innan året är slut samt att speltiden är lång. Inget säger att filmen blir bättre av en lång speltid då det är innehållet som räknas. Men med tanke på att BB var riktigt bra och den långa speltiden inget hinder, snarare en fördel så ser dett bra ut. Mycket bra dessutom!
