Author Topic: The Dark Knight Rises OFFICIAL Discussion Thread Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-13-2011 07:39 PM                        This forum needs an OFFICIAL place where we can discuss and make fun of the photos and whatnot which are leaked from the movie. I shall begin. This thread is OFFICIAL. She looks like a clown with that ultra-red lipstick. She is so miscast. Also, she makes no attempt to cover her identity. Also sad is the return of the Bat-Motorcycle. I am assuming that it will get damaged in this movie and turn into a Bat-unicycle. The forum is not powerful enough to embed this image, so you must click here. (Looks like a black-and-white Green Lantern riding that thing) I am amazed that the production team lets so many people get close enough to grab images and vids like some of these. They are not very flattering.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

Kleiman Master Film Handler Posts: 380 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 08-13-2011 09:22 PM                     If you take a look at the video that Joe linked to, which can be seen much better here , you'll see Hathaway's stunt double crashing into an IMAX 15perf/65mm camera. Interesting that at a time when the majority of IMAX theaters are digital, more than half of this film is being shot with large format film stock on what looks to be MSM (Marty and Barbara Mueller) designed cameras. publicity photo (C) WB/IMAX.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2011 11:30 PM                        The way she's riding the motorcycle in that clip makes it look like the world's largest and most mobile sex toy.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-14-2011 02:44 AM                        I thought they were shooting the entire thing in IMAX. I wonder if there will be many (if any) real IMAXes left in the world to see it in. There are no real IMAX locations here in Denver any more. I wonder why they take so much care to cover the stunt-double's head yet they allow footage like this to be shot and leaked.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 08-14-2011 08:09 AM                        Joe, is the Colorado Center no longer using film in its Imax house?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-14-2011 12:04 PM                        Officially, I thought the Dark Knight Rises trailer was terrible. I have a friend who is a real Bat-fan and he thought it was disappointing, too. And, why are they still sending out KDMs for the "encrypted" version of that trailer when the un-encrypted version is readily available on Trailmix?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

While it's great Christopher Nolan is shooting a great deal of the movie in 15/65mm the effort will be wasted without any 15/70mm equipped IMAX theaters. One of the really funny things is a regular movie theater equipped with 4K digital projection will probably show a significantly more detailed image than IMAX Digital shows. Of course this hinges on whether Warner Bros. willy pay for a 4K or higher resolution digital intermediate instead of the default 2K standard. I assume Cinemark has removed the 15/70 projectors from all of their IMAX theaters.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Althaus Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Bedford, TX Registered: Dec 2008 posted 08-14-2011 02:57 PM                     As far as I've seen, there are no more Cinemark 15/70 houses. The only 15/70 in DFW I'm aware of is Colleyville Cinema Grill  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-14-2011 03:37 PM                     That's a fairly new theater isn't it? Are you sure it is equipped for 15/70 film? I figured it was another digital installation.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-14-2011 03:38 PM                        quote: Geoff Jones Joe, is the Colorado Center no longer using film in its Imax house?

That's totally overkill.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-14-2011 03:39 PM                     Are there any 15/70 multiplex locations left? Lincoln Square would be. What about National Amusements? They don't have the big screen, but I haven't heard they have put in digital. Back to BATMAN, here are a couple of shots of the new Batwing. Very impressive: Here and Here.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

According to the theater's web site the IMAX auditorium doesn't have dining service. I would still be surprised if it is film-based (and remains that way up to the release of [i]The Dark Knight Rises{/i]. If it is film-based it would be the only true IMAX venue I would have any chance of visiting. All the others in Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado I've visited previously have gone digital.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-14-2011 06:18 PM                        Maybe you should call and ask them.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-14-2011 07:07 PM                        Yah, just try that -- try calling and asking if they are still running film and if the screen is still 6 stories high and listen to them hem and haw before they put you on indefinate Hold; they are not at all forth-coming with that information. Evidently they are a little sensitive about their digital conversions -- perhaps after the flack they got when people first discovered that IMAX doesn't really mean Big Screen any more, just the same Big Screen price, they'd rather just avoid discussing what is actually in the booth or the size of the screen altogether.  |  IP: Logged
