This bad-angle camcorder video, taken before an IMAX showing of I Am Legend and posted last night, shows most of the bank-job sequence that begins Chris Nolan‘s The Dark Knight. It was clearly shot with impressions of the legendary bank-heist sequence from Michael Mann‘s Heat in mind.
I love the silhouette of the moving head of the guy in front of the camera operator in the very beginning, and the laughter than follows the “bus driver?…what bus driver?” ine. And I love how Willliam Fichtner‘s reading of the line “do you have any idea who you’re stealing from?” (which refers to the fact that the bank has lots of mafia money in its vaults) is very similar to Warren Beatty‘s yelling during the “bark like a dog” sequence in Bugsy.
