In celebration of the upcoming release of The Dark Knight Rises, the film’s director/writer/producer, Christopher Nolan, will be accorded a rare industry honor of leaving his hand and footprints cemented into the famed forecourt of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. The hand-and-footprint ceremony will take place on Saturday, July 7, at 10:00am (GMT -7).



Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Group, stated, “Everyone at Warner Bros. joins me in congratulating Christopher Nolan, who has been such an integral part of our family for the past 12 years. We are extremely proud of the cinematic legacy he has given us through his films. At only 41, Christopher takes his place alongside other industry giants featured at Grauman’s, and generations of fans will remember the extraordinary impression he left on their imaginations."

Opening worldwide beginning July 19, 2012, The Dark Knight Rises is Nolan’s hugely anticipated conclusion to his Dark Knight trilogy, which began in 2005 with Batman Begins.  In 2008, he followed with The Dark Knight, which broke multiple records on its way to earning more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office.

He earned his first Academy Award® nomination for his screenplay for the thought-provoking 2000 release Memento, which he also directed. His other directing credits include Insomnia and The Prestige.
