I live in Oceanside, but from what I have found out I think I have to drive into San Diego to see it. Damn.

 

[John McGuirk]

I wish we could get some description leaks

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

We might get some on the 9th.

 

[John McGuirk]

I was reading that one that's circulating, but there's no way the movie would start with Bane breaking Batman. That'd be as stupid as killing Optimus Prime at the beginning of Transformers 2.

I know the theater in Escondido is listed as Digital but it would probably still be worth a phone call just in case.

Drew McWeeney of HitFix did a little report on the Empire covers, and while most of the article is just basically summarizing his thoughts on the film, the covers and other related tidbits, he did have some interesting things to say about the prologue.

Our first best look at what he's got up his sleeve will be the six-minute prologue sequence in IMAX that is playing exclusively in front of the 70MM IMAX engagements of "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." The people who I've talked to who have seen the six-minute segment just smile at the mention of it, and I've been told to expect something on a much larger scale than the opening bank robbery from "The Dark Knight" which played in front of the IMAX prints of "I Am Legend." That's going to be the moment where we really get a sense of what tone to expect from this one, and I'm willing to bet it's going to be very different than either of the first two films.

For some reason those words got me very, very excited for this prologue (even probably more than I currently am). And that's why I'm ultimately looking forward to the prologue more than the trailer. While I'm sure the trailer is going to be amazing and give us a really great look at the film and its story, the prologue is going to really give us a look at the tone, atmosphere and overall feeling of the movie. I remember watching the prologue for The Dark Knight back in December 2007 and thinking I just saw a clip from a movie that could have been directed by Michael Mann. It had a very distinct Heat vibe even down to the music that emulated Trent Reznor and Brian Eno (especially "Force Marker" from the Heat score).

I'm very curious to discover the kind of tone and atmosphere we're going to unearth once we see the prologue. I think it's going to be very indicative of the tone and feeling that Nolan will be going for with The Dark Knight Rises. Plus, on top of all of that, there's nothing quite like watching footage from a Nolan Batman film in IMAX. It's an incredibly immersive experience. Besides, for those six minutes, it's going to feel like I'm actually watching the film. As good as Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is likely going to be, I feel bad for that movie because during the movie and after all I'm going to be thinking about is The Dark Knight Rises and those six minutes.

if it is a larger scale then maybe it is Batman on the batpod and police chase.

I doubt it. We saw that in Begins. I doubt seeing it again would "blow everyone away."

Alright, the prologue is the introduction to Bane that sets the film's tone. Hmmm. Reckon it's going to be Batman vs Bane scene the trailer and Empire pictures are showing off?

 

[Nevincer]

I do. Either that or a Bane flashback, but I doubt a standalone Bane scene would be that effective to the audience, he's no Joker so people wouldn't immediately realize the prologue were for a Batman film if that were the case.

Yes, I am now bracing for a Bane/Batman smackdown. It would certainly set the tone for the film and shock the audience. Perhaps the scene is set in 2012, and then the eight years thing happens?

 

[warriorathlete]

Could it perhaps be the football stadium scene? They did say it would "blow" our minds. I know it seems like weird timing in the film but, they did say it's on a larger scale.

Also, on that list that someone posted for IMAX theatres, what does CDC stand for?

 

[Blue Sugar]

My guess is the plane crash thing they did at the hangars.

Glad someones there with me. I agree.

 

[AnneFan]

Whatever it is, I'm sure we'll all be blown away. Look at the response we've had to these pictures and little bits of information.

 

[John McGuirk]

This has to be a Bane intro. Just like 2007.

 

[Van Petrol]

Keep watching after the spot finishes.

 

[John McGuirk]

That growl... gotta be him breathing.

 

[batman11]

Keep watching after the spot finishes.

That's fan-made. Read the description.

 

[dark_b]

the prologue will show the beginning of the movie with Bane and then they will show an extended 2.30 minute trailer. the trailer will be different from the Sherlock trailer

 

[Nevincer]

Lol, it fooled me... ah well.
