“Devil” actress to play Batty’s squeeze?
Rising newcomer Emily Blunt (“The Devil Wears Prada”) is rumoured [this week, anyway] to be in line to replace Katie Holmes for the forthcoming “The Dark Knight”, reports Cinema Blend.
The site heard from a “reliable” scooper who let slip that the folks behind the upcoming second “Batman” jaunt are in big fat gushy love with the actress, and want her to take over the role that Holmes (who quit the part recently) originated in “Batman Begins”.
The site says that “Our same anonymous source insists that Katie didn’t leave the project, but was dropped. Anything you’ve heard otherwise is just PR spin to save face. Of course, anyone with half a brain could have figured that out. You don’t intentionally ditch a recurring role in Batman to star in a crappy romantic comedy with Queen Latifah. Nobody, not even Katie Holmes, is that stupid.
“For now though, just pencil this in as a wild rumor. My source is one that’s been right before, yet even if this is true it only means that Emily Blunt is being considered for the part of Rachel Dawes. It doesn’t mean she has it. Sit back and wait for Nolan to make up his mind.”
With Forest Whitaker so hot right now, I reckon he’ll be in with a chance too.
