Rise

Two weeks.

Only two weeks until the biggest movie of my generation comes out. You know what it is.

The Batman.

Obviously I'm massively excited for this film. It's going to be an absolute spectacle. Out of this world - unlike anything we've ever seen before. I've been working on it and with it for months and I still don't even know what to expect. We've received such little footage, that I am still as excited as I was when I first heard the announcement regarding the film.

Christopher Nolan is thee director working today. I don't know of anyone who has his talent for story telling. Sure, I think someone like David Fincher has a better eye, but Nolan is really the complete package. It isn't about anything other than the story. Everything comes after that. And of course, as a filmmaker - story matters most. It sucks us in. Transports us to a new world - suspends our disbelief. Nolan loves the art. His passion is unparalled. Overall though, I respect him because he respects film. He doesn't believe in digital - choosing film as the dominant medium - the tool to capture the best quality image. Not only that, but he shot over a third of the movie in IMAX format - which is a staggering feat.

Simply put, he's a magician with celluloid.

If you've followed my blog at all over the last two years - you'll know I'm a big fan of behind the scenes footage and snippets. So when I stumbled upon this - I thought I hit the jackpot.

Not only do you get to hear from everyone in the film, you get to see the sets being built, the crew preparing for shots, b-roll footage. It's amazing to see how such films are made. It also is nice to hear from the cast a crew how much they enjoyed their time with the film, how excited they are for it, and how incredible they all think it is.

I hope this gets you as excited as it made me.

Enjoy.
