Mar 25th
Showblitz are reporting that indie darling Juno Temple is locked in to play a “street-smart Gotham girl” in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ enhancing an already powerhouse cast. Details are minimal at this moment in time, I’m sure we’ll be hearing additional information regarding her casting in the next few days.
‘The Dark Knight Rises’ has a release date of June 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy. My excitement meter is officially set to HIGH for this flick!
Christian Bale Reveals That ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Will Be The Last Time He Portrays Batman ‘Unless Christopher Nolan Says Different’
Nov 23rd
In a recent chinwag with Totalfilm, Christian Bale declared that the upcoming Batman film, ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘, will be the third and final time he portrays Bruce Wayne/Batman ‘unless [Christopher Nolan] says different’.
“The thing is that this will be, I believe, unless [Christopher Nolan] says different, this will be the last time I’m playing Batman.”
Christopher Nolan has said for a while now that ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ will be the conclusion to the story he started with ‘Batman Begins’. ”Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we’re telling. And it hearkens back to that priority of trying to find the reality in these fantastic stories. That’s what we do.”
In the interview Bale also reveals what he knows about the top-secret script :
“Chris will let me know what I need to know when I need to know it,” he said. “It’s our fourth movie together, and I probably know a little bit more than maybe some people out there, but I think most people will be surprised by how little I do know.”
“It just hasn’t been necessary yet,” he continued. “I know he’ll give me plenty of time to prepare whatever I need to for it and I’ll discover it. He’s a pretty damn good filmmaker I trust that he’s going to come up with something wonderful.”
The Dark Knight Rises has a release date of June 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy.
Tom Hardy Rumoured To Be Playing Dr. Hugo Strange In Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
Nov 17th
I’m still holding out for Catwoman, but apparently according to Batman News and it’s unnamed source, Tom Hardy is rumoured to be playing Dr. Hugo Strange as the main villain in The Dark Knight Rises. Strange is as mad as a hatter with box of frog‘s – it’d be a great role for Hardy.
My source strongly believes that Hardy is going to be playing Hugo Strange. This is the first bit of information from this person that I’m publishing, however they have been accurate in the past. For example, this person told me weeks before the recent Christoper Nolan interview that The Riddler would not be appearing in the film. They also mentioned that Rachel Weisz and Anne Hathaway were in the running for the lead female role a couple of weeks before Deadline posted their list.
I have to admit all this villain speculation is doing my head in! So far it looks like we’ll have a male villain in Tom Hardy, and a female villain in which the likes of Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Keira Knightley are said to be circling (along with Batman‘s/Bruce Wayne‘s love interest). Hopefully we can get some concrete casting news soon. The Dark Knight Rises has a release date of June 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy.
