<\/a><\/p>\nIt has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.<\/p>\n
But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
\nLeading an all-star international cast, Oscar\u00ae winner Christian Bale (\u201cThe Fighter\u201d) again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne\/Batman. \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises\u201d also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar\u00ae winner Marion Cotillard (\u201cLa Vie en Rose\u201d), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar\u00ae winner Michael Caine (\u201cThe Cider House Rules\u201d) plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar\u00ae winner Morgan Freeman (\u201cMillion Dollar Baby\u201d) reprises the role of Lucius Fox.<\/p>\n
With The Dark Knight Rises, the last in his Dark Knight trilogy, director\/writer\/producer Christopher Nolan completes the story arc he commenced with 2005\u2019s \u201cBatman Begins.\u201d He recalls, \u201cWe were all very excited to bring this tale full circle; that was our chief inspiration for returning to Gotham. We also felt a tremendous sense of responsibility to fulfill expectations based on the first two movies while giving the audience something they hadn\u2019t seen before. It was a tricky balance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Christian Bale, who reprises the film\u2019s title role, details, \u201cIn \u2018Batman Begins,\u2019 you see the tragedy and the pain that motivates this angry young man, who feels useless and is searching for a path\u2014who wants to find out who he is and what he can become. Then in \u2018The Dark Knight,\u2019 he\u2019s discovered that path. He is useful; he is doing what he imagines is the best thing for him to be doing in his life. Now, we are eight years on and he has lost the one thing that gave him a purpose\u2026until he is forced to deal with a new threat to the city and to himself.\u201d<\/p>\n
That threat comes in the form of a merciless, masked villain named Bane, who makes his presence known to the citizens of Gotham with an explosive display of power. While the Scarecrow was a madman and the Joker an anarchist, \u201cBane is a terrorist in both his mentality and his actions,\u201d says actor Tom Hardy, who plays Batman\u2019s new arch-nemesis. \u201cHe is physically intimidating and he\u2019s also very intelligent, which makes him even more dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n
The screenplay is written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on \u201cBatman Begins\u201d and the record-breaking blockbuster \u201cThe Dark Knight.\u201d The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy and Thomas Tull, with Jordan Goldberg serving as co-producer. The film is based upon characters created by Bob Kane and published by DC Comics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Dark Knight Rises\u201d will be presented on 70-millimeter film in 102 IMAX 15\/70mm locations worldwide. Christopher Nolan stated, \u201cHaving shot almost half the picture with large-format IMAX film cameras, it is very important to me that we show \u2018The Dark Knight Rises\u2019 in the IMAX film format wherever possible. Audiences everywhere should be assured that every presentation of the film will be of the highest standard\u2014having benefited from the clarity and depth IMAX cameras offer. However, these 102 screens will showcase the original IMAX film photography in its optimum form, and I hope anyone who has an opportunity to experience the film in these theatres will seek it out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
