The Dark Knight Will Get Oscar Season Re-Release

Heath-Ledger-Joker-02The Dark Knight will be re-released in January, in time for Oscar voting season. Batman brought home the bacon, now they want him to bring home the gold. We get the following news from the bat caves of Yahoo:

“It’s just a matter of bringing it back as a reminder for people,” a studio insider explained.

Warner Bros. domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with Imax execs over the prospect of restoring the Christian Bale starrer to some giant-screen venues in January. It’s uncertain if “Dark Knight” also will reappear in conventional venues at that point.

This happens from time to time around oscar season, and I think that a rerelease of The Dark Knight is appropriate. I can see people going to see the film again, even if it only makes a limited release in select cites. The Dark Knight got people amped about going to the movies, and that’s what I like to see in a summer blockbuster. Although I’m uncertain if it will take home any awards – I can certainly see TDK getting a new nominations. I personally would like to see Ledger nominated for his role as the Joker – he ruled.
