The Dark Knight Why do they make us wait like this?

[Shedhut]

Seriously, they know who they want for Dent, they probably already signed him, so why are they making us wait like this? What difference would it make whether it's released 10 days away, or now? Nothing, it would make no difference, so why the wait? Just so the confirmation can conveniently coincide with the release of The Prestige, which happens to have the same director that's involved with both?Please, I just wanna get this news now, so I can start getting used to Nolan's choice. This is ridiculous.

I try to minimize my board time so when I come back we have some real Bat news.

The only way that would make sense, based on what *I'M* saying, was if the movie was already fully complete; special FX, musical score, credits, the scenes, etc. and for no good reason, they decide to hold it off for a year and a half. Why? I have no idea...it's fully complete and ready to go, so why not get all of the promotion done and out of the way and then release the movie?

Get what I mean?

If you don't, then how about this example. You go into McDonalds and order some food. After paying the cashier, 2 minutes passes by, and they tell you "alright sir, your food is ready, but just for the heck of it, we're gonna wait an hour before we give it to".

Or how about this? You go into a Best Buy and you buy a nice 72 inch plasma screen tv, but just for the hell of it, they tell you they can't deliver it to you for another 3 months. Well why not? They could easily deliver it to you pretty darn soon, but why make you wait?

Same thing with Harvey Dent casting. He's cast now, so they could easily get the press release ready for Variety and other trusted news outlets to report it, but they choose to make us wait. Why? To build the suspence? We've been building the suspence for the casting of this role ever since Goyer said Harvey would be in this movie and eventually become Two-Face; almost a year and a half now. We've had to go through many different rumours about who'd play Dent. Some good (Schreiber, Pearce), some bad (Timberlake, Phillippe), and now that the role is officially cast, I just wanna know who's playing Dent so, as I said earier, I can get used to who's playing Dent and start worrying about other aspects of the film.

Dude....nothing's final......so that's why we don't know. Once it's final, then we'll know......so, we just have to wait. It sucks.....but, we kinda have no other choice.

Why do they make us wait like this?

Patience is a virtue.

The small text underneath Bryan Singer's 'SR' video blogs told me so.

Only thing is, the download didn't take that long, so the text was irrelevant.

It shares a common thread with this one.

I'm kidding. The wait is the real Killing Joke my friends. They do it to spite us like Iditarod snow dogs. Then, when we're at their mercy, they throw us scraps to salivate our palate. We continue on the trail to the release date, and their scheme to hook us is complete.

Who wins? Warner Bros. The Phillip Morris of Film Studios.

Your insane. The ones following the movie this closely are seeing it regardless. They are most likely just waiting until everything is contracted and set before they announce.

You're right. What can I say? Contemporary insanity happens in modern times.


Ok, ok. Contractual obligations. Official Announcements.

It makes sense.

Apparently, that was my neurotic viewpoint as well, but making a joke out of it was the real crime I guess.
