Found out via my local paper that the 23rd July IMAX showing has completely sold out so that's a new experience for me, attending a film in a fully booked up cinema. |

http://www.whysoserious.com/kickingandscreening If you follow the link it's a bunch of US cities holding free screenings three days before the US general release date, all on IMAX (unlike the advanced screenings in the UK which were either to be shown on IMAX or at regular cinemas)...all sold out. I'm not suprised. There's a report in the Uk that the IMAX in London is "seriously considering" (exact quote) screening The Dark Knight "24 hours a day" (again exact quote). Ticket sales for The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience that extra shows including one at 2:30am will be airing. Like I said, mine is sold out. Care to suggest reasons why The Dark Knight is doing such great business, is it because of Batman, the rave reviews or because it pits Batman against his greatest enemy? |

Total Film also gave The Dark Knight the same score. The premiere of The Dark Knight has being covered in the UK media including news and radio. Some touching comments all round by the main cast. ITV's coverage of The Dark Knight was appalling calling it Batman at one stage, and even worse I shit you not, "The Knight Rider" twice which is shoddy reporting. |

ITV called it The Knight Rider? That is fantastic... I can just imagine the Hoff in the Batsuit... You might want to check out empireonline.co.uk, Natural. They are doing a big 15 day lead up to the film coming out... already 5/6 days in, and there are some decent articles up there. |

Well, seeing it at midnight tonight with Salty. The theater has assigned seats with the tickets, so we don't have to show up 6 hours early in order to get a good seat, which feels strange because it seems like this film is the only one I'd consider getting their really early. Well, now there just the task of passing the hours. |

The tickets I bought for the IMAX next week are not assigned so I don't know what to feel about that as I'm kinda expecting jostling. Me and my Dad are going to have to get there early (I was advised to get there an hour beforehand by the cashier who I bought the tickets from). It's unreal to think about all that has led up to The Dark Knight's release in America tommorow (and a week later for us in the UK which irritates but I get comfort seeing it in IMAX at the earliest date possible) and I thought I'd do a summary post looking back at developments during this period: At first, this was thought to be how The Joker would look in The Dark Knight: ![]() I thought it was a good look, until the first official picture of Heath Ledger as The Joker was released and out of all the pictures taken from The Dark Knight at any time, this still shocks me the most and left me speechless when I first saw it (I liked it and it still one of my favourite pictures): ![]() On the subject of looks, this includes a new Batsuit which divided opinion (I liked it from the start) and the Batpod (which was the only thing I wasn't keen on, but having seen it in action, I like it but the Tumbler reigns supreme). Lost in the shuffle somewhat with how The Joker would look, was how Two-Face would look, and a picture leaked which was moved by studio request. I have posted it in a spoiler and like how I liked the look of The Joker, I also liked the picture of Two-Face. ![]() ![]() Spoiler: click to toggle The viral campaigns have being excellent allowing you to support Harvey Dent and Jim Gordon for example but my favourite build up to The Dark Knight is without question, the first full length trailer released in December 2007 and seeing Heath Ledger in live action for the first time as The Joker. Other trailers have followed and have being great such as the Domino's one, but the one from December has a special X factor to me. Sadly one month later, Heath Ledger died of an accidential drug overdose and is not here to enjoy the criticial acclaim his role as The Joker has generated but of more importance the Ledger's lost a son, brother and a father. Christopher Nolan's written tribute to Heath was a beautiful tribute. I also must mention the death of Conway Wickliffe who was killed in September in a stunt-car accident. In closing I look forward to reading poster's reflections of the time leading up to The Dark Knight's release tommorow if they wish (I think I have forgotten some). I look forward to reading posters views of The Dark Knight and all I ask is for posters to use spoiler tags or indicate a spoiler is upcoming in their review for me and others like me. Rest assured I will be asking questions general questions about The Dark Knight (performances, how good it is etc) until I see it next week so be ready ; ) |

Well, saw it. Contrary to previous thoughts, the seats were not assigned. We got there and hour early and were lucky enough to get a seat in the second row. Even though I came out with neck pains from permanently looking up, it was still hella enjoyable. Not gonna post any spoilers, but rest assured, it IS that awesome. |
