Lame.

Hope you didn't lay down any money on your "call."

Private Eye,

The film is due to be released on July 18th, so it's almost 6 months away rather than 5. Anyway, I agree with a lot of what you said although I think, as bad as this might sound, Heath's death will make the film more legendary than it would have been. It might have just been remembered as another summer blockbuster, but now it's going to forever be remembered as Heath Ledger's last full project. His performance will be immortalized like James Dean's in Rebel Without a Cause or Brandon Lee's in The Crow. People will not be able to watch TDK, even 50 years from now, without realizing that Heath Ledger died at only 28 years old before the film was even released.

The prologue is the first 5 minutes of The Dark Knight. It is shown in front of the IMAX version of I Am Legend. It was shot with IMAX cameras, so it is the very first Hollywood movie to have any part of it take up an entire IMAX screen (versus being re-sized for IMAX like I Am Legend or Spider-Man 3 or Batman Begins, etc.). There were around 4 or 5 scenes that were shot with the IMAX cameras, and the first scene was one of them. It's a bank robbery.
