empire banner 2 New Details About The Dark Knight Rises Revealed

Empire Magazine just released their latest issue, which (as we showed you this past weekend) features Bane and Batman on the front covers. Inside the issue are new exclusive photos, as well as a wealth of new information about The Dark Knight Rises gleaned from interviews with Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, and Tom Hardy. Points of discussion include where, or rather, when the story picks up, Bane and his mask, and the details surrounding the 6-minute prologue that is coming December 16th in front of select IMAX showings of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Considering these details are being discussed by and with the approval of Christopher Nolan, I’d say their spoiler level is fairly light. But if you happen to be a person who wants to go in as fresh as possible, or you’re someone who wants to avoid set pictures of any kind, perhaps the rest of this article isn’t for you. For the everyone else, welcome. Read the rest of this entry »

tdkr wrap Production Update #13: A Thats A Wrap! Wrap Up

And so you have it, The Dark Knight Rises has wrapped its 7 month long, 3 continent wide shoot. It has certainly been an adventure for Christopher Nolan and the cast & crew of the final installment of the Gotham Trilogy. From May in Jodhpur, India to November in New York City, the filming of The Dark Knight Rises has been a widely publicized, massive production. And yet somehow it stayed relatively secretive in the grand scheme of things, especially for those who didn’t scour the internet for every cellphone video and photo from the sets.

We covered the important milestones of the production over the span of twelve production updates. We’ll summarize those articles, as well as include a batch of the latest and last photos from filming in NYC, here in this final update. If you’ve managed to hold yourself to a strict standard of spoiler-avoidance, read no more. Although it should be noted that we hold ourselves to a somewhat strict standard, and the things we mention tend to be relatively mild in their spoiler-y-ness. Read the rest of this entry »

tdkr chant Be A Part Of The Score For The Dark Knight Rises

Hans Zimmer just launched an awesome campaign via UJam, a website which he co-founded, asking for fans to add their voice to the score of The Dark Knight Rises. He needs voices for the chant heard at the end of the film’s teaser trailer. Hans says, “I’m shining the bat-signal up into the sky to call you all! We need to hear your voices! Now and Loud! We are creating the sound of a worldwide chant. Everyone come and be part of it.”

To add your voice to the chant, go to the UJam campaign page and follow the simple instructions. They claim there’s no such thing as bad recording, or one that they can’t fix later. “Make it yours.” So head on over, listen to the example, get a taste of the score, and add your voice to The Dark Knight Rises! Now if they only told us what we’re chanting…
