[CFE]

For everyone snatching up a Blu-Ray copy of "The Dark Knight" there will be a Live Community Screening of the film on December 18th in which the first 100,000 participants will be able to chat with Director Christopher Nolan while watching the movie.

The link above is to register for the event.

in which case Fan boys will complain and piss him off to the point that he doesn't come back.

Oh yeah, this will be just great.

PS: Can someone tape this or transcribe it (i don't know how it works) and post it online for those of us without blu-ray?

I fully agree with Anjow...about the morons who will most likely ask him stupid questions.

I seriously wonder how much WB paid him to do this. Since he seems to have integrity and a level of seriousness to his work and how he approaches it...I don't see him as the type to freely volunteer for a gimmick like this.

From most reports, when he does an appearance like that year at WW when they showed the first footage of TDK, he didn't really seem like he wanted to be there.

Darn, It won't let me register...

 

[Bizi Jones]

They did essentially the same thing for Hellboy II...and had a transcript up after...

Alright I'm in, for anyone interested, my username on BDLIVE is "clownprince1979" looking forward to this, it'll fun!

 

[kyuubijavi1]

If any fanboys honestly complain all he has to do is say well you know I could always call Schumacher back. Other than that as long as he's not surrounded by idiots it should be interesting to see what people ask him about the movie.

 

[Anjow1060]

it'll be heath heath heath covo.

I'm not hating on Ledger or anything, but that's 99% of what people are gonna ask him.

Most of which will be reporters swindling their way in trying to get a sound bite from him.

Its not about money. Its about sending a message.

 

[JTStarkiller]

Is it true you have to create an account and username for every studio, or is it just one BD-Live account? Haven't really tried to access that stuff yet.

Wait. He's not answering the questions in here?

'Fanboyism' is one of the reasons I'm not participating. I'd prefer to talk to Nolan as a human being and student filmmaker (and one on one)...which I know I couldn't do during the chat.

Agree. I talked to Jonah Nolan last year, that was an honor.

 

[vlkers54]

So how exactly does this work? You register the day you get the Blu-Ray and the first 100,000 get to be on the live chat on Dec. 18?

 

[CFE]

Well the site linked in the OP is where you can register right now, using your BDLive information.

Then you pick up your Blu-Ray copy and, if you were one of the first 100,000, you're in. Just pop in the Blu-Ray with your BDLive account up and ready to go (I'm assuming, I'm not on BDLive) and you'll be good to go.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Is this confirmed that Nolan will appear? Or is it just some cheap marketing thing that will draw people to do this?

 

[BDS23420]

how do u sign up for BD Live?

Well it's featured on Myspace's front page today...so I'd regard it as official, since I can't see Myspace making THAT big of a marketing blunder.

They should have something like that as a rule. When this transcript comes out the last thing I want is to filter through pages of OMGZ, this movie was so kewl! or You're da man Nolan.

 

[Mr. Para-Normal]

I agree I going to try to get into the community screening but I fear there will be stupid people who say things like OMG this movie rocks. Or other things that add no value to the event. I had a similar experience when AOL used to have actors from up comming movies come on and chat with fans. I remember the blade 2 chat with welsley snipes it sucked.I don't even know if that was really him. And fans asked stupid questions and got kicked from the chat it was just not fun lol. Anyway If anyone wants to add me in case we all get into the event my BD-Live id is mr. para-normal. Add me!!!

 

[Crook]

How exactly is this even going to work? It's basically a two-way call between Nolan and literally hundreds of other people.

 

[byte19]

it's why i don't do this either. for this reason alone; by the 12th question all you'll hear is: so, when Gotham City starts, how will Mr. Depp look in all that green?

 

[JokesonU]

A list of the most annoying questions Nolan will encounter on that session:

- OMG Mr. Nolan! I'm your biggest fan!!
- I hate the new Batsuit! Why did you change it??
- Why isn't there a director's cut?
- Why don't you have any deleted scenes of the Joker on the DVD?
- Why aren't there any extended scenes and/or outtakes on the DVD?
- Why did you include so little behind the scenes material on the DVD?
- Will there be a re-release in the future with more extras?
- Will there be another release of the movie with a different cut?
- Did The Joker mouth 'six'?
- Why didn't you include any extra features about Heath Ledger?
- About Heath Ledger...
- Are you going to do a third movie?
- Are you going to cast Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin and Angelina Jolie as Catwoman in a third movie??
- If you use Riddler, are you going to cast Johnny Depp??

I wonder if there is something that will filter these stupid questions out so Nolan doesn't have to deal with the obvious and moronic questions.
