Accelerating Design: The New Batmobile

About This Movie

So, this little gem, 'Accelerating Design: The New Batmobile,' is a behind-the-scenes peek that really dives into the nitty-gritty of how they reimagined Batman's ride for 'BvS.' Sal Maskela's hosting brings a lively energy, and you can feel the passion from the team, especially Patrick Tatopoulos and Dennis McCarthy. They talk about the challenges of crafting a vehicle that's not just visually striking but also functional on set. The practical effects really shine here, as they spent four months perfecting the final design. It's a unique look into the creative process that often gets overshadowed by the big blockbuster noise. If you're into design and the engineering behind cinematic vehicles, this one’s a treat.

This documentary has a bit of a niche appeal, primarily for collectors who appreciate the intricacies of film design rather than just the finished product. It's not widely circulated, which adds to its allure; you won't find it on every shelf. The limited releases and featurette nature mean that it can be a bit tricky to come by, making it a noteworthy piece for those who value behind-the-scenes exploration of cinematic vehicles.
