Warner Bros reps asked that everyone see the movie in its entirety and not just from where it left off. Reporters were asked to return to the same theater Saturday at 8 AM to see the film. A computer is now being taken out of IMAX headquarters in West Los Angeles and installed in the AMC Universal location overnight. After 20 minutes the man came out again and said the sync computer had failed and could not be rebooted. A 40-year employee of IMAX said that this has never ever happened to him before.
The movie was stopped and the lights went up. After a few minutes the crowd shouted for a projectionist. But at about 8:15 PM, as a new reel began, the dialogue between Christian Bale and Michael Caine was clearly out of sync – with a full 5- to 10-second lip-flap after lines were spoken. A strict no-guest policy with wristbands were issued for entrance.
Junket reporters, local press, and members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association were at the IMAX at the AMC at Citywalk to see the film. “The computer device that syncs the picture and sound broke about 1 hour into the screening. An IMAX rep explained this was the only IMAX print of the movie on the entire West Coast:
Warner Bros apologized to the pissed-off invitees and is holding an 8 AM re-screening for them just prior to the Saturday press junket with all the film’s stars. A source tells me that a botched IMAX screening of The Dark Knight Risessent about 100 reporters and critics home mid-movie tonight. Not surprisingly, movies are well represented here: Grab one of the plush recliners seats at Universal Cinema, a 18-screen multiplex, plus an IMAX theatre.
