The Dark Knight Script Review coming soon!!!

[BobJM]

I don't know whether this has been posted or announced yet (partly due to the fact that I don't lurk in this board that often). According to Latino Review, the site that gave us the heads up on Ledger is saying that they have a Dark Knight review coming up soon.

Here's the first portion of their Wolfman script review, in which the writer basically tells fans of what's to come.

Yo! Jeff Robinov's good buddy EL MAYIMBE here with the weekend read.

Now this goes out to all you BAT-FOLKS. You see…one of the first rules of screenwriting is to never be on the nose. Now I did the 1st script review of Batman Begins and I announced the casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker. A big thanks to the WB for confirming my scoop and to all you haters out there who doubted me - eat them bananas mother****ers! Now wouldn't it be too soon or be too on the nose to come out and do the script review for THE DARK KNIGHT?! Isn't it like expected?

Well, have patience my friends, all in due time. Me announcing Heath was a commonly used old-fashioned screenwriting technique known as SETUP.

What's the PAYOFF? Stay tuned to Latinoreview my friends. He He He

yeah sorry man, this is old news, weve been waiting for that review ever since that announcement.

oh man, this is just too tempting, but i'm gonna (try to) hold off on reading this script review.
i read LR's Batman Begins script review like a year before the movie actually came out. The review itself wasn't too spoilerific, but i wasn't so shocked or surprised when i watched the movie because of all the stuff i've read or heard about before.
I'm not gonna let that happen again with the sequel now. What am i even doing in spoiler forums?!?

We were expecting the review for this week, but apparently they´re still dealing with the legal part of it - they´re waiting for their lawyers to say it´s okay.

One thing we can anticipate is the review will be positive. El Mayimbe only reviews scripts he likes. It doesn´t mean he´ll necessarily rave on it, but we can expect at least an overal positive view.

 

[Cinemaman]

I was right, they won't release it before September-October

 

[Two-Face]

Hurry up will ya!

I think el is excited...Look how he was acting in the Wolfman script review. He knows he is bring something good or he wouldn't pre announce it and act all giddy.

And that's making me feel better.

I think he will give A+ as rate to this script

 

[BmAaTn3625]

i have the same feeling ^

 

[Excel]

geeez i wish they hadnt even told us they had it at this point!

 

[Two-Face]

LR gave Hitman script A+ so TDK will be better that I hope...

 

[fabman]

producer charles roven said that isn't any script at the moment... are the lr guys reviewing the script or the treatment...

That movie sounds so awesome

 

[BatMatt]

it'd have to be the treatment

 

[Excel]

it is goyers treatment, roughly 80 pages long.

 

[Superman4ever]

it'd have to be the treatment

That's what I thought too...

The script is in the process of being written. There isn't a screenplay that exists right now, so I can't really tell you much more than that. Certainly Christian Bale is going to play Batman and Bruce Wayne."

"We are supposed to start shooting what we call a preshoot, which we know what that is, in January and then the main body of the movie is going to start in March," he added.

OIC!

 

[CConn]

it is goyers treatment, roughly 80 pages long.

That's a pretty thorough treatment considering the script should only be 130-150 pages long.

 

[Steelsheen]

still waiting.....

 

[Excel]

i know. that is what they said initially in the bof-bash.

 

[Aiden]

That's a pretty thorough treatment considering the script should only be 130-150 pages long.

How long was Kevin Smith's SL treament. It was around 80 right?

 

[ToddIsDead]

That's a pretty thorough treatment considering the script should only be 130-150 pages long.

It's been said that the treatment is not just for "The Dark Knight" but also Batman 3. It suppossedly covers both of them. Well, that's what I've read, but who knows?

Is that the reason for the delay officially? Did Mayimbe say something?

 

[thedarks0ldier]

I thought Treatments were about 8 to 10 pages.

 

[Aiden]

I think it honestly depends on the writer
