Morgan Freeman Joins The Likes Of Tom Cruise & Andrea Riseborough In Joseph Kosinski’s ‘Oblivion’
Feb 9th
Deadline bring word that Morgan Freeman has joined Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko in Joseph Kosinski’s (Tron: Legacy) forthcoming sci-fi flick ‘Oblivion’ (originally titled ‘Horizons’). Scheduled for a July 19th, 2013 release, the film is based on Kosinski’s own Radical Publishing comic book series. Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine) is currently rewriting a script that had earlier drafts by William Monahan (The Departed) and Karl Gajdusek (Trespass)
‘Oblivion’ takes place in an apocalyptic future where most of the population live in clouds above an earth surface that has been rendered uninhabitable. Cruise will play a soldier who’s stuck alone on the planet, repairing the drones that patrol and destroy a savage alien life form. He encounters a beautiful woman who crashes in a craft, and their experience together forces him to question his world view. Kurylenko will play Cruise’s lover and partner who acts as an anchor to the city in the clouds while he performs his repair work on the surface below. Riseborough will play the crash-landed stranger who sways Cruise’s character away from his lover. There’s currently no details on Freeman’s role.

On the promotional campaign for ‘This Means War,’ the The UK Press Association briefly spoke to Tom Hardy about playing Bane in the eagerly anticipated conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’: The actor has described the character as “brutal” and “heavy-handed”, but said that he had no problem separating himself from the role. ”I didn’t get into a dark place at all. A lot of dark characters are easy to have distance from, it’s something I feel comfortable with, I suppose.”

In the article Christian Bale opened up about his last day in the Batsuit: “My last day in the suit was also the last day of shooting for me. I was in New York, on top of a downtown skyscraper. The day began with Morgan Freeman and then ended with Anee Hathaway. I got to say goodbye from within the batcowl. it was very quiet, just a couple people there. But in the midst of it, I said, ‘Hold on a sec. Let me take a moment. This is it. I’m never going to have this claustrophobia again!’ So I had to pause. I had to.
“It’s a fascintating thing, that suit, don’t you think? And since I am generally within it, I actually don’t get to see it that often. Not the way that other people do. I can tell you the truth because I’m done with it: I felt immense pressure. And I think it’s a good pressure because you owe it to the films-and the people’s expectations-to make greatwork.”

Anne Hathaway Talks About Playing Catwoman/Selina Kyle In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
Dec 29th
Hero Complex recently caught up with Anne Hathaway to talk about her playing Catwoman/Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan’s hugely anticipated conclusion to his Batman trilogy, ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’ Speaking about her costume, the actress had the following to say: “I love the costume, because everything has a purpose, nothing is in place for fantasy’s sake, and that’s the case with everything in Christopher Nolan’s Gotham City.”
On the topic of Gotham City, Hathaway said: “Gotham City is full of grace. You look at Heath’s performance as the Joker, there was a lot of madness there but there was also a grace and he had a code there. There’s a lot of belief and codes of behavior in Gotham and my character has one, too. A lot of the way she moves and interacts with people is informed by her worldview. Chris has given us all such complex, defined, sophisticated worldviews that it’s just a matter of doing your homework and getting underneath the character’s skin.”
In regards to how other interpretations of the character have affected her performance, Hathaway revealed: “What’s come before doesn’t limit or even affect this new version. It doesn’t affect me because each Catwoman, and this is true in the comics as well, she is defined by the context of the Gotham City created around her. Catwoman is so influenced by Gotham and whoever is creating Gotham at the time. Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman was informed by Tim Burton’s Gotham and Eartha Kitt was informed by Adam West’s Gotham. You have to live in whatever the reality of the world is and whatever Gotham is.”
Hero Complex also offer up a scene description from the movie that features Hathaway as Catwoman, be warned though as it contains spoilers.
