Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises' Lands a PG-13 Rating, As Expected
Briefly: It should come as no surprise that Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, which has already been screened for Warner Bros execs and apparently the MPAA, has received a PG-13 rating. Collider reports that a NolanFans forum member got a screenshot (here) of the official PG-13 rating on the WB exhibitors' website, stating it's rated for "intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language." The Bane prologue was already rated PG-13 and this isn't a big surprise, though still intriguing to hear. Once again Nolan pulls off a PG-13 with ease, though I'm sure it's still dark and violent.

Nolan is NOT Converting 'The Dark Knight Rises' to 3D - April Fools!
The Legend Ends. You thought it wasn't possible, now it's happening. Warner Bros has announced that The Dark Knight Rises will also be released in RealD and Dolby Digital 3D theatres simultaneously with its worldwide release in conventional and IMAX theatres starting July 20th this summer. The epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is being post-converted by Burbank's Stereo D LLC, the same company that was most recently in charge of converting Titanic for James Cameron. The news comes confirmed from NolanFans today, press release and all, stating it's still on schedule to hit theaters by July.

Hans Zimmer Talks Chris Nolan's Secrecy & Orchestra Experiments
What is he up to? Composer Hans Zimmer recently spoke with Hero Complex (via SlashFilm) and talked not only about his score work on The Dark Knight and this summer's The Dark Knight Rises, but why director Christopher Nolan likes to maintain such secrecy, and such a disconnect from the online world masses. We've heard Zimmer talk plenty before about TDKR, and many speak for Nolan since he doesn't give too many quotes, but it's always great to hear a fresh update, especially since they're starting to finish things with only five months left until release. "I have 25 minutes of very, very radical, very different stuff."

Some New Images from 'The Dark Knight Rises' + Nolan Talks Bane
Though six months lie between now and the release of The Dark Knight Rises, some midnight IMAX screenings in New York and Los Angeles are already sold out.

In addition EW recently talked with Christopher Nolan about the debacle concerning Bane's muffled voice and he said, "I think when people see the film, things will come into focus. Bane is very complex and very interesting and when people see the finished film people will be very entertained by him." Photos below!

Untrue: 'The Dark Knight Rises' Prologue Now Has a New Audio Mix
Before the end of 2011, the six-minute prologue for The Dark Knight Rises exploded onto select IMAX screens with copies of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and while the footage itself was a treat for fans, one part of it wasn't received so well. Many audience members loudly complained about having trouble understanding the lines coming from the sequel's new villain, Bane, played by Tom Hardy. The issue apparently had Warner Bros. insiders quite worried about the effect it might have on the film. Christopher Nolan said audio changes would be minimal, but it appears action has already been taken to fix the issue.

Bane's Gotham Strike Map Printed on Viral Tube + T-Shirt Package
The Fire Rises strike map? Gotham is staked out? So did we miss something? I feel like this is a huge jump ahead, right on the verge of the IMAX prologue being released this weekend, but here we go. Warner Bros has been mailing packages to various websites, us included, containing The Dark Knight Rises swag - a badass new Bane "Fire Rises" t-shirt that comes in a tube wrapped in a map of Gotham City (see the photos). The shirt looks great, but the tube has caught the attention of the web, with sites like ComingSoon and ComicBookMovie dissecting the notes like they're viral clues. As far as I can tell, this may just be a gift.

Badass New Bane Teaser Poster for 'The Dark Knight Rises' Unveiled!
The Legend Ends. So Warner Bros unveils a rather kick ass new teaser poster for The Dark Knight Rises on the official website this morning, and no one notices until the afternoon. Well, here it is, the new teaser poster for Chris Nolan's epic finale to his Batman saga. In unison with next week's IMAX prologue debut in front of M:I4, this poster features Bane in the background and a broken Batman mask in the foreground, plus that tagline. I'm pretty sure this is not a spoiler or anything, but it is pretty badass. I can also tell you that shattered mask shows up in the montage of footage at the end of the prologue, too. This is awesome.

Chris Nolan Says 'TDKR' to Have Up to 50 Minutes of IMAX Footage
Whoa. If that's not a headline to remember, than I don't know what is! To top off the amazing six-minute IMAX prologue to The Dark Knight Rises that I saw last night (video blog here), our friends at SlashFilm have picked up a very exciting IMAX scoop that's deserving of its own post. At the post-screening reception, they caught up with director Christopher Nolan, who mentioned during their discussion the potential amount of footage that was actually shot on IMAX that will make it into the movie. And it's up to 50 minutes of it. Holy crap! After seeing only six minutes, I can tell you seeing 50 is going to be phenomenal.
