The Dark Knight Rises Viral Campaign Reveals Harvey Dent Day in Gotham

Posted: 22 Jun 2012 10:47 AM PDT

The Dark Knight Rises viral campaign is in full swing, with the Mountain Dw tie-in site DewGothamCity.com posting three "pages" from the Gotham City newspaper Gotham Observer. These photos reveal that Gotham City is planning Harvey Dent Day, to honor Aaron Eckhart's fallen character from The Dark Knight. One of the pages also features an ad for Rykin Data, which leads to the fake company's official website that reveals an intriguing patent application. Take a look at these photos and see if you can decipher any hidden clues (there are some nice "plot" hints in the Gotham Daily Horoscope) from director Christopher Nolan's Batman finale.

Radiohead announced they're postponing the first seven dates of their European tour due to a series of logistical problems in connection to the stage collapse at Toronto's Downsview Park Saturday which killed their drum tech Scott Johnson.

"The collapse also destroyed the light show - this show was unique and will take many weeks to replace," the band said in a statement yesterday afternoon. "The collapse also caused serious damage to our backline, some elements of which are decades old and therefore hard to replace."

The band said while they are still "dealing with the grief and shock ensuing from this terrible accident" they have been forced to postpone dates in Rome (June 30), Florence (July 1), Bologna (July 3), Codroipo (July 4), Berlin (July 6-7) and a show in Canton de Vaud, Switzerland (July 9). "We aim to announce the new dates for these shows on Wednesday 27th of June and will also supply information on how to obtain refunds on tickets if you cannot come to the show on the new date."

Need for Speed Confirmed for 2014 Release Date

Posted: 22 Jun 2012 10:18 AM PDT

Need for Speed confirmed for a 2014 release by DreamWorks

DreamWorks Studios has acquired the feature film rights to EA's popular video game franchise, Need for Speed, it was announced jointly today by DreamWorks CEO and Co-Chair Stacey Snider and EA President of Studios Frank Gibeau.

Brothers George Gatins and John Gatins developed the original story with George writing the feature's screenplay. The screenplay is based on the Need for Speed series, but is not based on an individual game. EA will produce along with John Gatins and Mark Sourian. Scott Waugh (Act of Valor) is attached to direct, and the project will be fast-tracked at DreamWorks with a target production start date for early next year, for a 2014 release.

The film adaptation will be a fast-paced, high-octane film rooted in the tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise. In Need for Speed, the cars are hot, the racing is intense and the story keeps players at the edge of their seat.

"I'm excited about getting back into the creative trenches with John and George Gatins and my partners at EA to bring to life an exhilarating script based on an epic video game that seems to have been made for the movies," said Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks Chairman. "This is a big piece of business for DreamWorks and we are grateful to Frank Gibeau, Pat O'Brien, Kevin Maher and John and George for choosing us to deliver their goods."

"George, John and EA brought a very compelling story to us which we believe is going to make a fun, cool movie franchise," said Stacey Snider, CEO and Co-Chair of DreamWorks. "With such a large following around the globe, we're excited to make a film that does justice to the popular underlying video game series."

"We are thrilled to be in business with our friends Steven Spielberg, Stacey Snider and the entire DreamWorks team," said Frank Gibeau, President of EA Labels. "They are the perfect partner to take Need for Speed to the big screen by creating the exciting action film that we have always envisioned."

"It's fantastic to be working with a team that shares not only our love of cars, but also our passion for creating blockbuster action experiences. This collaboration will be greatly enhanced with the team at DreamWorks - which is a great home for the Need for Speed franchise," said Patrick Soderlund, Executive Vice President, EA Games Label. Added Pat O'Brien, Vice President of EA Entertainment: "Working with John and George to develop the script has truly been an outstanding experience."

Need for Speed is the premier racing game in the video game industry and one of EA's best-selling video game franchises. Since the release of the first title, the series has sold more than 140 million units worldwide, generating an estimated $4 billion in retail revenue, making it one of the biggest franchises in video gaming.

Need for Speed serves as a reunion with both George Gatins and John Gatins with DreamWorks. George was an executive producer on the studio's 2010 film She's Out of My League. John's previous projects with DreamWorks include the 2005 film Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story which he wrote and directed. He also wrote the script for last year's Real Steel and has been working on the script for its sequel. He recently wrote the script for Flight which will be released by Paramount later this year.

Both EA and John and George Gatins are represented by UTA, who negotiated the deal.

More information about Need for Speed can be found at: NeedForSpeed.com.

Need for Speed comes to theaters in 2014. The film is directed by Scott Waugh.

I gave Sean Connery his domain name for free and he sent me a thank you letter!

Posted: 22 Jun 2012 10:31 AM PDT

I have worked online full-time as a web developer since 1996 and buy and sell domain names for business. In 2000 I purchased the domain name seanconnery.com after the previous owner let it expire. I did not have any plans for it at the time, I just thought it would be a cool domain to have. I put up a page offering the domain to Mr. Connery if he wanted it. Over the next year I received quite a few emails from people claiming to be Connery, all bogus and some pretty damn hilarious. Finally I received an email from a man named James Barron claiming to be his representative. After a bit of due diligence I confirmed that he was associated with the actor and we arranged for the domain to be transferred. A few weeks later I received a package in the mail with a letter and card from Sean Connery thanking me for the domain. He also included a thank you on his website once it was online. Since then I have also purchased JackKirby.com and gave it to the daughter of Jack Kirby, co-creator of The X-men, The Hulk, and The Fantastic Four. I also owned CharlesManson.com for years until I sold it.

What is a quote or dialogue in a movie that has really stuck with you?

Posted: 22 Jun 2012 08:39 AM PDT

For me it was the scene in The Dark Knight where Alfred tells Bruce the story of the jewel thief:

"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Dark Knight : Criminal Motivation Interpretation

Posted: 22 Jun 2012 09:01 AM PDT

Everyone remembers the clip on the Dark Knight where Alfred shares his experience with a "bandit" in Burma. This is seen as highly relevant and a deep understanding for the motives of the Joker. However every time I see this scene, I get a very different take from it. Youtube Link

Alfred describes his work with the government of Burma, where the government attempted to bribe local leaders with precious stones in exchange for their loyalty. That set up a big red flag in my mind. The government was buying the loyalty of local tribal leaders with gems - not food, not supplies, not support, but stones. Sure, this means they can use it however they see fit, but that smells a bit fishy to me.

The next red flag comes when Alfred describes the actions of the bandit, who raids these caravans but seems to do it because he thought it was "good sport", not logical, or without reason.

Perhaps the reason this bandit was raiding these caravans and specifically distributing it to the people was because he didn't think the tribal leaders would use it properly. Not only that, he didn't want them under the thumb of the government. What better way to do that than to disrupt the transaction.

The bandit, in my eyes, was a hero. Perhaps I am just interpreting this wrong, but that is just always how I see this otherwise amazing scene.

What do you guys think?

Edit: Dialogue for non youtubers.

Alfred Pennyworth: "YOU crossed the line first sir; you squeezed him, you hammered him to the point of desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand.

Bruce Wayne: "Criminals aren't complicated Alfred...we just need to figure out what he's after.

Alfred Pennyworth: "With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man you don't fully understand either. A long time ago, I was in Burma, my friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of the tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never met anyone who traded with him. One day, I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away."

Bruce Wayne: "So why steal them?"

Alfred Pennyworth: "Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
