Millenium Falcon and the Batmobile meet up in J.J. Abrams video
A long time ago in a movie crossover galaxy far, far away...
J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot tweeted a YouTube video today containing a close up of the Millennium Falcon space craft from "Star Wars."
The video starts off with John Williams' iconic film score playing in the background. But as we get a deeper glimpse underneath the boilerplate star vehicle, the music shifts into Hans Zimmer's score from "The Dark Knight" films, finally zooming in on a camouflaged Batmobile, or tumbler, that the caped crusader drove in the films.
The tweet mentioned Zack Snyder, who will be directing the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" crossover. However, Snyder's film will be using a different version of the Batmobile than was seen in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy. So this video isn't an announcement of some epic "Star Wars" and "Batman vs. Superman" crossover so much as just a fun easter egg between the directors of two highly-anticipated films.
Jump to hyperspace with the video below.
This isn't the first time Abrams and Snyder have playfully crossed over their respective franchises. The tweets from August 8th below show the directors having fun mixing up the "Star Wars" and Batman universes.
