![]() It's the gold standard and what any other technology has to match up to, but none have, in my opinion.Ĭhristopher Nolan went on to stress that he did this less to force directors to abandon digital formats but more to motivate them to stand up for themselves when studios give them pushback for wanting to shoot on film. I wanted to give them a chance to see the potential because I think IMAX is the best film format that was ever invented. ![]() He touched on this in a 2012 interview with Directors Guild of America Quarterly, stating: Not only does Nolan love IMAX, he's always been one of the format's most vocal supporters, so much so that he brought several filmmakers together and screened the film's prologue to show them what they could do with the format. Nolan is notorious for preferring to shoot on film and even more known for bringing IMAX to narrative-driven films. Here's one more behind-the-scenes fact that has to deal with Christopher Nolan and the prologue from The Dark Knight Rises. Pictures) Christopher Nolan Gave An Early Screening Of The Prologue To Filmmakers To Make A Case For IMAX There were so many extras lined up at the stadium the morning of the shoot it caused gridlock in downtown Pittsburgh, which was made worse that evening when the Pirates hosted a game at nearby PNC Park. At one point, an announcer got on a loudspeaker and told the extras to not ham it up for the cameras. Some of the highlights of the chaotic mess include extras breaking out into chants for Bane and T-shirts, medics being called in for heat exhaustion, and Steelers great Hines Ward riding atop a Batmobile. Shortly after the scene was shot at Heinz Field (now called Acrisure Stadium) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in August 2011, the Post-Gazette published a very detailed report about everything that went down. The destruction of the football stadium (and the bridges and tunnels around Gotham City) in The Dark Knight Rises is one of the most iconic and terrifying scenes in the entire trilogy, but pulling off the feat of destroying a football field with tens of thousands of extras in the summer sun (a scene that is supposed to take place in autumn) was no easy task.

So I looked at the concept of Latin and found a man called Bartley Gorman, who’s a Romani gypsy. In a 2021 Wired video interview alongside Venom: Let There Be Carnage director Andy Serkis, Hardy explained its origin:īane quintessentially is Latinx in origin and I’m not. But while one might assume the voice was something that was drawn up by a committee, the iconic and divisive voice was Hardy’s idea. Love it or hate it, Tom Hardy’s Bane voice is one of the most memorable aspects of The Dark Knight Rises and something people just can’t stop talking about 10 years after its release.
