Joseph Gordon-Levitt Closes Deal For The Dark Knight Rises
Quote:
Following more than six weeks of negotiations, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has signed on for an undisclosed role in The Dark Knight Rises, reuniting the actor with Inception director Christopher Nolan and co-stars Tom Hardy and Michael Caine.

In addition, Variety reports, indie actress Juno Temple (Cracks, Kaboom) is being considered “for a supporting role as a street-smart Gotham girl.”

Gordon-Levitt, who starred in the sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun before moving on to films like Mysterious Skin, Brick and (500) Days of Summer, has long been rumored for roles in The Dark Knight Rises as varied as The Riddler, Black Mask, Deadshot and Alberto Falcone.

Although Nolan revealed five months ago that The Riddler won’t be in the film, the other characters certainly remain a possibility. The trade paper gives more weight to Deadshot, describing him as a member of the League of Shadows — the organization introduced in 2005′s Batman Begins, and rumored to return in the new film with Talia al Ghul as its leader.

Gordon-Levitt joins a cast that so far includes Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. The Dark Knight Rises begins filming in April for release on July 20, 2012.

So spider man is gonna be in this movie? Clever nolan. The ball is now in my court.

[koriwhat]

my money is on him playing as the joker... i said it to a couple friends like a yr ago that this dude will replace whatsthatdeaddudesname.

[Death In June]

JGL would make a better black mask than deadshot. Chris Nolan said he won't be recasting the joker.

[howbouthemspurs]

He would be an awesome Riddler! but so would Leonardo DiCaprio.... come on Nolan! you can make it happen!

[IronMexican]

They need to scrap this whole current Batman. Hire Ahnold at Mr Freeze, Jim Carrey as the Riddler, and Clooney as Batman. I call it a vision. Sounds like one of the best Batman's yet, huh?

Is it bright where you are?
Have the people changed?
Does it make you happy you're so strange?
And in your darkest hour
I hold secrets flame
We can watch the world devoured in it's pain

:cry

Nope. The Beginning is the End is the Beginning is good, but it's nowhere near the best Smashing Pumpkins song.

[IronMexican]

That is something a hipster would say.

[Lefty's understudy]

the real RIDDLE is who he will be playing

Director Christopher Nolan and actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard will come together for an Inception-style reunion in The Dark Knight Rises, the third and final film in the Batman series.
Warner Brothers Pictures announced Tuesday that Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon. Cotillard will play Miranda Tate, a board member at Wayne Enterprises who helps Wayne resume his late father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.
“When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience,” said Nolan in a statement. “I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again.”
Michael Caine, who had a brief role in Inception, will also reclaim his staple role as Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred in The Dark Knight Rises.
The Dark Knight Rises, which also stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, is set for release on July 20, 2012.

It's like Inception meets the batman series! Definitely would be a good Black Mask, but please don't have him revive the Joker. That would basically kill the credibility of Nolan's Batman in my opinion.

Fuck the universe for making me wait until July of next year...

[Creepn]

Tom Hardy needs about 2 more months to look like Bane.

Not impossible. He was bigger in Bronson than he looks in that picture.

[lefty]

He won't be as big as the Bane we all know

They may use some camera trickery, but that will be just about it

[Creepn]

Not impossible. He was bigger in Bronson than he looks in that picture.

Ah, thanks for reminding me. I need to put Bronson in my netflix queue again. Netflix sent me a damaged one the first time.

Bronson is available for streaming.

[ohmwrecker]

He sure is short.

[CuckingFunt]

He sure is short.

Which (in addition to Nolan's adherence to a somewhat real world feel so far) makes me think TDKR won't go too overboard in depicting the effects of Venom. Hardy is somewhere in the 5' 8" - 5' 10" range, which is actually a bit taller than Bane is when not juicing (per the specs listed in Batman: Arkham Asylum).



/obsessive

[ohmwrecker]

Obviously . . .

He looks huge on some of the comics I've seen. It really doesn't matter to me. It's not like I don't already have suspend a shit ton of belief to watch a Batman movie anyway.

[DMC]

Inception I like. Batman not so much.

[CuckingFunt]

this looks like the suck

Looks like the kind of movie that some people will unnecessarily praise as the greatest superhero movie of all time, and one of the best films ever made, but that some people will criticize as being horribly overrated without ever actually watching the film.

Kinda like the last one.

Normally I would be a cunt and point out that this picture was just posted on the previous page, but... for some reason... I'm lacking the motivation to do so this time.

[DPG21920]

WTH, they should let the dude in the white shirt play in the movie, not the fat guy in the black shirt :lol I don't get why CF goes nuts over that guy.

Not sure if serious...



The dude in the white shirt is Tom Hardy.

Was not serious. But made you second guess yourself.

Didn't Wile E. Coyote once try a green version of that cape? Seemed to be working well for him too until he smashed into that rock face.

Or you failed at making a funny.
