The Dark Knight on Blu-ray
The Dark Knight, the latest Batman movie and the first film in years to earn an actor (Heath Ledger) post-humous Oscar buzz, is a perfectly logical BD-Live debut for Warner Bros., since the film is bound to sell like hotcakes this holiday season. (You can buy The Dark Knight on Blu-ray from Amazon.com
The BD-Live functionality for The Dark Knight will include a variety of exclusive interactive features. Owners 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 more BD-Live-exclusive The Dark Knight content, get sneak peeks and trailers of upcoming Warner Bros. films, create an online library of Blu-ray movies, manage a wish list for upcoming releases and connect to the WB store.
The biggest feature, user-hosted Live Community Screenings, will let owners chat live with their buddy list or the entire Warner Bros. BD-Live community. Fans and friends across the country can send invitations for screenings at a specified time and chat with each other as the movie plays.
The “My WB Commentary” feature of BD-Live will allow fans to post user-generated Picture-in-Picture commentary over the film, then share it with friends or the entire Warner Bros. BD-Live Community. Using a Web camera, users can record their own comments and play them back as a Picture-in-Picture feature over the film scene they have chosen. Users can then post the commentary on BD-Live, share it with whom they select and receive a rating on their videos.
More Warner Bros. BD-Live initiatives will be announced in the coming weeks, including the opportunity for fans to interact with director Christopher Nolan.
Warner Bros. BD-Live will have exciting new content both specific to The Dark Knight and other WB films exclusive only to BD-Live registered users. Content will include two motion comics, one created as a bridge between the story of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and one created about The Joker; and an exclusive look a the premiere of The Dark Knight in New York City.
BD-Live is only accessible through a Blu-ray Disc played on an Internet-connected or Blu-ray player (including a PS3) with BD-Live capabilities and sufficient data storage.
