Bat & Supes Perspectives

Once again The Los Angeles Times spoke with director Christopher Nolan who felt the need to justify why he is not gonna shoot The Dark Knight Rises in 3-D.

"We want the look and feel of the film to be faithful to what has come before in the films. There was a large canvas and operatic sweep to “The Dark Knight” and we want to make a film that will carry on with that look and feel" he says.

Nolan promises that he and cinematographer Wally Pfister will instead use more IMAX in the next one - "We’re looking to do something technologically that’s never been done before. Our ambitions are to make a great movie."

He sees the pic as the closing chapter of a trilogy - "our ambition for the third movie is to complete a story that has begun. This is not starting over, this is not rebooting. We’re finishing something, and keeping a consistency with what’s come before has real value."


Bravo!!

Meantime current Bat-composer - Hans-Zimmer chatted with NBC San Diego and said that he and Nolan will begin discussing ideas for the film next week, and his work on the film starts earlier than most - "I'll start long before he starts shooting."

Zimmer is also working on the Nolan-produced Superman: Man of Steel and says that he WILL NOT be reusing John Williams legendary theme, but will try and do something as resonate and iconic with the music that also sounds familiar...

While I understand the need for a fresh perspective music wise for Supes--The new theme's debut means the end of an era that can not be matched no matter Zimmer's talent
