The Burbank Hotel's Banquet Hall No. 1 was tonight aglitter with the top brass of Warner Bros., alongside representatives from all their key partners. The galaxy of stars in attendance shined bright enough to light up the night sky.
The main creative force behind The Dark Knight Crew, led by Nolan, Martin, and Charles Roven, cut the cake together in front of the cameras, then filled up a champagne tower and toasted in unison with the hundreds gathered.
Nolan, having shed all the pressure, was more than just excited as he held a champagne flute in one hand and a microphone in the other, announcing loudly, "I propose a toast, to celebrate the success of The Dark Knight together."
Martin leaned into the microphone and shouted, "Cheers!"
A few cameramen circled around, capturing footage of everyone's celebration.
Excellent material for future promotion.
The only pity was that Bale, citing a tight shooting schedule for "Terminator 4", didn't attend the success party.
