Many of us have been wondering what the budget for Christopher Nolan's
The Dark Knight Rises will be, and now the folks over at
The LA Times have an article up about the partnership between
Legendary Pictures and
Warner Bros. in which they reveal that
The Dark Knight Rises will have a whopping $250 million for it's budget.
"While Legendary was a 50/50 partner on 2008’s “The Dark Knight,” which grossed more than $1 billion worldwide and sold 16 million DVDs, the film financing and production company has for months been trying to secure a similar ownership stake in the sequel. The film, which like the last two Batman pictures will be directed by Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, is expected to cost at least $250 million to produce."
Nolan's previous Batman movies had quite a bit less than that for a budget:
Batman Begins: Approx. $150 million
The Dark Knight: Approx. $185 million
With a $250 million budget, I think it's safe to assume that Nolan will have some seriously amazing scenes in store for us.
