Cruddy-Looking

Hollywood Chicago‘s Adam Fendleman is pointing to an ugly, cell-phone video of the new Dark Knight trailer — shot in a theatre with reddish tints and all the crappy ambient noise that you always get with these things. An official, much better looking version of this trailer will be viewable this Sunday.
The best thing about the trailer is Heath Ledger‘s voice. He’s speaking in a kind of raspy Midwestern twang. Nothing at all that sounds the least bit Ennnis del Mar-ish.

  1. Yep, my nipples got hard and my scrotum tingled from watching that.
    Can only imagine what the official version will do to me.

  2. Even on a shaky camera phone, it looks great. It looks like some great performances are coming (or at least as good as they can get in a comic book movie) from everyone involved.
    Is that the key to movies like this? Nic Cage, Colin Ferrell, Ben Affleck…those guys just don’t cut the mustard. I think you have to get character actors to play these parts, not big stars. Even though Heath Ledger could have been a big star, he was really on his way to becoming a great character actor. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, & Aaron Eckhart are some damn fine actors & that’s the only way to make these movies good.

  3. I’ve got a nice 1080p resolution (wmv format) of the first full trailer that I stream on my 360…I want that for this trailer too. It’s fucking fantastic. When is it going to be July?

  4. The best thing I’ve seen from this film so far is the youtube clip of the first five minutes of the film. Can’t find it any more, but it looked like Nolan have learned more about shooting action scenes, which will hopefully remove the one real weakness from this series.

  6. Looks great, and the good thing is, its actually not showing everything in the movie like most trailers are. I got to be an extra in three scenes, and only one is in the ads. The others are going to be fun surprises for you…

  7. Nic Cage’s performance was the only thing that made Ghost Rider worth watching (and I was a huge GR fan as a kid).
    The movie was crap, but thanks to Cage at least it was hilarious, insane crap.
