The latest on the “Batman Begins” sequel
Some Bat news today from various sources around the web.
Firstly, the man behind the cowl, Christian Bale, talked to IESB.net about just how different “The Dark Knight” will be than “Batman Begins”.
“I got Chris Nolan, whom I’m working with for the third time now. He ain’t going to be making a movie if he’s not going to do something very different with it”, Bale, who doesn’t start shooting his scenes for another fortnight, says. “Actually, I’m very much liking the idea because I’m having the pros playing the role before. So I know it already and obviously there will be progress. We got a great cast, and Chris and I work very well together, so I know that we are going to find an awful lot to add to it. It’s certainly not the last thing is treading water, but what we have now, we were confident before in what we wanted to do but other people didn’t know, it was untested now other people support us too so we have all of that extra support behind us to sort of let rip and take it through.”
Bale says he’s looking forward to working with the new Joker, Heath Ledger.
“Absolutely, he is a great choice for it. I like it personally. Heath has a really crazy take for playing that role. He’s going to do something really different with it.”
Meanwhile, Rutger Hauer tells IGN Movies that he won’t be back to play William Earle in the sequel – not as far as he knows anyway.
“I have not gotten the call yet,” he said.
Thirdly, and as you may have already read, JoBlo.com are reporting that Sarah Michelle Gellar is not part of the “Dark Knight” cast – despite rumours suggesting she was. Seems it was the wishful thinking of an over-eager fan.
