As somebody who had the original two Ghostbusters movies memorized at an early age, you could say that I had waited pretty much my entire life for a threequel. Actually, we kind of got one in the form of a video game nearly a decade ago, but it didn’t solve the problem of not having something to enjoy on the silver screen.
What’s perversely funny about the situation is how much back and forth played out over the decades, only to have a new flick to get off the ground in what seemed like moments after Harold Ramis’ tragic death. Yes, the reboot we received did have its supporters, but in full disclosure, I’d rather not “answer the call.”
Personal opinions aside, I won’t take anything away from the talented individuals who help bring a story to life. As you know, any given film these days...

Tully Summers It 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. 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. The Dark Knight Rises was directed by Christopher Nolan, from a screenplay written by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan. The cast...

According to comicbookmovie, Cine Web Radio chatted it up with the Dark Knight Rises concept artist Tully Summers,and he revealed a few more,new,details about the highly anticipated flick,including it being more of a war film. First, Sully revealed that director Christopher Nolan’s visual style is what makes his Batman movies so compelling. "He will often prefer a raw, grittier design over one that is very sleek and product design pretty. It’s sort of a practical military aesthetic. This stuff is made to work, not impress shoppers. The Dark Knight Rises is a war film." Next, Sully commented on all the fan photos,and the differences between the official ones. He stated,that all the official camera shots are storyboarded, framed, lighted and choreographed to camera. "Any photos taken that...

It shouldn't come as a shock to anyone who's been paying attention to "Dark Knight Rises" and its development that this film is going to have action, and plenty of it. In fact, director Christopher Nolan's third and final trip to Gotham City is going to be so action-packed, that one could describe it as a war film.
Indeed, that's exactly how "Dark Knight Rises" concept artist Tully Summers has described the upcoming comic book flick. Summers spoke with Cineweb Radio (via Batman On Film) about the film's wartime aesthetic.
"'The Dark Knight Rises' is a war movie," said Summers. "One of the things that makes [Christopher Nolan's] Batman films so good is [the realistic tone]. He often prefers something crude — a more gritty style of design — rather than something very smooth and nice. It's military aesthetic."
Of course, we have a sense of that military design not just from official trailers and photos,...

Concept artist Tully Summers has compared The Dark Knight rises to ‘a war movie’ which features a ‘military aesthetic’, in a new interview with Cinewebradio.com. This is definitely something that has been suggested from the set photos and videos we have been granted since last summer, a lot of which featured Bane of course in his military garb and lots and lots of battle like images featuring hundreds of extras.
Now the original interview with Tully was in French so you will have to pardon the translation and the paraphasing, but you get the idea of what he is saying.
When asked about the differences between The Dark Knight Rises and the other films he usually works on, he said;
“The difference for me was the visual style of Christopher Nolan . One of the things that makes his Batman films are so good is [the realistic tone]. He often prefers something crude...

When a new Christopher Nolan Batman movie is coming out soon, the anticipation just keeps building and building. While The Dark Knight Rises won't arrive in theaters until July, the media can't get enough quotes from anyone associated with the movie.
One recent interview was with Emma Thomas, one of the producers on The Dark Knight Rises (and who also happens to be Nolan's wife.) She was asked by Total Film on two of the new faces we'll see in the sequel, Tom Hardy's Bane and Anne Hathaway's Catwoman.
"Tom made a massive physical transformation for the role... It really is an intense performance," said Thomas. "He finally feels like a match for Batman – both physically and mentally."
She also compared the way that Hardy approached his role as the film's main villain to the way the other guy inside the Bat-suit does it. "Christian Bale and Tom Hardy...

"The Dark Knight Rises is a war film." Cine Web Radio had an interview with Tully Summers, a classically trained illustrator that is best known for his creature designs. He was inspired by one of the most celebrated cinematic wizards, Ray Harryhausen, and his visual style draws a lot from nature as a reference. In the comic book movie community we may not recognize his name, but we sure as hell recognize his art. He has worked on Men in Black 3, Thor,, Avatar, and Green Lantern.. But, it's his work on The Dark Knight Rises that is most intriguing about this interview. When asked about the differences of creating fantasy based designs for films like Men in Black 3 and then going to Nolan's more realistic Batman style, he said: "The difference for me was Christopher Nolan’s visual style. One of the things that makes his Batman movies so compelling...

At first glance, it could be considered a thankless assignment: creating the elaborate prosthetic makeup for Jackie Earle Haley, who was playing Freddy Krueger in the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. After all, the character had already been played in nearly a dozen films, making him one of the most recognizable faces in horror history.
But that wasn’t about to stop makeup effects wizard Andrew Clement from Creative Character Engineering, who was able to create a look for Haley’s Freddy that was new and distinct while still paying homage to elements of the original. Clement recently took time to discuss his work on the film, which includes a couple of memorable moments that unfortunately didn’t make the final cut…
Jn: How did you originally get involved in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake?
Andrew Clement: I had worked with one of the producers on Repo Men.
