Do you see that video up above? That’s a clip from a new Dark Knight featurette called “Truck Flip“, detailing one of the practical effect shots from the film, with director Christopher Nolan and special effects supervisor, Chris Corbould narrating. This featurette is not included on the Blu-ray edition of the film that you probably already own. And it’s only a part of a package of 31-minutes of brand new, never before seen bonus content, only just revealed. Could this mean that Warner is preparing one of their Ultimate Collector’s Edition box sets for the film?
Given how embarrassingly feature-light The Dark Knight Blu-ray turned out, it’s quite likely that we’ll eventually see a UCE boxed set. But there have yet to be any solid indications of a new disc release for the title. Certainly nothing official from Warner Home Video. This new 31-minute collection of extras is only currently available to those who download the film from iTunes. But I’m guessing that it’s a timed exclusive and that Apple will lose the right to be the only one to offer it by the holiday season. Now, we could, by all rights be allowed access to these new features over BD-Live but that wouldn’t figure into the usual studio cycle of double and triple-dipping hot titles like this. So I wouldn’t bet the bank on that happening. But I won’t be surprised to find a new Dark Knight Blu-ray boxed set on the shelves this December or next, complete with this collection of new featurettes and more. That sounds about right. And hey, if we’re lucky, perhaps we’ll even get a Nolan commentary track this time around!
