"It is an indisputable fact that Duke Rosenberg has a special liking for IMA. With the previous success precedent of the Dark Knight, his rise in the Dark Knight in the summer this year is even more bold and challenging. The entire film has 1 hour of shots completely shot with an IMA camera, and this is the record of the most IMA shooting time in Hollywood movies so far!"

As the release date is getting closer, Warner Bros. is also promoting more and more various kinds of promotions. Ima is undoubtedly one of the promotional points of the film.

In early April, Warner Bros. held a 6-minute IMA editing and viewing of movie fans and media reporters, and the screening event received a warm response.

"When the lights dim and the play starts, you can feel the energy rising in the screening room!"

"It feels so amazing!"

Such remarks are also circulating around the Internet.

Correspondingly, Duke's comments on Ima are also mentioned.

"When we learned that we had formed a team to shoot movies in Hollywood with the IMA machine, many people told us that it was too difficult, and what an irony it was. Since these cameras can go up to the Himalayas, down to the deep sea, and even used in outer space, why can't we use it to make movies?"

A few days later, the Dark Knight Rises crew held a global press conference at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills in Hollywood.

The director Duke led the starring Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Gal Gadot, James Franko, Michael Kane, Lawrence Fishburne, soundtrack Hans Jimo, producer Charles Rowan and other main creators attended the press conference and answered questions from global media.

This is undoubtedly a heavyweight publicity event before the release of the Dark Knight Rises. In addition to attracting nearly 7 from all over the audience, NB also broadcasts live to North America and overseas through TV signals.

"There is no doubt that the Batman: The War Moment and the Dark Knight not only elevates the Batman movie, but also the entire hero movie to a new level. This is also the reason why the finale of the Dark Knight Rises is highly anticipated by fans around the world."

Before the press conference began, NB reporters were next to some complicated live broadcast scenes. "For the ending set by the film for Batman, Duke said that he had first thought about the ending of the story. Then he went backward to conceive other plots. He said that Batman is a comic that has been serialized for more than 70 years. The characteristics of the serialization require that the story can be extended endlessly, but he hopes that this trilogy can become a self-contained story. So the third part must put a perfect end to the whole story."

The press conference kicked off quickly, and when asked if I would still direct the "Batman" movie in the future, Duke made it clear that it was time to say goodbye to "Batman". "I spent almost ten years on Batman, which was a very important period in my life. It was a wonderful journey, and now is the time to end the journey. Leaving this series is a bit sad for me, and I may of course work with these crew members in other films, but for the Batman series, it is indeed time to say goodbye."

At the press conference, Christian Bale seemed to have not yet fully walked out of the role of Batman, and his eyes were deep and often fell into deep thought.

When asked by the media, "who most wants to play the villain in the Batman series", Bale gave a surprising answer, saying that Batman has a villain. "The reason I like Batman is that he is almost a bad person. He walks on the edge of good and evil. He has evil thoughts in his heart, but he can always restrain these ideas and ensure that he is still on the right side. Batman is a hero on the surface, but in fact his real motivation is not so simple in his heart, but fortunately he can use altruism to restrain himself and ensure that he is still a good person. Read a book and read a book."

Like Duke, the Dark Knight Rises is destined to be the time when Christian Bale says goodbye to the character Batman. When talking about the feeling of saying goodbye, Bale seems to have mixed feelings, "Just Duke said, this trilogy is also an important part of my life. However, Duke's decision on the film has always been correct. He said that this is the time to say goodbye, so that's not wrong."

After routinely interviewing other actors, almost all reporters have set their sights on Duke, and questions hit him like waves. Most of the time, Duke basically has questions and answers.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times stood up and asked, "Is it a very tricky thing for you to deal with the finale of the last Dark Knight and the plot of this film? What impact will the finale of the last have on the role of this film?"

“As the third film in the series, our challenge is to shoot a story that is worth telling and make the audience feel the need to re-enter the series to Gotham City.”

Adjusting a comfortable sitting posture, Duke is ready to fight with the reporter for a long time and said, "From the beginning, I didn't want to just use this film as a simple episode in the Batman series, but the three first and last episodes must form a complete story, so the ending of the previous movie must have an impact on the plot of the movie. The previous story still has a deep meaning in this movie. The previous story must continue to extend in this movie. This is the starting point of our thinking."

After being named, the reporter of Entertainment Weekly took the microphone and asked, "Why should I insist on using the IMA technology to produce it?"

"I didn't deliberately stick to anything, it was just a choice. When I filmed with Ima and projected the video onto a huge screen, I could say that I've never seen any other video format that matched the image quality of Ima. For me, the characters and stories of the Batman series are more realistic, and the huge images of Ima can reflect this trait of the film."

Duke knew the key points of publicity very well, and then smiled and said, "There are only four IMA cameras we used in the world. When the Dark Knight Rises were filming, we broke one, so there were only three left in the world."

There was a burst of laughter at the press conference.

These words are all facts. When shooting a car crash scene, an ima camera was unfortunately destroyed. This is already the second ima camera that Duke destroyed.

After the laughter stopped, Duke said again, "Ima can attract audiences to leave their home TV and come to the cinema to watch movies, because the huge visual effects of ima cannot be created in the living room. It is becoming increasingly difficult to attract audiences to leave their residences and watch movies in the cinema, but ima gives the audience a reason to do so."

A reporter from the Boston Globe asked, "It is said that this video is the longest film with IMA. Director, how did you decide which lenses were shot with IMA cameras and which lenses were shot with ordinary cameras?

After thinking about it for a moment, Duke gave an interesting answer, "Because the ima camera is quite noisy, the dialogue scenes are usually shot with ordinary digital cameras, but the shooting of large scenes of fighting and war is usually shot with ima cameras."

There was another laughter on the scene.

Because the 6-minute IMA editing and watching movies have been held before, the plot of the film has also been revealed to the public, so the next Times reporter asked questions about the plot, "This film seems to have some political implications. The plot of Bain leading the thugs to carry out destruction during the trial will definitely become a very controversial scene. Do you want to make a very political video from the beginning?"

"I don't think my videos are very political. When the Dark Knight was released, many people looked at it from a political perspective."

Compared to what Duke said just now, "In fact, the purpose of our filming is to entertain and tell a good story. I like to build plots in a fictional environment like Gotham, so that the film can resonate more widely among the audience, because each audience can bring their own living environment into the film. In this process, some viewers may understand the film from a political perspective according to their own ideas, which is inevitable."

A reporter from the New York Times turned his attention to several newcomers, "The previous film in the series has achieved unprecedented success. Will this put pressure on you to shoot this film? Especially for the new actors who have joined this time, is there additional pressure?

"Indeed, the success of the previous movie put a lot of pressure on us. But when we sat down and began to conceive this video, we only thought about making this video well, and we cannot deliberately copy the success of the previous movie."

Duke took over the question first, "The success of the last movie is incredible, sometimes I can't explain it myself, that's great. But the real pressure comes from the film companies, they spend so much money on making movies and doing promotions, and my movies have to make money for them, and that's where the pressure lies."

The microphone turned to Gal Gadot, and she said, "I was a little nervous at the beginning because the other actors were more or less working with Duke, but I was a newcomer. But everyone was very enthusiastic on the set and introduced me to the situation. Duke and the starring actor were not much different from other old members. The anxiety at the beginning gradually improved.

James Franco's face was filled with a sunny smile, "When the Dark Knight was launched, I watched it twice and loved it very much, but I didn't think I would be a part of the series at that time. After that, Duke and I worked on Inception, which was an adventure full of surprise and excitement, and then I got the chance to star in this film. For me, it was a dream come true."

At the end of the press conference, the first trailer for the rise of the Dark Knight was released. (To be continued.)
