Author Topic: The Dark Knight (2008) John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-14-2008 03:21 AM                     Scope SR/SRD/DTS/SDDS 7 reels -------- Nothing attached on Australian prints, however there is an 'M' censorship tag preceding the film which should NOT be there. Cut it off, we are not in England here and theoretically, if you're in the theatre watching it...it's too late to know the censorship then anyway. Cut it off.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 07-14-2008 08:22 AM                        John, did it come with DTS discs?  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 07-14-2008 12:30 PM                     At the published running time of 154 minutes, all 7 reels should be VERY full.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-14-2008 05:33 PM                     Yes, DTS discs included and yes, all reels are relatively full. Credits run about 6 or 7 mins. OFLC (our classification body) has it at 152 minutes.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 07-15-2008 01:57 PM                     That's what I get for relying on old data. Seems all sources now are showing a running time of 152 min.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 07-16-2008 11:20 AM                        Thanks John. I just saw it, sounds stunning with DTS.  |  IP: Logged Jake Lafree Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Valparaiso, IN USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 07-17-2008 04:13 AM                        Distributed through Deluxe, prints by Technicolor Warner Brothers About 40% of Reel 7 is credits Attached: Body of Lies/Terminator: Salvation "combo" trailer. ~~Note there was 0 black before Body of Lies, goes directly from green screen to WB logo. There was plenty of black between the two though, along with another green screen. Between Terminator and the opening WB logo for D.K. there was a ton of black (the WB standard) and a decent clear splice, at least on both my prints. Enclosed: - Righteous Kill - Watchmen - Tropic Thunder - Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor - Blindness - Day the Earth Stood Still - Quantum of Solace - Spirit  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

While I can see the teaser for Terminator: Salvation being attached (the movie stars Christian Bale), the inclusion of Body of Lies leaves me scratching my head. Under no circumstances should any trailer OTHER than Watchmen have been attached.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 07-20-2008 02:26 AM                     I agree that they should have switched it around and had the Body of Lies/Terminator 4 combo enclosed and Watchmen attached since they are of the same properties (DC Comics).  |  IP: Logged Jaime Tuzzio Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Salem, OR, USA Registered: Apr 2008 posted 07-20-2008 04:02 AM                 If it was attached and not enclosed I could not (in good conscience) put it first on every single print so I can watch it 34 times in as many hours while hanging out the port window with the volume turned up. Other enclosures: Bolt, Burn After Reading, Twilight  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 07-20-2008 09:21 PM                     Because one of the theaters I'm at has been designated an "official George Lucas Premeiere Theater" (I actually saw the FAX) our DARK KNIGHT print had a CLONE WARS trailer enclosed which I was told we HAD to run, although they didn't care where in the trailer line-up I put it. They even sent an inspector to the 1st show to check. LUCASFILM has a major production facility about half-a-mile from the theater, which may or may not be a coincidence.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.
