Man, it seems like no matter how we try we just can’t get away from talking about The Dark Knight. To sum up my feelings on the movie very quickly: An excellent film that I enjoyed very much and will probably get nominated for an Oscar, but one that I also think is overrated by many in the fan community.
Anyway, as we reported a few months ago, the studio has been planning on brining The Dark Knight back to IMAX and regular theaters, but we haven’t known an exact date. Well… thank to our good friends over at IESB we now know that date. January 23rd.
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.
Without a doubt Warner Bros are fairly confident that The Dark Knight will pick up a couple of Oscar nominations and want to capitalize on that. It’s a brilliant idea.
I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who hasn’t had a chance to see The Dark Knight on IMAX to get out and see it when this new opportunity comes in January. It really is a different experience. I’ll be there, and I’ve already seen in on IMAX twice.
