Yep, another casting rumour surfaces
Had an oil rig full of emails about news over at the excellent Batman-On-Film.com site suggesting a couple of my fellow Aussies might be up for roles in the forthcoming “Batman Begins” sequel.
According to the oft-bookmarked site “”Colin from Brisbane” emailed saying that an Aussie mag titled ROCK CITY is reporting that Hugo Weaving and Hugh Jackman are in the Bat-Sequel mix as The Joker and Harvey Dent respectively. I wouldn’t put very much stock at all in this rumor, but I’d thought I’d toss it out there for you all to digest and discuss”.
Forgetting the fact that Jackman would be rather unlikely to be bitting the end of WB’s line, wanting to get in on another comic-to-film series so soon……um, ROCK CITY? A quick check on my Internet computers here at the publishing company I spend my days at, and nothing comes up. A quick ask-around resulted in nothing too. By the looks of it, there is no ROCK CITY.
So as Bill at the abovementioned site says don’t put much stock into this one at the moment. Anything is possible, but at this stage I wouldn’t be surprised if neither Jackman or Weaving have even heard a cricket croak about the project.
Meantime, the site played debunker this week too. News that Bob Hoskins would be up for the role of The Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot in the film has been executed by firing squad. Both Hoskins and an insider for the site claim that the “Mona Lisa” actor isn’t in the running for the role.
Thanks to ‘Craig’, ‘Mandrake’, ‘Captain Hoity, ‘Alex’.
