He Is Coming
For those of you who are counting the days until the special (IMAX) preview of The
Dark Knight, in comes some great news. Warner Bros. has allowed UGO a special screening of the film's opening sequence and the site can't stop talking about it.
The Dark Knight's Six Minutes
I don't know if you can call a detailed description of the first six minutes of The Dark Knight spoilers, but some of you who want to go in to IMAX theaters with a fresh head might want to hold off on reading this. Wait, who am I kidding, this report is too awesome to pass up.
It starts off with a breathtaking shot of Gotham City in broad daylight. The camera swoops into this big glass skyscraper the way only an IMAX movie can. It was stunning. Then BOOM! One of the windows in this big glass skyscraper is blown out. It then cut to two thugs in ugly clown masks (the ones we saw in the first publicity stills that were released months ago) shooting a zip line down to an adjacent rooftop.
Cut to the street as we see another thug waiting on a street corner with his clown mask in his hand. We’re looking at him from behind and can’t see his face. A van pulls up and the thug puts on his mask and jumps in to join the rest of the clowns. The clown who’s driving is bitching about how this Joker guy who planned the heist didn’t even bother to show up and questions why they should cut him in on any of the loot. There’s an awesome line from one of the clowns about The Joker and how he wears make-up as “war paint” to scare the crap out of people. Very cool stuff.
The report continues on for pages and even gives props to William Fichtner, who makes an appearance during the opening sequence.
Add to Heffee!
