Monday, November 21, 2011 at 3:22PM 'The Dark Knight Rises': Follow Up With Christopher Nolan

Get The Big Picture's own Jessica Green recently wrote about the two new Empire magazine covers for The Dark Knight Rises, the upcoming summer blockbuster comic-book action film. Now the internet is abuz with new information revolving the timeline in Christopher Nolan's apparently closing chapter on Bruce Wayne.
Discussing the story and timeline with Empire, Nolan states:
It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state.
With Bane, we're looking to give Batman a challenge he hasn't had before. With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we're testing Batman both physically as well as mentally.
Christopher Nolan goes on to say about the prologue that will appear infront of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol:
The Prologue is basically the first six, seven minutes of the film. It’s the introduction to Bane and a taste of the rest of the film. With Bane we are looking to give Batman a physical challenge that he hasn’t had before. In terms of finishing our story and increasing its scope, we were trying to craft an epic.
Here's what Tom Hardy, who portrays Bane, has to say on the film and his monstrous screen-persona:
He’s brutal. Brutal. He’s a big dude who’s incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It’s not about fighting. It’s about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it’s nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action.
Even costume designer Lindy Hemming had some interesting news regarding Bane's outfit:
He was injured early in his story. He’s suffering from pain and he needs gas to survive. He cannot survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jaw line and feed into the thing at the back where there are two canisters of what ever it is…the anesthetic.
You can see scanned pages of the article at /Film if you'd like with some more cover displays. Personally, they're too grainy and poorly scanned copies. I'd rather go and buy the actual magazine and who doesn't like the feeling of paper in your hands, right?
What do you think of the recent information regarding Christopher Nolan's upcoming The Dark Knight Rises? Excited as I am at the possibility of the closing chapter saga?
The Dark Knight Rises is directed by Christopher Nolan. Starring Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman. The film is set for release July 20th, 2012.
