The Dark Knight TDK UK Thread

[CJWilkie]

^ well some might have to get to a more exclusive area, otherwise anyone could come on the day and stand behind fences...which is easier said than done as the day wore on - I arrive behind about 3 rows of people, not too bad, but just enough to keep me out of autograph range, but then everyone behind starts pushing into you and it gets crazy. lots of fun.

I know I said that I wouldnt post again till Wed but I had to tell you about my time at the Premiere.

I ended up getting there for about 11 and it was already busy.
I had planned to meet SSH poster Jezzer up there, we met after the viral campaign.
When we were there we also met up with NoTsOsErIoUs who was in Joker outfit like us.
We then ended up getting our photos takne with so many people around us, it was incredible.
Then we were asked to pose for photos with The Daily Mirror in front of the barriers, what followed is what I can only describe as media hype on us.
We did several interviews including Sky News, ITV, Capital Radio, Myspace, some Portugeuse TV channel, and at the end some of the guys were interviewed by CNN and I was interviewed by BBC.
We were also photographed to promote a new Mineral Water drink.

On top of that we met Christopher Nolan and his wife Emma, Aaron Eckhart, Commisioner Loeb (dont know his name) who I got autographs off
with thanks to NoTsO.

The stars didn't watch the film so they came out soon after, Bale also gave NoTsO a thumbs up for his outfit.

Oh and they had the Tumbler there driving around.

Incredible night

^^^ "they came out soon after"!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! damn I wish I'd stayed a bit longer then

 

[CJWilkie]

oh, and I got a couple of photos of you guys in Joker gear - I remember meeting some of you on the trailer scavenger hunt. NoTsOsErIoUs was ace

sounds so awesome, man I wish I was staying at my Grandad's then I could of come to the premiere, normally I live 250miles away.

 

[sarg2k]

Yeah, the security said they were going to introduce it then head off somewhere else.

NoTsOsErIoUs outfit is amazing and he was in great demand for photos

 

[sarg2k]

A couple of photos for you from tonight

 

[Darkfly]

awesome man, anybody got pics of themselves or people dressed up as the joker, etc

 

[sarg2k]

I didnt get many myself but NoTsO had a mate that was taking loads of photos which we should have soon. Here are the others I had.

We befriended a Harley and Batgirl

Jezza and NoTsOsErIoUs

that's just plain awesome, I love the expression of the lady in the background in the first pic.

 

[Karem-Knight]

Aw right, I think I saw you guys. I was wearing a white shirt and black shorts, didn't know you were from the hype.

 

[Two-Face]

Great stuff ^


I only met Aoran Eckhart and he signed my TDK poster, I told him how awsome he was and he said "Have you seen TDK?" I said i see it in two days... he was so great.

 

[jezza]

It was indeed an amazing evening. I'm sorry to say I didnt get many photos. But then we can just leave that to the press t:

 

[CJWilkie]

OK, here are my pics - they're only in spoiler tags because they're massive. I'm still pissed I didn't get a signature or anything even though i was practically throwing myself at these guys

Some good photos there CJ. Was good running into you again

 

[Darkfly]

damn so awesome, Bale looks a bit miffed, saw him live on GMTV this morning & he wasn't in the chirpiest of moods either.

I got that vibe too - he and Michael Caine seemed like "oh god not more bloody autographs".
Maggie Gyllenhaal was lovely though. Aaron Eckhart was massively charming. And Chris Nolan just had this constant look of glee on his face, chuffed to bits, the sound of $200million worldwide still ringing in his ears probably Though when he said "I hope you enjoy it" (the film), yeah, he looked proud of what he'd achieved, to say the least...

 

[Darkfly]

Maggie Gyllenhaal & Aaron Echart are two of my favourite actors/actresses, Maggie looks so pretty in that picture, man I love'em both, saw Stranger Than Fiction & Thank You For Smoking over the last few days which was pure coincidence, both awesome films.

 

[Brick]

Well done Sarg2k and Cjwilkie. Great pictures

 

[Two-Face]

Man you were lucky, I was lucky to get one star- Aaron Eckhart sig.

 

[Batmania]

damn so awesome, Bale looks a bit miffed, saw him live on GMTV this morning & he wasn't in the chirpiest of moods either.

Lol, he's usually like that.

Awesome pictures. It all looks amazing. I'm not jealous at all.

 

[Van Petrol]

Cool pics, thanks for sharing!

 

[jezza]

I think this would be the reason for Bale's miffed look http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1453926.ece

apparently the imax press screening last night broke down halfway through at the london branch...I'll go nuts if that happens on thursday
