Nothing says The Dark Knight better than Dominoes Pizza? Well, that's the current site promoting a little extra goodies for Bat fans eagerly awaiting the sequel. A new trailer with extra footage has popped up online called The Dark Knight Vault, which you can watch by clicking here.
In other news, as fellow Maniac Hanso "aka The Joker" passed along, both Gary Oldman and director Christopher Nolan talked briefly with MovieWeb on possibilities of a third installment. Both were vague on whether Nolan would be returning to direct the third film in the franchise at this point of time. That's not surprising. No director wants to talk about jumping back in before the second one even hits theaters. They need a break. But Oldman did hint at a new villain that could be the headliner for the next film. To read what he said, click here. Thanks Hanso!
The upcoming sequel stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. Director Christopher Nolan led the production, based on a screenplay that he co-wrote alongside brother Jonathan Nolan.
Plot Summary: "The Dark Knight" reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman's war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.
The Dark Knight will hit IMAX and standard theaters July 18, 2008.
