Chris Nolan on DARK KNIGHT RISES, Eight year gap, Bane, and more.

On How He Feels About Batman's Intense Fan Base:

"It’s terrific, to have people that interested in something. It reminds you that it is a real honor to work on something that means so much to people. I’d love to be able to claim that I invented the whole thing and that’s why they’re interested. I did not. I’ve been given a very precious thing to do my best with, to look after and not to let people down. There’s a certain amount of fear that comes with it and intimidation but it’s also a great privilege. [As for the fans], they want it to be great, they want to go enjoy it and they’re fascinated by it. You know, there’s always controversy regarding things that people will disagree with but hopefully they appreciate the effort of trying to make something good."

On Shooting The Six Minute Opening Sequence:

"We had a lot of fun on it. It was a tricky sequence to shoot but a lot of very talented people worked very hard on it. And I’m thrilled with the result. We shot it in Scotland. We braved the weather — it rains all the time there, a terrible place to do an aerial sequence, which is why no one has sort of done it before. You usually wind up in the desert or something for very practical reasons. But it really came off. We got very lucky with the weather and a lot of good planning went into it. I think it had a very unique look."

On What Makes Bane Such An Effective Villain:

"With Bane, the physicality is the thing. With a good villain you need an archetype, you know, you need the extreme of some type of villainy. The Joker is obviously a particular archetype of diabolical, chaotic anarchy and has a devilish sense of humor. Bane, to me, is something we haven’t dealt with in the films. We wanted to do something very different in this film. He’s a primarily physical villain, he’s a classic movie monster in a way — but with a terrific brain. I think he’s a fascinating character. I think people are going to get a kick out of what we’ve done with him."

On The Eight Year Gap Between The Dark Knight And The Dark Knight Rises:

"It will make a lot more sense to people when they see the film. But it’s not a great mystery — it’s the jumping-off point for the film — but it’s hard for me to articulate it. I think the mood at the beginning of the film will make a lot of sense. If I had to express it thematically, I think what we’re saying is that for Batman and Commissioner Gordon, there’s a big sacrifice, a big compromise, at the end of the ‘The Dark Knight’ and for that to mean something, that sacrifice has to work and Gotham has to get better in a sense. They have to achieve something for the ending of that film — and the feeling at the end of that film — to have validity. Their sacrifice has to have meaning and it takes time to establish that and to show that, and that’s the primary reason we did that. It’s a time period that is not so far ahead that we would have to do crazy makeup or anything — which I think would be distracting — but it gave them something to get their teeth into, particularly Christian in terms of [portraying] this guy who has been frozen in this moment in time with nowhere to go. He really has done an incredible job figuring out how to characterize that and express that."

On What It Was Like To Film His Final Batman Movie:

"I tend not to be too emotional on the set, I find that doesn’t help me do my job. But you definitely get a little lump in your throat thinking that, ‘OK, this is going to be the last time we’re going to be doing this.’ It’s been quite a journey. Hopefully, reflecting that journey — by all of us who made the films — in the three films."

New trailer has been leaked on Youtube!

If you miss this one before it is taken down, just wait and there will be another up in five minutes.



Part of the opening before Sherlock Holmes, too:

Viral Marketing BANE T-shirt

 

[BCT]

That sucks that this is the last one, I heard a rumor that its due to the fact that Christian Bale doesnt want to play Batman if the script has Robin included!

 

[Deepcover]

I've seen it and it looks real dark. Bane looks like a real threat when he blew up the football field and taking over a military plane.

 

[ragincaucasian]

I take back anything I said bad about Tom Hardy.
The trailer and prologue were completely bad ass and he could prove better a character than joker

Even Hathaway looks convincing in the little they showed.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Here's the official trailer. Holy shit! Fucking epic. Also, Anne Hathaway looks really good in this

 

[GibbsGrad2002]

I cant wait to see this movie

 

[The Joker]

Amazing trailer.

 

[BCT]

This movie is going to own!

 

[Deepcover]

Hines Ward made it for a TD.

 

[Deepcover]

A scene from TDKR. The introduction of Bane and the take over of a military plane. It's a bit dark but the sound is top knotch. I hope you all can watch the scene. Enjoy.

The internet has made me ashamed that I like Nolan's movies

The internet has made me ashamed that I like Nolan's movies

:dunno:

 

[Atar554]

The new trailer actually made me worry if the movie will be any good.

Bane talking through the mask was distracting and not in a good way; Catwoman motivated by class warfare? Football field being destroyed and guy with the ball doesn't notice till he hits the TD? Jargon about Gordon being a war hero but this is a "peace time" blah blah? inmates exiting the jail in a clearly orchestrated manner?

cringe worthy for me.

Parody in light of the recent criticism of Bane's voice.




Aaand for the hell of it.

That vid was hilarious. I really hope but doubt bane will come across better on screen then in the prologue and the trailers.
