More Exclusive Comcast Videos July 18th, 2008

Com­cast have posted some more exclu­sive videos — this time inter­views with Gary Old­man, Mag­gie Gyl­len­haal, Christo­pher Nolan, Chris­t­ian Bale and Aaron Eck­hart. On top of this there is a behind the scenes look at Gotham Knight.

I also for­got to men­tion some of their other exclu­sive fea­turettes which are avail­able in stan­dard and high def­i­n­i­tion. I’ve included links to the high def­i­n­i­tion ver­sions for ease, stream­ing was being a bit slow for me earlier.

IMDB: 9.7/10, #4 July 18th, 2008

The first votes are in for The Dark Knight on IMDB, and it has scored a whop­ping 9.7/10 hit­ting the 4th best movie of all time spot in their top 250 movies list with 4,500 votes. Obvi­ously this rat­ing will go down as ‘nor­mal peo­ple’ begin to watch the movie and cast their votes to increase the sam­ple size — but damn! That is impressive.

Rot­ten Toma­toes also have the movie sit­ting pretty at 94% over 154 reviews.

Remem­ber, remem­ber, Expe­ri­ence it in IMAX.

Movie Chron­i­cles will be right here for the sequel.

If any­one head­ing to the Lon­don BFI IMAX show­ing next Thurs­day fan­cies meet­ing up, drop me a line.

YouTube user Direc­to­rian has posted a video of The Dark Knight gala which took place in Chicago. Whilst the gala fea­tured a screen­ing of the movie, this video only shows us the intro­duc­tion with the stars along with the Vision­ary Award 2008 — which went to Christo­pher Nolan.
