The Dark Knight Production Diaries - Do you want them?

[Retroman]

King Kong, 300, Superman Returns have all done video blogs or production diaries showing the ins and outs of the making of the movie.

Do you think Nolan and co. should do them for Batman 2?And if so, how often would you like to see them?

 

[Boom]

I'd have sex with myself if they did.

 

[MJZ]

Supposedly it was offered to have them for BB but Nolan was opposed to the idea.

Personally I'd prefer a bit more mystery this time around, considering we most likely won't have the full script in advance...

 

[buggs0268]

I am against it only because the films that have done it had so much given away that even harry from aint-it-cool news said that by the time that Kong came out, you saw a lot of the movie in those blogs. it just gave away too much. shot them and put them on the DVD release only.

 

[zer00]

for the memory of Jayne:

will we see Bale naked in the shower with no clothes?

 

[The Fallen]

I could do without. I'd be too tempted to spoil myself, and I'm still smarting that the Ra's twist got spoilt for me...

 

[TheDarkKnight]

I say no, only because it takes away from the theatre of seeing the movie for me. If they did one, I'd check it out after I saw the movie. The HBO Behind the Scenes specials show way too much of the movies it kind of spoils it for me.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

I would watch it if they did, but if they don't, I wouldn't mind all too much.

Yeah i think Jackson over did it a little. It hurt experience of Kong. They released something like 54 (!!!) video diaries since they started production in 2004 after that they did even more. They released some more than a dozen post production diaries as well i think.

Singer's reasoning for no more blogs (after 27 of them) was that he didn't think post production was exciting to watch. I don't believe him really. I think he noticed that despite his efforts certain things were been revealed that he didn't want to see revealed.

If Nolan agrees to do it, i could see him and his crew releasing one every 2 months or so just like Zack Snyder's 300.

 

[zer00]

also Singer's blog crew met some accidents.

 

[Retroman]

^^Yeah i forgot about that. One of the guys was mugged i think.

 

[zer00]

Another was impaled.

 

[Mee]

I don't care if they make em, I wouldn't watch em for fear of spoilers.

 

[fabman]

I'd say... FILM EVERYTHING and put it on the DVD. And if they need 3 or 4 discs? Gd. The mo' the better.

 

[Cinemaman]

No. Documentaries about the making of movie on DVD are enough.

 

[fabman]

Enough? Man, I want the whole package

 

[Van Petrol]

Nah, I'm not too keen on it either...

As others have stated it could possibly give a lot away, and I too would also prefer the bit more mystery to the film leading up to its release.

 

[The Only Woj]

I said No.

However, I DO want them to film production diaries ... but only for the "Special Edition" dvd.

 

[Nightwing 52]

I wouldn't mind them unless they didn't spoil anything too revealing. Just enough to show fans what is going on with the films progression. If not, I also wouldn't mind seeing them through the DVD.

 

[Hunter Rider]

No,less we see and know prior to the teaser the better imo

 

[Cinemaman]

No,less we see and know prior to the teaser the better imo

Agreed.

 

[Steelsheen]

i'm a spoiler junkie so YES!

 

[TRUE]

heck no

 

[El Payaso]

Less talking and more moviemaking.

No to production diaries or blogs or any of those things. Just gimme the freeking movie and stop talking so much about them.

 

[Retroman]

OMG! This is so ironic. Just a day after i start this thread Sony goes and launches a video blogs for Ghost Rider and Spider-Man 3.
