Nolan knows the secret - if people can't hear what they're saying, they'll pay to come back.


Billions of dollars and counting, folks. You got a better idea?

You guys think that The Dark Knight Saga will be in thirty years what Star Wars is now? The original films, I mean, not all that Expanded Universe/Prequel crap.

Difficult to say, the original SW films have been slightly tainted by the prequels and the Nolanverse is only one take on a character that's been on the big screen (and small screen) several times. With dear ol' Bats most likely getting a kick of the reboot boot after Nolan walks away, who knows how this trilogy will be regarded? It's tough to compare a trilogy of movies based on one man's take on a comic book character to an original IP like the Star Wars trilogy.

I'm just wondering on impact of the films. I hate Star Wars, but I don't deny it's impact. The Dark Knight films is pretty much my Star Wars, my die-hard great cinematic love. I entrust Nolan to take us to the promised land with TDKR.

Yeah, that sounds fair. Hm, I wonder how closely the next director will hew to Nolan's style of narrative and tone. It'll probably be as different as Nolan was from Schumaker and Burton and how different they were from each other.

No chance in hell that it will have the same impact in the media or be as iconic.

It has been better though, and hopefully will continue to be.
 
Does Nolan's first post-TDKR project get released before Cameron ever gets into production on Avatar 2?

WTF Cameron, you're old. Stop messing around with shit. Even Malick finally realized he's old and is working on like 15 films now.

Now, what do you mean when you say in production? Do you mean shooting? Because technically he's already done more than a year of pre on Battle Angel + Camera/CG tests.

What exactly is Battle Angel? I've heard the name around, but I still have no idea what it is.

Post-apocalyptic future Earth with cyborg heroine.

The series is set in the post-apocalyptic future and focuses on Alita, a cyborg who has lost all memories and is found in a garbage heap by a cybernetics doctor who rebuilds and takes care of her. She discovers that there is one thing she remembers, the legendary cyborg martial art Panzer Kunst, which leads to her becoming a Hunter Warrior or bounty hunter. The story traces Alita's attempts to rediscover her past and the characters whose lives she impacts on her journey.

Well they've already hired out entire soundstages in Malibu, have already got artists working on concepts and are still tweaking the underwater mocapp system..

The films will happen, we just don't know exactly when. Avatar was originally meant to hit in mid 2007.

Cameron will be like Weyland (Prometheus) when Battle Angel gets released. :p
 
Don't start sucking each other's dicks just yet. I remember in 2003 when I thought The Matrix was our generation's Star Wars. That was a sure bet...at least I thought it was.

The difference is that Cameron only knows how to make amazing sequels. It's like he can't even control it.
 
I really wish Cameron would get Arnold for Avatar 2. Sucks that Arnold went back to taking the highest paying projects, no matter how shitty it is.

Oh, that's still happening? I thought it wasn't part of the plan anymore with the whole "I'm strictly in the Avatar business" (paraphrasing) comment.

That was the internet being the internet - ie: taking a comment out of context and yelling it off rooftops. He's in the 'Avatar business' for the near future - which we already knew since he has two huge fucking sequels to make at the same time that he's focusing on. That was all he was saying.

He already did a followup interview saying as much. He still *plans* on doing Battle Angel. We probably won't see it for something like 8 - 10 years though.

If he's going to try and one-up Quaritch, then Arnold is the only option. Them reuniting would be a dream come true. Hell, he could even use his fancy tech to bring return Arnold to his 80s glory.

No. It will be well-regarded, but Nolan's universe doesn't lend itself to the kind of imagination and speculation that Star Wars did.

LOTR comes closest but that's mostly by default, because it didn't fall flat on its face like Matrix and Pirates did. I also think it's lost its luster over the past decade, but that's a debate for another day.
