The Dark Knight Re-Releases January 23rd
From Aint It Cool
“THE DARK KNIGHT” RETURNS TO THE BIG SCREEN ON JANUARY 23RD
THE WIDELY ACCLAIMED HIT WILL BE RE-RELEASED IN THEATRES AND IMAX.
BURBANK, CA, December 4, 2008 – Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing “The Dark Knight” back for a return engagement in theatres and IMAX on January 23, 2009, giving audiences one more chance to see the film on the big screen. The film will re-open nationwide, it was announced today by Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Pictures President of Domestic Distribution.
In making the announcement, Fellman stated, “‘The Dark Knight’ is a crowning achievement in every sense of the word. We wanted to provide one more opportunity for moviegoers to experience it on the big screen as it was meant to be seen.”
One of the most celebrated and successful films of this or any year, “The Dark Knight” has been hailed by both critics and audiences since its original release last July. The film garnered widespread acclaim for its artistic and technical achievements, including the work of its outstanding cast and its director, Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Christopher Nolan (“Memento”).
Led by Christian Bale, reprising his role from “Batman Begins,” and Academy Award® nominee Heath Ledger (“Brokeback Mountain”), the ensemble cast also includes Academy Award® winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”), Gary Oldman (the “Harry Potter” films), Aaron Eckhart (“Thank You for Smoking”), Maggie Gyllenhaal (“Stranger than Fiction”), and Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”).
In addition, critics and moviegoers alike applauded Nolan’s revolutionary use of IMAX cameras to film some of the most challenging action sequences ever created—a first for a major feature film.
Nolan directed “The Dark Knight” from a screenplay written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. Charles Roven, Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan produced the film, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy and Thomas Tull serving as executive producers.
Collaborating with Nolan behind the scenes were two-time Oscar®-nominated director of photography Wally Pfister (“The Prestige,” “Batman Begins”), Oscar®-nominated production designer Nathan Crowley (“The Prestige”), Oscar®-nominated editor Lee Smith (“Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”) and Oscar®-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming (“Topsy-Turvy”). The music is by Oscar® winner and multiple Oscar® nominee Hans Zimmer (“The Lion King,” “Gladiator”) and seven-time Oscar® nominee James Newton Howard (“Michael Clayton,” “The Fugitive”), who previously collaborated on the score for “Batman Begins.”
Originally released on July 18, 2008, “The Dark Knight” broke virtually every possible box office record to become the top-grossing film of 2008 and the second-highest grossing movie (domestically) of all time.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Syncopy Production, a Christopher Nolan film. “The Dark Knight,” is based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by Bob Kane.
“The Dark Knight” is distributed worldwide in theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. The film has been rated PG-13 for “intense sequences of violence and some menace.”

I'll go see it again. Nothing good is coming out in January.
Re: The Dark Knight Re-Releases January 23rd
Yeah, not much in January, but Gran Torino will prob go wide, as will Defiance. Both of those look at least decent. And then there's the 3D horror film I'll prob go see solely because it's a horror film in 3D. Blood better be splattering like a mother----er, I'll tell you that!

I am interested in seeing Notorious and Gran Torino as well, but will still probably see TDK one more time on the big screen

So let me get this straight. They said back in September or so that TDK would be re-released, then LAST WEEK said that they wouldn't re-release it, and now they say they will.

If this is on more than IMAX screens and second-run theatres, then it won't make sense. People won't pay eight dollars for something you can rent on DVD for two dollars.
Meanwhile, what I want to see in January:
Gran Torino
Defiance
Notorious
The Unborn (Jewish Exorcist? I'm there!)
Inkheart
Underworld 3 (this might actually be pretty good, it seems like they're breathing new life into it by focusing on the Lycans)

Yeah, remember how The Departed made an Academy run in January? It didn't do much of anything.

This is not The Departed. This is the movie that made 530 million freaking dollars! This is a phenomenon. It will make at least 25 million more.
Re: The Dark Knight Re-Releases January 23rd
I might check it out in IMAX. I didn't get to see it the first time in IMAX.
Re: The Dark Knight Re-Releases January 23rd
$25 million more? You're on crack. $10 million, tops.

This has nothing to do with a bid for awards season in many catagories, right? LOL!

If they were smart they'd market this as "let's beat Titanic!". Hell, I'd go see it twice again if there was a possible way to get that damn movie off of number one...

Re: The Dark Knight Re-Releases January 23rd
Sort of random tidbit:
I do know for a fact that The Dark Knight has been submitted for Best Screenplay. I also know of a few other films being submitted as well (including Frost/Nixon and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).
Also, The Dark Knight FYC ads were placed in Variety not too long ago:

Yeah, I can see it maybe winning best adapted screenplay -- 'cause they would cite the DC Comic as source material, right? Although Frost/Nixon (from the stage play) should make a run at it too.

Any best adapted screenplay nominee will have its hands full with Doubt. The play won a pulitzer fer fucks sake.
