Christmas just came early! Exciting news that production for the sequel to the X-Files movie has begun. Not so exciting news Xzibit is a part of the cast. Redeeming news that the plot is stand-alone and will have nothing to do with the last movie. July 25, 2008!

Will Smith Teases First Six Minutes of “The Dark Night”

Posted by Bradley under Entertainment

Moviegoers heed notice, IMAX is showing the new Will Smith Movie “I Am Legend” with a special treat for Dark Night fans.

“The first six minutes of Warner Bros.’ “The Dark Knight,” a prologue that introduces Heath Ledger as the Joker, will appear as a preview in Imax theaters before the studio’s “I Am Legend,” which opens December 14.”

“In the six-minute sequence, a team of robbers — all wearing clown masks — enters a bank for a planned heist, but things take an unexpected turn. The imagery demonstrates the depth and clarity offered by the format, but perhaps no image is more chilling than the first look at Ledger’s Joker.” -Yahoo! News

Director Christopher Nolan shot a few scenes from the movie in IMAX format. Has he lost his mind? Read the link for more info and discussion of impact on aspect ratios.
