[...] in September, you’ll remember we reported that Warner Brothers planned to theatrically re-release The Dark Knight in order to further its chances at next year’s Academy Awards. Well now the studio has [...]

i think that Heath has a very good chance of winning an award but if they push back the date they are going to release it on dvd i might crawl in a corner and cry

I think TDK has a decent chance of winning an award, but only for Heath. I think it deserves more, but I think that Heath Ledger will be the only thing that really has a chance of winning an award due to this film being a comic book movie.

I doubt TDK will get any oscars. Not that it doesn’t deserve some, but because it doesn’t have enough of an anti-youknowwhat message to win one. That seems like the whole reason for movie awards shows lately.

I do think it deserves a cinematography award and IM should get a special effects award.

And Tropic Thunder should get a new reward called “best use of Tom Cruise” award, lmao.

I am a Batman/TDK fan and I care if it gets Oscar nods.

It definitely deserves a few…

I will purchase the DVD and consider supporting a theatrical re-release if it’s in IMAX.

I don’t really think that a re-release will increase the chance fo an Oscar nod though…

I see nothing wrong with rereleasing it, even if it’s already on DVD– it’ll bring back more awareness to the film in the mainstream, which IS important even if fanboys remember the film, plus I’m sure by then many fans of the film will want to see it again. I know a lot of people who’ve seen TDK once, because they don’t think it worthwhile to just go see the same movie they just saw in theatres the week before.

I’ll be ready to go see it again by then, so I’m sure many more will, too.

Rob, a lot of the Divix stuff is bootleg, (I don’t care what anyone says) but I don’t think they have produced any screeners yet for those films,,,
(But there’s allways actor copies that could easly be pirated by an asst or what have you)

Screeners usually come out in late December and believe it or not all have watermarks that you can’t see while watching them.
The watermarks are viewable thru a device the studios use… Usually with their lawyers.

It can get ugly…

Its true 790, there are DVD rips of Ironman, TDK and Mummy 3 already up. That means 100% quality versions online.

I guess the DVD screener copies get passed around too easily and no longer have those crazy messages or cuts in it anymore. I’m shocked how early these come up.

Sorry Jamie, but I’ve only seen it once in the theater and I enjoyed the movie immensely. That being said, I shelled out my $10 and I will be shelling out the cash for the DVD so I can watch it repeatedly so why would I go to the theater a second or third time? Just to help the movie make even more cash??? Granted, if I could see it in a discount theater for $3 I would go in a heartbeat, but $10 is a lot of cash to see a movie AGAIN.

Well your number of articles depend on movie news available, AND you and your team only bring us the most pure organic movie news. even if it gets slow it’s worth the wait. I just noticed recently there has been a lotta posts here. I say awesome job Vic, Niall, Kofi, Bruce and Jamie. hope I didn’t leave anyone out.

If they delay the DVD to force people to watch in theatres to see it again for their little Oscar presentation (what a sad concept), that would suck.

Who hates the oscars but watches it every year and organizes a pool for it… Me! Man do I ever hate the academy awards, heh.

I hope they do push the dvd back just to see what happens.

I gotta disagree 790 Most people who are going to get it illegally already have or already plan to. Overall the DVD sales won’t be affected by this only in the short term. When it’s all said and done though it won’t matter. Hell I already have TDK on my computer, but I’ll still by the DVD when it comes out. I just have the one on my comp to hold me over.

i’ll definitly go see it.
will there be a midnight showing on the first day?

By: 790

790 — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 23:06:36 +0000

Well,,,,,,
It would be a huge loss in Christmas dvd profits,,,
Also the longer they wait could effect the illegal pirated dvd market.
If you know where to go, you can allready download TDK online.

I don’t see what the big deal is. Lets face it if the delay the DVD release it won’t sell any less than if they did it in December. Everyone wants to buy this will buy it regardless of when it comes out. Personally despite the fact that I would love to get my hands on a DVD asap I like this idea because I think it’s about time that a comic film at least gets considered for a nomination other than music.
