ldswoosh33 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Its kinda interesting that they are using a name brand like Under Armour for a movoe like the Dark Knight Rise. Product placement does seem to be Christopher Nolans' thing. Romans 5:8 NikoLazar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 It looks like they are going to build some kind of vehicle ramp on that raised section, and it's not so much that they are going to destroy the field (plot wise) but that they are going to do some crazy stuff and DON'T want to destroy the field.

JohnnySeoul Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Why would a team called the Rogues wear bright ass yellow.I'll bet it's because most of the seats in Heinz Field are Yellow.Winner winner chicken dinner!!!ColorWerx is 100% correct.

So much so I used TouchdownIndia as my username.http://www.gameplancreative.com/clients/efli/efli_launch/index.htmlImpressive!!! The Bengals could learn a few things from that Blacktigers logo.

Gothamite Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah, but there's a difference between showing a character drinking a Coke and making sure that a can of Coke is conspicuously placed in the foreground of several shots.

IceCap Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The terrible wordmark aside, the Rouges' identity isn't that bad, from what we can see so far anyway.

IceCap Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hehe, true enough The colours are good enough though, and I'm really liking that 50 yard line logo. One has to wonder why a team that plays in a large northeast/midwest metropolitan area would go with a cowboy theme, however.

Gothamite Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 1. Product placement is a necessary evil, especially for a movie that costs as much to make as this. Sorry, I'm calling "bull " on this one. We're talking about an established franchise with serious box office returns. The prior installment brought in a billion dollars in ticket sales alone. There's no way that this won't make its money back, so no real risk. In fact, the producing partners were fighting about who would get to put more money into the production. This isn't a little independent film that needs to cobble together enough cash to make a print for investor pitches. There's no shortage of cash behind this one.

IceCap Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 True enough, but I do find myself agreeing with Tank that product placement does add to the illusion. Someone drinking Generic Cola does take me out of the film in a way that a character drinking Coca-Cola or Pepsi wouldn't. Granted, you also have a very good point, that a line's crossed when the director focuses on the product to the point that it impacts the film. I guess I'm saying that product placement is good, because it leads to more realistic set pieces, but it needs to be kept in the background.
