Jeff Baker, EVP and GM of theatrical catalog for Warner Home Video, made some comments about the upcoming Nolan boxset:
“The easy part is we have very high expectations as a company for The Dark Knight Rises, based on the success of The Dark Knight,” he said. “… To aggregate most of Christopher’s films into this boxed set and to attach movie cash to encourage consumers to go see the next iteration of The Dark Knight was a logical decision. Where we were a bit conflicted is … generally speaking, our consumers like films of a particular persuasion, whether they’re war films or comedies … or with a particular actor.”

Baker said the studio has had success with four-film favorites sets, such as of the “Lethal Weapon” films, for example. And when it comes to directors, they’ve typically released sets from more long-established directors, such as John Ford or Martin Scorsese.

“Nolan isn’t one-dimensional,” Baker said.

But, he added, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Insomnia and Inception all involve psychological intrigue, saying it could have been called the “mind games” boxed set. And, he said, because of Nolan’s rapid ascension to be one of the top directors in the business, the set made sense.

“We believe that over time, his stock will rise as a director,” Baker said. “… We used the current vehicle of the new film coming out and the consumer value of the movie cash as sort of a hook to launch it. Ultimately we’re committed to Christopher Nolan as a director. We felt that it made sense to have a boxed set out there that bears his name and that it will do well and that consumers will be receptive to it.”
 
Me too. :up:

Someday I'm gonna be all on board discussing the next Batman movie after TDKR. But not in here and not right now. :)

It has to be leaked from someone working in WB and someone got their hands on it.

They're floating around SOMEWHERE on the internet :oldrazz:

Or the source works at WB.
 
I spent a good hour looking at scans of recent magazines and I came up with nothing. I bet that's the next batch of stills we're going to get. It kills me that they're out there somewhere already. :funny:
 
Which pics?

You know, the official site is pretty pathetic right now. Not a single official still to be found.
