This week in EW: It’s our summer movie preview issue, featuring an all-new Superman movie that shuns kryptonite in favor of character development.
“I thought The Avengers was an appalling film. They’d shoot from some odd angle and I’d think, why is the camera there? Oh, I see, because they spent half a million on the set and they have to show it off. It took me completely out of the movie. I was driven bonkers by that illogical form of storytelling.”
DC vs. Marvel! Batman vs. Iron Man! Summer tentpole vs. summer tentpole! Here’s what Wally Pfister, Christopher Nolan’s longtime cinematographer, thinks of Joss Whedon’s The Avengers.
10 SIGNS YOU’RE WATCHING A CHRISTOPHER NOLAN MOVIE
1. There is an elaborate, flashback-heavy narrative structure.
2. The protagonist is troubled by the memory of his angelic dead wife/love interest.
3. The protagonist is also troubled by the actions of a duplicitous not-dead love interest.
Now hop into your Batmobile and stealthily zoom your way to EW.com for the other signs. Feel free to revisit your favorite Sorkinisms, while you’re at it.
On the rare occasions when blockbuster demi-god Christopher Nolan emerges from his bleak dream-cave to unveil non-revelatory revelations about next year’s The Dark Knight Rises, the director has worked overtime to explain that Rises will be a genuine conclusion to his version of the Batman mythos. A new poster for the film makes that idea explicit. Batman’s mask lies on the ground, broken. In the background, we can see apparently unintelligible villain Bane walking away. The tagline is simple: “The Legend Ends.” It’s an interesting, uncompromising sales pitch — it’ll be intriguing to see how Rises plays in the same summer as the candy-colored superhero bromance The Avengers. It also adds more fuel to the main question hovering over Rises: Could they actually kill off Batman?
Of course, it’s also entirely possible that the altercation we’re seeing represented here happens early in the movie, and Bruce Wayne spends the film’s second act doing a Rocky IV montage to get back into shape, before putting on a ridiculous Nintendo costume and challening Bane to a grudge match. Somehow I doubt it, though.
Add The Batman Complex—a head-trippy Batman Begins/The Dark Knight/Inception/The Machinist mashup—to the list of fake movies we would totally see.
Yes, JGL is still in Christopher Nolan’s third Batman flick—but a source close to the situation says that recent reports that Gordon-Levitt will play Alberto Falcone (a.k.a. the Holiday Killer), the son of former mob kingpin, Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson), are incorrect. So who do you think Levitt might actually be portraying?
Her role hasn’t been specified, though we suspect she may be playing a sexily accented femme fatale.
