With the much anticipated conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ providing Batman with a number of new friends, foes, and frenemies - in the likes of Anne Hathaway’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Tom Hardy’s Bane, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s John Blake, and Marion Cotillard’s mysterious “Miranda Tate”. It’s only right that the Caped Crusader gets himself some new gadgets, the most significant likely being his new flying vehicle, ”The Bat”. The good folks over at Time to Play have posted an early video review of Mattel’s toy version of “The Bat”, providing us with a closer look at the vehicle.
‘The Dark Knight Rises’ stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Tom Hardy as Bane, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Jim Gordon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake, Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate. Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, Josh Stewart, Christopher Judge, Adam Rodriguez and Rob Brown co-star. ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is released in cinemas July 20th. Christopher Nolan directs the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan. The plot for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is being kept securely under wraps. I think it’s safe to say that, judging by the first theatrical trailer and the previous two films, I’d expect something A W E S O M E!

Hi-Res Look At Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke & Shia LaBeouf In John Hillcoat’s ‘Lawless’
Apr 18th
First emerging online as a low-res scan, this image of Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke and Shia LaBeouf has popped up online in hi-res from John Hillcoat’s (The Road, The Proposition) forthcoming prohibition crime-drama ‘Lawless.’ This film is without a doubt one of my anticipated films of 2012, it features a stellar cast in Hardy, LaBeouf, Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, Dane DeHaan and Gary Oldman. Adapted from Matt Bondurant’s novel ‘The Wettest County in the World: A Novel Based on a True Story,’ ‘Lawless’ formerly went under the title ‘The Wettest County.’ The story follows the Bondurant brothers (played by LaBeouf, Clarke and Hardy) who become bootleggers in the South during Prohibition. The screenplay for the movie is penned by frequent Hillcoat collaborator Nick Cave – who‘s also on soundtrack duty. Look out for ‘Lawless’ in cinemas August 31st. Source: ThePlaylist.
Gangster meets Western in LAWLESS, the true story of the freewheelin’ Bondurant brothers, bootlegging siblings taking the law into their own hands. This is the story of the rural hard-men that created the big city gangsters. Brazen and fearless, these young rebel brothers helped build the American Dream in this exuberant tale of what was to become crime’s first major gold rush. The youngest brother, JACK (Shia LaBeouf), fancies himself the next Al Capone; he dreams of sharp suits, guns, girls and fast cars, no matter the cost. Ambitious and impulsive, he takes the family’s small-scale moonshining operation to the big leagues, to impress the gorgeous but off-limits Amish girl, BERTHA (Mia Wasikowska). The middle brother, HOWARD (Jason Clarke), is the brawling muscle – loyal but reckless – never one to turn down a taste of white lightning. And eldest brother, FORREST (Tom Hardy), reluctantly accepts the changing times with grace and grit, leading the family with strength of character and silent determination against the beginnings of corporate greed. An enigmatic and stunning MAGGIE (Jessica Chastain) comes to town with a hidden past, igniting his passion and almost saving him in the process. As the Bondurants’ legend grows, so too does the danger, and it’s not long before the brothers must face the consequences of their transgressions, or rewrite the myth and the law themselves.
Tom Hardy Talks About His Take On Bane In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
Apr 16th
In the latest “Summer Movie Preview” issue of EW, Tom Hardy shed some light on his portrayal of Bane in Christopher Nolan’s hugely anticipated conclusion to his Batman trilogy, ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ giving his take on how the character differs to Batman previous adversary in the series, Heath Ledger’s the Joker: “The Joker didn’t care. He just wanted to see the world burn, and he was a master of chaos and destruction, unscrupulous and crazy. Bane is not that guy. There is a very meticulous and calculated way about Bane. There is a huge orchestration of organization to his ambition. He is also a physical threat to Batman. There is nothing vague about Bane. No jokes. He’s a very clean, clear villain.”
