‘Dark Knight Rises’ Prologue Leaked, Warner Bros Requests Removal of 6-Minute Clip [VIDEO]
Just as fast as it was leaked on the Internet, a six-minute video clip of The Dark Knight Rises highly anticipated prologue was removed by request of Warner Bros on Thursday.
The six-minute teaser scene features Tom Hardy as the villain Bane hijacking a military plane in what is arguably the most kick butt scene in the franchise's history.
However, the leaked clip was removed after requests from Warner Bros., as the clip was apparent bootleg footage from a private pre-screening, offered by Warner Bros. for anxious viewers. Reuters said the clip looked like it was captured on a Fisher-Price PXL camera with a Vaseline-coated lens and manned by a hummingbird.
The Dark Knight Rises is one of the most highly-anticipated films for 2012's summer box office season, with a July 2012 release date. The final installment for Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy features Tom Hardy as Bane, along with Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard.
The six-minute clip was shown during the previews of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol at select IMAX locations on Wednesday, giving fans an opportunity to see the beginning as part of the promotion for the film. The snippet was uploaded to the Web on Thursday and removed later that day.
MTV called the leaked clip worthy enough to make your jaw drop. However, some viewers said they couldn't understand what Bane was saying, as he was mumbling in a deep tone in words which were indistinguishable.
While the clip was removed, one user over at The Blemish was kind enough to transcribe dialogue for those who haven't seen it or didn't understand it initially, though it's hard to enjoy without the amazing action sequence to accompany it.
Here's a transcript of the dialogue for The Dark Knight Rises prologue six-minute leaked clip courtesy of The Blemish and, as an added bonus, the trailer for the film slated for a July 2012 release.
