[There goes Taiwan!]

[Ta-ta England!]

[Au revoir Paris]

Aren't these posters for I Am Legend amazing? Used as a local campaign for each major city around the world, these posters of urban devestation give you an idea of what Will Smith will faces on a daily basis through the streets of New York (where the film is based).

And just what is he up against once the sun goes down?

Of course I managed to get some 1 on 1 time with Will, but we ended up chatting lovingly about his co-star Abbey (the dog in the poster). I know, totally dorky, but once you see this film, you'll understand why i'm obsessed with her.  

Keep watching this space, cause my exclusive interviews will be on here in no time.

[new Batman poster, don't you just love it?]

On Monday evening, VIP Access was invited to a very special IMAX presentation for The Dark Knight.

Though the film isn't due for release until next summer (heck, they were just in Hong Kong last month!), director Christopher Nolan was very eager to personally introduce a 6 minute prologue of the Joker (played by a creepy Heath Ledger) for us.

Before the show, I saw Christopher Nolan at the drinks reception and sheepishly made my way over to him to ask him how his experience was shooting in Hong Kong.

"The city of Hong Kong was very welcoming to us during our 5 day shoot," Nolan answered, "we felt that having Hong Kong as an integral part of the Dark Knight storyline was very exciting, and I'm really happy with the results. Plus we shot the scenes with IMAX cameras, so the effect is wonderful to look at. Hopefully you'll get an idea from watching this Joker presentation."

Then we were asked to go into the IMAX theatre where Christopher Nolan personally introduced his teaser.

["leaked" Joker pics that came out the day of the presentation... hmm] 

So what is this Joker Prologue? Well, it's a 6 minute teaser that is scheduled to be placed before the I Am Legend screenings on IMAX next week (of course people who watch Legend on 'normal' screens will also get a Joker fix, but it's different..).

Shot with the IMAX cameras, the intro to the Joker is told through a big (like 52 feet/16m high!) bank heist. The robbers, all wearing clown masks, enter a bank for a robbery, but then proceed to double cross each other (to read the full shot breakdown check out this site).

What happens next is moot. The big thing of this whole teaser is that we get to see the Joker appear for the first time and damn, he's freaky!

The prologue ended as quickly as it began, but I'm now determined to ONLY see this film on an IMAX screen. Summer 2008 can't arrive fast enough!
