Det skulle jag inte tro att dom är oroliga för. Tycker mer att dom får ut budskapet "störst, bäst och vackrast" med alla promotion som dom gör för filmen.

EDIT: Två bilder till.

En banner



Samt reklam för någon produkt

Intresant om det är Jokern som skapar Two-Face. Han ser ut att vara bränd. Då kör de alltså inte med syra varianten?

I trailern, den senare så finns det en scen där nån/några/något håller Harvey Dent mot marken och det är lågor i bakgrunden, sen skriker han "NOOOOOOO!" och det ser ut att vara nån form av vätska på marken(kan ju vara nåt annat). Vet inte om det är syra eller bränskador på den där bilden (som faktiskt verkar vara helt äkta) tycker att han ser ut som att nån skulle kastat nåt frätande i ansiktet på honom. Hemskt otrevligt ser det iaf ut som och som Kermit sa, påminner Dark Victory ja.Bra. F*n vilket skämt Two-Face var i "Batman Forever" när man nu jämför med vad Nolan verkar göra.

Helt galet vad de satsar på posters och små promomaterial. Är de kanske rädda att inte överträffa Iron Man och Indiana Jones?

Kanske. Bör kommas ihåg att "Batman Begins" var en stor framgång (största framgången kom med DVD relasen) och den filmen hade rätt så lite promo-material. Lite tokigt att folk kallade det för "Sleeper Hit" eftersom det handlar ju ändå om Batman,men den filmen hade ju en rätt diskret marknadsföring jämfört med hur blockbusters generelt marknadsförs. Sen har inte jag hittils sätt tokmycket promo-material i verkliga livet. På nätet har man ju sett alla posters och trailers osv. Såg dock trailern innan Indiana Jones häromdagen. Kanske WB valt att satsa hårdare nu i år. Allt pekar på en riktigt riktigt bra film, men jag undrar hur sommarpublkien kommer att ta en film som är så "seriös"?.

Two Face i Batman Forever framstår som en pajas som dragit på sig lite smink för ett rejvparty eller nåt i den stilen i jämförelse med det här.
Det här kommer bli kanon!! Det ska bli intressant att se Eckhart spela ut rejält i en mer ondsint roll här. Han har väl inte gjort något sånt förut i nån film vad jag kan minnas?

Coolt!

Mycket coolt!
Som det skrevs här man har ju inte sett så mycket promo grejer i verkliga livet än så länge men skulle gissa att det har varit ganska massiv marknadsföring för TDK i USA. Verkar ju så, som sagt j*kligt coolt med bannern på byggnaden.

Jag såg om Batman Begins för nån vecka sen och gillade den mycket bättre än senast. The Dark Knight är nog den blockbuster-film jag ser fram emot allra mest i sommar, tror att den kan bli riktigt, riktigt bra

[SwedishSuperhero]

Själv tänkte jag försöka se om Batman Begins alldeles innan jag ser The Dark Knight. Skulle gärna också titta på Batman: Gotham Knight, men jag tvivlar på att jag hinner få tag på ett ex tills dess.

"ActuallyRobin" på superherohype har gjort en transcript på tidningen Total Films The Dark Knight reportage/intervjuer. Härna är den

David Goyer recently and the great thing about sequels is, you just jump right in... Will it feature The Joker? I really wouldn't want to commit to anything, but certainly the ending of Batman Begins suggests a pretty strong path..."
Christopher Nolan October 2005

Emma Thomas (Producer) You know, it's funny, I didn't think for a minute tha Chris would want to direct a sequel to Batman Begins, because at the end of the production we felt we'd made the biggest film we could possibly make. The only reason to come back was if we could change it around and expand the world and I couldn't see at that point how we could do it. I don't think Chris was too convinced about it, either. Then, when he started talking about a story with David and then working on a script with Jonah [Nolan, co-writer], he really got into the story and got completely hooked on it.

Christopher Nolan It's about raising the stakes. The end of Batman Begins points to this quite directly: the idea of escalation, the idea of creating this very strong response to crime in Gotham, which then prompts another response from the criminal fraternity. The stakes for everybody are raised massively.

Christian Bale (Actor, Bruce Wayne/Batman) The challenge is to make it better than the first. I feel we successfully introduced our version and now it's about making it even better.

Nolan The biggest challenge of the film creatively, I think, is to expand and enlarge the world we created in Begins. Both in a narrative sense, through story and characterisation, and in a physical sense, in terms of the scale of the action. We put everything we could into the first film, to make it as epic as possible, so I felt that the best way in which to expand the physical scope of the story was to expand the canvas on it - to literally shoot on this IMAX format, so that the audience is thrown into the world of the movie in a pretty dramatic fashion. The sequels I've really liked have been thins like The Empire Strikes Back or The Godfather: Part II. We were looking to try to emulated them in terms of our ambition.

Nathan Crowley (Production Designer)
To me it was a great continuation, it wasn't like repeating yourself. We got to describe a little bit of Gotham in Begins, but I hadn't really gone into the workings of the city. I hadn't gone into the Mayor's office. What about the Major Crimes Unit and Gordon's Unit? I wanted to really explore what Gotham could be.

Gary Oldman (Actor, Jim Gordon)
The city is more of a character in The Dark Knight.

Crowley In the first film we burnt down Wayne Manor - well, Ra's al Ghul burnt it down! So we thought he'd have a downtown pad, because he's Bruce Wayne - he's got all the money in the world. We had to reinvest where he hides and where he lives. In the first film we were trying to find a new way of describing existing places - like Wayne Manor and The Batcave - because it was an origin story.

Chaos Theory

Nolan We're not telling the origin story of The Joker. We don't want to get bogged down in another origin story. Certainly, at the beginning of our story the Joker isn't the most powerful villain in Gotham City... I'd say that the film charts the rise of The Joker, not his origin.

Bale In Batman's eyes The Joker is somebody who, because of his complete nihilism, is a very difficult opponent. Because Batman obviously does have his ethics and rules and that's the whole point: how do you fight somebody who has no restraint whatsoever?

Oldman It's hard to police a character like The Joker, who isn't interested in the money. Most criminals are interested in the money. The Joker is all about chaos and doing it for the fun of it and just mixing it all up. Michael Caine as Alfred tells a story to Bruce Wayne in the movie. They were in Burma, or somewhere like that, and these jewels were stolen and they were asked to track them down, because they could never find the stones. And he says that years later he saw a kid at a road side, playing with a ruby, like, the size of a tangerine, and they realised that guy had stolen these things, then thrown them away - he did it for the sport. Bruce says to him, "Did you ever track down that guy?" and he replies, "Yeah, we burnt the forest, scorched the earth and got him."

Bale Batman is facing an opponent who has no weakness, because he believes in nothing but Chaos. How do you beat that person? They have nothing to lose. The temptation is for him to recognise, well, the shorted route, the only real answer to beating this guy is to break his own rule [of not killing]. He's dying yo break that rule, but he has to maintain this kind of core of belief and this respect for what his parents believed it - and keeping their memory alive, not becoming something that they would have despised. He's presented himself as a target, a perfect target for somebody like The Joker. He knows he can toy with him, you know, he's showing him, in the Joker's mind, how ridiculous the Batman's rules are and trying to prove to him how it can't work in the real world.

Nolan The Joker, basically - how best to describe it? - The Joker is an anarchist. I think the thing that really absorbs him is unravelling people's structures, their moral codes. And he, quite early on, puts his finger on what Batman clings to, the morality that Batman clings to, in terms of, not killing people, not just being a common vigilante Being a positive force for society. I think the Joker realises how to start to unravel that...

Terror Vision

Oldman My dad was in WW2, on a Destroyer in the Pacific. and encountered kamikaze pilots. How do you fight an enemy who doesn't care? Batman has certain rules he won't break, but he's pushed... He's pushed right to it. How do you police someone like The Joker? He just doesn't care. You look at that footage of those places flying into those towers [on 9/11] and you go, "Could it have been stopped?" But who would of ever thought that anyone would do that?

Chuck Roven (Producer) Let me put it to you this way... even if the script's intention wasn't for you to draw this parallel, you can't help but draw the parallel. It's certainly meant to at least make you think in these areas. Because that's what the world's consciousness is actually thinking about anyway now. It makes for a very interesting characters, who engage you while you're watching the movie, and it makes for something to talk about after the movie.

Aaron Eckhart (Actor, Harvey Dent/Harvey Two-Face) This script, whether Chris intended it or not, is very relevant for today. There's a lot of questions and there's a few answers. I guess it's a personal thing whether one believes their right or wrong but I believe a lot of what goes on today is in that script. I grew up on Batman, the original series with Adam West. We used to watch it every day after school - Pow! Bam! To think of what Batman was then and what Batman is today...

Bale What I love about it is that you can do that with this character. This apparently lightweight superhero - originally this spoofy, kitschy, campy character - we've actually managed to turn that around. [The analogy of the war on terror] is absolutely one that I read into the script immediately.

Nolan I think that with large scale movies that are going to reach a lot of people, when you construct the film, what you're always trying to do is tap into people's view of the world we live in. You're trying to be relevant. But I think if you try yo do that in any conscious political sense you're going to be somewhat violating the terms of the type of entertainment you're trying to make. What we're trying to do - and tried to do with the first one as well - is to be very unconscious in those associations. To just write a world that seems relevant and frightening and inspiring and just has a power over us.

Bale There's clearly something that I take from this film but I like to keep that to myself, because I don't ever want to tell people what I'm getting from it - the movie itself should do that. It doesn't need an interview with me being a loudmouth, telling people what they should get; they get what they want to. Once it's out there it's theirs, it's not ours anymore. It's for the audience to make up their own minds.

Nolan I'll put it this way: one of the most fascinating things about Bruce Wayne and what he does as Batman, to me, is that the ethical and moral implications of it - and the practical implications of it - are confusing. There are a lot of problems in what he does and that's what makes him a fascinating character, because he embodies some of our fundamental instincts towards fighting justice and using violence to achieve aims. But at the same time that comes with serious consequences... I think that Batman would like to believe that the difference between him and The Joker is that The Joker is an anarchist and Batman has rules. But I think The Joker actually quite skilfully undermines the sense of the validity or the importance of the rules he thinks he lives by. And, of course, once that starts to unravel then they're no longer distinguished in that way - so they're not opposites, they're not flip sides of the same coin in way, they're more different, funnily enough...

Face Time

Bale Bruce wants to save Harvey [Dent, the District Attorney], And it's more than that. By saving him he saves himself. He manages to maintain belief in what he's doing if he can save Harvey. Harvey means everything to him. Harvey not only is the great shining hope for Gotham, he's the great shining hope for Bruce, because if Dent can run Gotham, then Batman is no longer needed and that is what Bruce is looking for. He was never planning on this hero gig being a long-term commitment. To him it was a finite endeavour and there would come to be an heir - well, here he is! So if he doesn't save him, then he's going to be lost in this as well.

Nolan I think Rachel sees in Harvey what she hopes for in Bruce. I think that also Bruce sees in Harvey what Gotham needs and, as he puts it, "Gotham needs a hero with a face." He sees Harvey as the guy who can take over and so he can stop doing what he's doing. Christian and I talked a lot about this on the first film. We felt that the only way you could make sense of the concept of and individual putting on a costume and going out to fight crime on his own and trying to reclaim an entire city that way - millions and millions of people - was if you viewed him as more of a symbolic and political figure.
That is to say: someone who is a catalyst for change. He sees himself as a way of putting fear into the criminals and inspiring the good of Gotham to take the city back. He sees Harvey Dent, at the beginning of this film, as the guy coming after him, the hero with a face - the legitimate hero.

Eckhart Because of this incident in the comic book, you know, acid being thrown in his face in the courtroom, Harvey doesn't become a new person. He expresses what's inside him in a different way. So it's coming from the same place.
In other words, the frustration that Harvey maybe felt when he was District Attorney, when he's with Lieutenant Gordon and they can't crack the case and they're trying to get the mobsters but can't because he has to go through the bureaucracy of government - all of a sudden he doesn't have to go through the bureaucracy of government and all that, so it's really his alter-ego, this freedom to act on his unconscious or his subconscious, his impulses.

Nolan The way we portray Harvey Dent, we followed this thought that there'd be some edge to the character all the way through, that there would be a very positive impulse that could be taken in a very negative direction.
Aaron does a marvellous job of presenting a psychologically credible character throughout the movie - that overall tragedy, the overall arc or Harvey Dent and Two-Face. It's in him right from the beginning, there's something there that can be manipulated or abused or through circumstance turned into something awfully dark.

Eckhart I think the main vein of justice is still there, it's just how you pursue it, and that's Harvey Two-Face. Harvey Dent is a very good guy, very good. Harvey Two-Face has still got good impulses, but he just manifests them in bad ways.

Roven He's very tragic , Harvey. He is really definitely a fallen guy and does fall somewhere in between Batman and The Joker and each one of them make for interesting guys - they're definitely not black and white. Although one of them dresses in black!

Nolan There's a very fascinating relationship, I think, between Batman and Harvey Dent and Two-Face. So in a way The Joker is more the judge of that. The Joker is a pretty unique individual, really.

Heath Ledger

Bale Heath's performance is ****ing fantastic. As was working with him. And knowing him. He was great ****ing company. Wonderful guy. Fantastic working with somebody who will immerse themselves as much as he does... did [Ledger died on 22 January 2008]. I hope that this will celebrate his work.

Thomas Heath was a hugely talented actor and really just one of the good guys. With a role like that - and being as serious an actor as he was - going in, I wondered if he was going to be somebody who would inhabit the character at all times. But he didn't at all. He was really amazing, in that he could turn it on and then switch it off between takes.

Bale People love to talk about actors staying in character all the time but it's just totally implausible for seven months straight. You do what's appropriate, you do what's necessary.

Thomas We're hoping the film will do him justice. We're proud of it and very privileged to have been able to work with him. In terms of how the character affected him, I don't think it did.

Bale It's not for be to tell anybody or pretend to have insights beyond what I absolutely know, but my instincts are that [the idea Ledger was disturbed by playing The Joker] is ridiculous. Heath was somebody who, like myself... it's what I act for... I act for that immersion. It's not an unusual thing. And from working with him and knowing him, I don't think that was unusual for him, at all.

Nolan It was absolutely wonderful working with Heath. I'm very, very excited for people to see his performance. I think that he really has done something pretty incredible in the film. And at this point I'm just very, very keen for people to get their eyes on it and enjoy it.

Taskmaster

Wally Pfister (Cinematographer) Chris has changed and matured as a filmmaker quite a bit over the last 10 years. He was always a very clever writer and had really sharp and innovative ideas on set, but what I've seen evolve over the years is he can really take charge of a larger film and be is able to communicate well with actors of the highest calibre. He's a world-class filmmaker and each film he just surprises me more and more with his knowledge of every aspect of filmmaking, from writing the screenplay to managing the marketing of a film down the line.

Bale Chris' real strength as a director is how annoyingly good he is at multitasking. Like, in ways that I never could, what he can do is to be able to talk with me - it doesn't matter a damn whether we're making a $1m movie or a $150m budget movie, makes no difference, because we're talking about the character and the story - and then he can go off and handle a crew of however-many hundreds there are. He can handle the pressures that come with this kind of megabudget movie. All these things are things I never think about for a second. And I'm quite happy to never have to think about them, but I realise that he does. And to deal with all those pressures and never to let it stop him from making and demanding to make exactly the movie that he's going to make... That's a kind of self-control that I don't think i would be able to manage myself and a kind of balancing act of having absolute conviction in what you're doing, but also the patience to deal with so many different people who are all trying to do things their own way. I know that I would never have that sort of patience, but Chris does to an incredible degree.

Thomas I definitely have a different experience working with Chris than most people, I think [Thomas is married to Nolan and they have four children together]! But I have to say, when it comes down to his work, he has this insane mind that can somehow keep a hold of what he needs to do from a story sense. He has a crazily focused mind that manages to keep track of everything in the movie. Of course in his personal life [laughs]... When he's shooting a movie it's all about the movie, so you know - put it this way - he's not deciding what the kids are having for lunch! But that's fine, because that's what I'm there for.

Nolan The main thing that I've realise, in making films, is you have to know - I mean, it sounds a little corny - but you really have to know in your heart, you have to know in your soul, that you've made the best film you can possibly make. You need to feel that you've done everything you can to sincerely try and make something that will give the audience an interesting entertainment experience and give them something to think about as well. Have I done that with The Dark Knight? For my own purposes and to my own satisfaction? Yeah, absolutely. I think we've put in an enormous amount of work - from everybody involved - to really try and top what we did last time. I think we all feel that we've succeeded, but ultimately it's not for us to say - it's for the audience to decide.

How The Batman Film Franchise Almost Went “Beyond” « Press The Action Button

[super85]

Jo WB hade ju vid ett tillfälle Batman Beyond, Batman Year One och Batman VS Superman alla i nån form av development. Slutade ju som tur var att vi fick Batman Begins av Christopher Nolan. Finns ju ett draft av nån form av "Batman 5" skriven av Mark Protosevich som Joel Schumacher skulle ha regisserat för att "be om ursäkt till fansen" för att B&R var så usel. Det var ju Joel som kom med idén till att reboota Batman franchisen.
