I know, it's shocking that I am posting something that is completely irrelevant to Christopher Nolan or Batman. But its something I think worthy of attention and hype. The Wachowski siblings have given us some great things (The Matrix) and some terrible things (The Matrix sequels) but they have always been interesting. So when I heard the premise for "Cloud Atlas" I was intrigued.
It's based on a novel, where different stories, dating all over history and the future, intertwine. I've never read the book, I plan to, so I don't know how good the source material is but the idea is pretty crazy.
We (meaning other film snobs and geeks) kept hearing about different things, like Tom Hanks being cast, followed by Hugh Grant...yeah Hugh Grant in a non chick-flick? That's enough to peak my interest But you also have Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Ben Wishaw, Jim Sturgess and of coure Hugo Weaving. So my interest grew even more. Finally we have been given a glimpse into what this is actually going to look like. Honestly, I'm even more in the dark of what this movie is about after viewing the extended trailer. But the visuals look more than amazing and the acting looks extremely solid. Unfortunately Warner Bro's have taken down any video except the exclusive Apple Trailer's one so I have to just link you to it here. Enjoy!

The Dark Knight Rises - Featurette
What a better way to send the already unbelievable hype of this movie into literal overdrive then release this featurette. In true Christopher Nolan fashion it doesn't spoil anything, we see many clips that we have already seen through trailers and tv spots, but hearing the insight from Chris and Wally Pfister (my favorite Cinematographer) is amazing. The scale of this movie is unbelievable, and to watch some of the stunts that are done here makes me so giddy it's not even funny.
I can't stress enough to people how this movie is going to far exceed any of the insane hype I have been throwing at it. I realize that I am the worst kind of fanboy and that I would blindly follow this director anywhere he took me, but seriously this is going to be something incredible. Yesterday test screenings were held and people at Super Hero Hype that saw it raved about it, claiming it is better than both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Everyone who tweeted about their reactions to seeing it boasted that the last twenty minutes are phenomenal....so let the hype continue to build! Less than two weeks to go!
