DARK CAMPAIGN

Dark Knight to be first disc released featuring any fan’s commentary

by Blair on Dec.02, 2008, under NEWS

Saw this pretty incredible feature listed on the upcoming Blu-ray release of “The Dark Knight” courtesy of Krunker.  It looks like fans, any fan, will, for the first time in history be able to record their own commentary track for Dark Knight’s Blu-ray release and anyone can listen:


Warner Bros. upcoming “The Dark Knight” Blu-ray title will be the company’s first release to include Internet enabled interactive features exclusive to the Blu-ray format. According to Warner Bros. owners of “The Dark Knight” will be able to host their own Live Community Screenings with friends, record, and post user-generated commentaries over the film using My WB Commentary, access additional exclusive content on Warner Bros. BD-Live, get sneak peeks, and trailers of upcoming films, create an online library of Blu-ray movies, manage a wish list for upcoming releases, and connect to the WB store.

I’m really curious to see this feature in action.  It’s really cool that WB is actually enabling fans to record their own commentary tracks for movies.  Some of the best commentary tracks I’ve ever heard have been from people not directly involved with the film making.  Such as Camille Lapaglia’s track for “Basic Instinct,” Hunter S. Thompson’s track for “Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas,” or Eli Roth’s track for “Bloodsucking Freaks” (seriously).  Of course the other fun option is that this allows fans to create their own Rifftrax for the movie.

    That’s pretty cool. Is this really the 1st one to ever do that?

    Eli Roth is vastly underrated! Even if his stuff isn’t your style..he knows his stuff.

    It’s not. It’s the first Warner Bros film with this feature, but the WANTED Blu-ray released today has this feature.

    Last week, WB hosted the first live webcast with web chat with Christopher Nolan. It was a pretty cool idea and format, but Nolan and the moderator kept getting disconnected. You could pre-submit questions as well as ask some live. This would have been great if the moderator didn’t keep choosing the same dumb questions. Still pretty fun and innovative.
