Maggie Gylenhaal starred in the latest installment of the Batman Movies in “the Dark Knight” that featured some big names including an impressive performance from the late Heath Ledger as the joker with other top stars featuring including Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. A film low on the female star count with Maggie Gylenhaal providing the main interest.

FilmTrailer, in depth film details, Film Premiere footage, latest news headlines surrounding yet another massive film premiere which has smashed box office records in the US, we would say mainly down to the Heath Ledger factor although the film does look good from the trailer although leaning very much on the dark side of the spectrum.

The Dark Knight is a 2008 American superhero film co-written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film is a sequel to Batman Begins (2005). Christian Bale reprises the lead role. Batman’s primary conflicts in the film include his fight against his arch-nemesis the Joker (Heath Ledger) and his strained friendship with district attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).

For his conception of the film, Nolan was inspired by the Joker’s first two appearances in the comics and Batman: The Long Halloween. The Dark Knight was filmed primarily in Chicago, as well as in several other locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. The director used an IMAX camera to film six major action sequences, including the Joker’s first appearance in the film. The Batsuit was redesigned, with a cowl allowing Bale to move his head.

Warner Bros. created a viral marketing campaign for The Dark Knight, developing promotional websites and trailers highlighting screenshots of Heath Ledger as the Joker. After Ledger’s death in January 2008, however, the studio refocused its promotional campaign. The film was released on July 16, 2008 in Australia, on July 18, 2008 in North America, and will be on July 24, 2008 in the United Kingdom.
