The Dark Knight Rises

[Scarletwebslingr]

Warner Bros. has officially announced that the sequel to The Dark Knight (Batman 3) will be released on July 20, 2012 in both regular and IMAX theaters. This comes on the heels of this weeks earlier announcement that they’ve teamed up with IMAX for up to 20 additional films.

While there is no official word on what the film is about or even if director Christopher Nolan is going to helm the picture, I think it’s very safe to assume Nolan is back and he’ll start to talk about the movie when promoting Inception this summer.

More after the jump:

While everyone wondered what day WB would choose to release the next Batman installment, we should have guessed July 20. After all, The Dark Knight got released on July 18, 2008 and Nolan’s next film Inception gets released July 16. He clearly likes that 3rd week in July.
As of right now, the only high profile film getting released in July is Spider-Man and that’s hitting July 3, 2012. I think it’s very safe to assume every other movie studio is going to leave July 20th alone.
Other big movies in summer 2012 are The Avengers (May 4), Madagascar 3 (May 18), BattleshipBrave (May 25), Disney/Pixar’s Brave (June 15) and the Untitled Star Trek Sequel (June 29).

More as we hear it.

sweet i was wondering when they were going to make the dark knight sequel. i hope its just great as the last one.

[BeachGurl]

Its going to be really hard to top The Dark Knight. Those are some BIG shoes to fill.

[EvilJimmy]

I agree dark knight was REALLY good, I dont think they need to top it, just keep with the flow of great story telling. Batman Begins was terrific, THe Dark Knight was simly awesome. As long as they dont put to many villians in the movie to make it confusing it will be good. It should be just like the dark knight where batman fought the scarecrow in the begining and thats the last you saw of him and then 1 major villian in the movie. I really hope its the riddler and maybe a selena kyle cameo or something along those lines.

[Scarletwebslingr]

I hope Talia Al Ghul is the love interest. She is a superior fighter to Batman, the future mother of his child (Damion) and could link the third film to the first.

[cbisson]

lets hope for the riddler in this next film!

[BeachGurl]

lets hope for the riddler in this next film!

As long as he's not super cheeseball like Jim Carey's version. :lol:

[mickeyfan1999]

I have to agree with BeachGurl!!!
I can not wait for the movie!!!

[Scarletwebslingr]

I have to agree with BeachGurl!!!
I can not wait for the movie!!!

I just hope they don't cast some insta-credible guy like Depp to lure people in. They need strong performers who aren't gimmicky.

[yankeeboy]

I would love to see Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy back on the big screen........just please No Terminator look alike again.

[RMThompson]

I just want to take this oppportunity to say that I don't think I am going to like Pixar's Brave.

Dark Knight Sequel? Hmm we'll see.

[peaches magee]

Looks like Caine has confirmed... filming started April 2011 :)

[SherKhan72]

I'm really hoping that the 3rd part of this series will be good. I know that Christopher Nolan mentioned that the 3rd one will be the final one for the series. I think Dark Knight was a very good way of ending it but knowing how the film industry gets when it makes huge amount of money, they have to have a sequal even though the ending of Dark Knight could have been the closing of the Batman series for Nolan. I'm just hoping that they'll get a really kool villain. I'm hearing The Riddler and if not, The Penguin, tht's the rumor that I've been hearing. I personally think they should bring in Harley Quinn and have Batman enter Arkham Asylum.

[matt24256]

Please no Robin!

[RVDjeep]

Yes this will be good, now that's Nolan is done with Inception we will be starting to ear more about the film. He always said that he only works on one movie at a time. A darker riddler would be nice.

As for the love interest, to one true love interest Batman ever had is Catwoman.

[peaches magee]

Looks like we have our villains and cast :)


Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” She will be starring alongside Christian Bale, who returns in the title role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Christopher Nolan stated, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.”

In addition, Tom Hardy has been set to play Bane. Nolan said, “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.” Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven. “The Dark Knight Rises” is slated for release on July 20, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

[mshalloween]

Yay! I love Anne and I love Tom!!!!! I can't wait for this movie. Seriously. Can. Not. Wait.

[peaches magee]

I had to look up Tom Hardy because the name didn't ring a bell, but then realized he was the guy that I LOVED in Inception so I am all for this casting :D

I think I loved everyone in Inception... sigh. Tom was a bit of a scene-stealer, though! I wasn't familiar with him before Inception, so it was pretty nice to see a fresh face too!

[reyalp12]

just read this! can't wait to see some screen shots

[SherKhan72]

I have no question on the casting but my question is, are they the right villain? I'm trusting Christopher Nolan won't be screwing this up like Joel Schumacher did with his version of "Bane". To me, it seems like they are always trying to rush one of the "main" villains on the last movie, i.e. Spider-Man 3 (Venom), Batman and Robin (Bane), and X-Men 3 (everyone Brett Ratner can fit in the movie). Christopher Nolan better becareful on how he treats Bane. But like I said, I have no problem with the casting.

:cross: Christopher Nolan has done this series SO right so far. I have high hopes that he won't screw it up with this third and final one!!!

Eh, I wouldn't speak too soon. Nolan certainly isn't above poor casting (Maggie and Katie, for instance). And, while Dark Knight was still good, I had issue with Two-Face's mere two seconds of face time and Joker wearing a "mask" (albeit face paint). I'm not crazy about the title at all, and I've never been blown or anything even close by Hathaway. Selina is alluring, seductive, and all around butt-kicking. I have't seen enough of those attributes associated with Hathaway to be convinced. She could do just fine, but I have my doubts.

I like all of the things you didn't like (except Katie Holmes... Tom Cruise completely ruined her for me!!), so my hopes are still high!

I totally agree that the Two-Face had a very short time on The Dark Knight. I think he shouldn't be in there. I personally thought that the Joker could stayed as the main villain and he didn't need anyone. I think the late Heath Ledger did an outstanding maniacal Joker and Jack Nicholson did an outstanding joking Joker. I personally thought that Nolan could have stayed in a story where Joker was in jail, you don't need to show his face since they didn't want to add another Joker beside the late Heath Ledger, and have a female Harley Quinn) deranged fan of a Joker to start going insane in Gotham City.

[Ghost Host]

You can disagree with how long Two-Face was in the movie but that's wanting your interpretation over Nolans. The key thing is to discuss "Did Nolan do a good job with his interpretation? And that is a resounding yes. The Dark Knight was sheer genius. Regarding Katie Holmes. I think she did a good job. However, by the time the movie came out, the world was so sick and tired of her and Tom Cruise that she had to go. I don't think she could have pulled off The Dark Knight as well as Maggie Gyllenhaal. While Maggie isn't as beautiful as some would want, she's a great actress and pulled the role off.

Nolan's take on the superhero genre is gonna irritate many comic book lovers but I find his ability to make the movies actually believable, fascinating.

I've seen enough of Hathaway to know she can pull off the beauty aspect of Catwoman with a touch of the crazy. Let's be honest. Catwoman is supposed to be crazy but sexy. Men can overlook crazy if they are sexy enough. hahaha

I really don't think Harley Quinn is a good enough villain unless the Joker is in the movie as well. What's the payoff for her character? She wants the Joker out but we never see him? I just don't think that's good enough for this series.

I totally agree. I think Nolan did an amazing job with his interpretation. I think Katie Holmes did do a good job in Batman Begins, but yes, the world was sick and tired of her by the time the movie was out. Maggie was a great replacement. Like you said, she's not the most beautiful (I think she's got a very unique look, and I like that about her), but she's a great actress and yes, totally pulled the role off.

And Re: Anne Hathaway... look at Alice in Wonderland. She was totally nuts in that movie and still beautiful, even with that snow white hair. I think she handle this role.

Well that's just the thing. The answer to your question, "Did Nolan do a good job with his interpretation," it is necessary to display of our "wants" over his. I disagree that Katie did a good job acting. For me she stood in dramatic contrast to the other actors in terms of capability and really pulled me out of the story. Maggie just bothered me because they didn't even try to make her look younger and chose lighting and wardrobe that aged her more than she ought to have looked.

While I know this is just one guy's opinion, Hathaway is about as sexy and crazy as a basket of kittens. I don't buy it. Could she surprise me? Sure. But I just don't have any expectations for it. I think with the Oscars coming up she was simply nice name to plug in to the character. And really I was turned off by the blatant trashiness of her latest film. Nothing "sexy" about it, even with all the overly hyped nude scenes. It was just tasteless, gimmicky, and shameful. Again, Gemma Arteson seemed the ideal choice out of the lot of hopefuls in my mind.

Regarding Fanboys and comic adaptations, I'm well aware that directors take liberties, but to give Joker a mask robs the character of his strongest trump card. Batman wears a mask to hide his insanity, Joker doesn't, and instead embraces who he is, begging the question, "who is really the psycho: The man cramming it under a cowl and cape and parading through the city in a bat costume or the one who is owning up to his condition?" That is what has defined Joker, that's what made him such an amazing arch enemy. Bats and Joker were supposed to be two sides of the same coin but Nolan trashed the idea. Dark Knight was a good film, but there were legitimate aspects that drove me up a wall. Besides the stupid batman voice and love interests, I mean.

I too like Nolan's interpretation of Batman and that is why I'm some what excited for the new 'Superman' movie which is being produced by him. All the villains that he has chosen so a far has been right on the spot and I have no doubt he'll pull off this Catwoman and Bane team up. But I can't help but think that it was Bane who broke the Batman's back so I'm somewhat expecting something like it, a Nolan's interpretation of it. I know that this is not the story of "Batman: Knightfall" but I'd like to see something similar to this. I'm wondering if his interpretation of Bane is prior of him being tested for the Venom serum. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I trust Nolan will do justice.
About Harley Quinn, I wasn't thinking of her being the only villain. I was thinking of Quinn plus another major villain with Quinn just being so infatuated with Joker that she basically became the "next" Joker, per say. I'm sure Nolan would have done a story similar to that. But it would have to be Quinn and another major villain, and who would have been the other villain, I can't think of him/her yet.

Anne will be an awesome Catwoman! A lot better than Halle Berry

[TheOneTheyDontSpeakOf]

I think Anne Hathaway is a good actress, I just haven't liked most of the movies she's been in as of late. I trust Nolan and his vision, I just have a hard time with how he's going to bring realism to Bane's character. Albeit, my comic book knowledge is limited, but I'm just confused with the choices for villains. I'm happy to say though that I have no problem with reserving judgment, Nolan hasn't let me down at all. Batman Begins, Prestige, Inception, and then of course, Dark Knight.

I was hoping that Ra's al Ghul would return... *sigh*

btw, I love that video SherKahn.... that was classic :rofl:

[MartyMcfly]

I am a big dark knight fan and it is going to be hard to beat the last film but christopher nolan is dope and i think that this next movie is going to be epic lol

[MJones]

I completely trust Nolan will do right with the villains he's chosen to feature. Everyone was quick to question his choice in using Heath Ledger as the Joker, and look how that turned out. I can't wait to see Tom or Anne in promo stills.

[mshalloween]

I just read this morning that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been rumored to be a part of TDKR!!! That would be awesome. I've loved him ever since 3rd Rock from the Sun! He's so adorable and a tremendous actor.


Rumours about Joseph Gordon-Levitt working again with his Inception director Christopher Nolan have been circulating ever since… well… he took the job on Inception. So it comes as little surprise to find Deadline reporting that he’s in talks to join the cast of The Dark Knight Rises.

Naturally, nothing is official yet: Warners and Nolan always tend to keep Batman news close to their chests until the last possible moment (or until things are confirmed, such as the recent announcement of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman), but you’ve got to figure that the director would end up cherry-picking from the cast he enjoyed working with so much on Inception to fill out his Bat-world.

Tom Hardy’s already aboard as Bane and Gordon-Levitt’s schedule on Rian Johnson’s Looper should be finished by the time Nolan’s planned May shoot start for Rises rolls around.

Of course, now we’re starting to wonder what role he’ll play. Ssome are naturally quick to think of him as a natural successor to Heath Ledger as the Joker, but Nolan has said time and again that the villain won’t be showing up again, partly out of loyalty to the deceased actor.

So give us your best guesses. We'll get the ball rolling with the least likely option: could Nolan be using what he keeps describing as his final Batman film to finally address Robin?

[pumbaa7287]

I read a rumor somewhere that they were originally considering Hardy for the part of Dr. Hugo Strange, so maybe they'll be looking at that for JGL... It was also reported at one point that Ra's Al Ghul's daughter Talia will be in this movie.

[VinylEaston]

I'm so juiced for Bane in this one. My favorite villain other than Two-Face! That poster that was released already looks soooo tight

Thank God another film with Tom Hardy just for me!! LOL ... :) I can't wait to see it!! I love Nolan's work too!

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

I think as far as villains go Tom will be the perfect part he really can go dark so to speak ... ie Bill in Oliver Twist .... Or even his Wurthering Heights performance ... Not to mention Bronson ... :) I think he'll be great so at the very least the villain role IMO won't be the films downfall ... Lol ... But I'm a sucker for Hardy so ... I guess my opinion might not be based in much reality haha!!

[Scarletwebslingr]

Me too.. I think Batman & Robin forever ruined Robin for me. :lol:

Young Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) was shown in the last film to be about 10 years old. She and Dick Grayson are relatively close in age so Robin shouldn't arrive to the scene for like 5/6 following the events of the last movie.

[mshalloween]

It's been reported that Marion Cotillard has joined the cask of TDKR!

http://batman-news.com/2011/02/13/marion-cotillard-in-the-dark-knight-rises-after-all/



Back in January it was reported that Marion Cotillard was pregnant with her first child. After being on rumored short lists for The Dark Knight Rises, many believed her pregnancy would prevent her from joining the cast. Well now, according to French publication Le Figaro, Cotillard may be joining The Dark Knight Rises cast after all. The article is in French, but here’s a rough Google translation:

Marion Cotillard in “Batman 3″. The actress, who is expecting a child in the spring with Guillaume Canet, will be scarce this year. She’ll do a single film and her choice fell on Batman 3. This blockbuster produced by Warner Bros.. enables her to work with the director Christopher Nolan, with whom she had turned very successful sci-fi Inception. Marion Cotillard will join the filming this summer in Los Angeles. She will share the bill with Anne Hathaway.

Marion is expected to give birth this May, but she would have enough time to prepare for The Dark Knight Rises later this year– it’s shooting from May until November. With the heavy rumors that Talia will be in the movie, is Marion Cotillard the second female lead?

[Anders Limpar]

It was announced this week that they are filming this in Pitsburgh. It will be interesting for me to see obvious shots of Pittsburgh in the film considering the last one contained scenes that were obviously shot in Chicago.

We've also recently had Love and Other Drugs, The Next Three Days, Adventureland, Zack and Miri, etc. all filmed here in the past few years

[mshalloween]

Anyone a Rescue Me or Grey's Anatomy fan? Daniel Sunjata has been cast in TDKR!

http://www.slashfilm.com/daniel-sunjata-joins-the-dark-knight-rises/



UPDATE: Variety is now reporting that Sunjata’s role is that of a “courageous special forces operative” and that Diego Klattenhoff and Burn Gorman are also in talks.

Casting has been the thing for Christopher Nolan over the past few weeks. After locking down all of the lead roles in his highly anticipated third Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, with actors like Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon Levitt and Marion Cotillard, Nolan has recently been concentrating on the smaller roles. He’s cast Juno Temple, most likely as Selina Kyle’s sidekick, and Josh Pence probably as a young Ra’s Al Ghul. The Tracking Board now reports that Daniel Sunjata, best known for his role on Rescue Me, has joined the film in a yet-to-be-announced capacity.

According to The Tracking Board, Sunjata is “rumored to play an ‘important character to the story.’” Variety says that his role is that of a “courageous special forces operative” and that also joining the cast are Diego Klattenhoff, as “a rookie cop who is looking to make a difference” and Burn Gorman, in a “supporting role.”

If you don’t recognize Sunjata, you probably don’t watch TV. He was a regular on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, played Reggie Jackson the ESPN show The Bronx Is Burning, was a nurse on Grey’s Anatomy but is best known for playing Franco Rivera on FX’s hit show, Rescue Me.

Klattenhoff was recently cast in Showtime’s upcoming show Homefront while Gorman was in Layer Cake, the popular BBC series Torchwood and will appear in the Johnny English Reborn.

So how do all of these guys, mostly law officers, fit in? Let’s speculate based on facts we already know. Anne Hathaway is playing Selena Kyle, who most likely becomes Catwoman. Tom Hardy is Bane, a brutal enforcer. The film will feature flashbacks with the character of Ra’s Al Ghul as a younger man and it will all be shot in Pittsburgh. Other than that, we’re making educated guesses. We think Joseph Gordon Levitt is Alberto Falcone but can’t be sure and the same goes for Cotillard, who is probably Thalia Al Ghul, but that has yet to be confirmed.

There is actually a rumor that they are going to blow up our 50 year old arena that currently is uninhabited and film it for the movie. A brand new arena opened back in August. That would be cool.

[Anders Limpar]

Filming starts tomorrow in Pittsburgh for this movie. They are going to cover a couple of the city streets in snow, meanwhile tomorrow's high is going to be in the 90's.

I cannot wait for this movie to come out. its the only thing coming out in theaters next year or so that I have High hopes for. So many villains and I love Chris Nolan so hopefully it is Epic and concludes one of my top 3 trilogies.

[aug4457081]

I dont understand why this movie is getting so much hate with the spy pics :/ especially with bane, complaints of him not being massive enough. sure he isn't massive like in the comics, but that would take away from the "reality" that Nolan has put into the series. Like with raas al ghul, that guy is immortal in the comics, but in order to make it realistic he couldn't be immortal and I still think batman begins was an excellent movie :/ as with catwoman, I doubt they wouldn't give her a cowl, even the modern catwoman has a cowl and goggles on top of it. sorry just my 2 cents

I agree with what you say, i will give praise or judgement when it comes out, i don't need to see more trailers since they tend to ruin the movies sometimes if done bad.

[peaches magee]

Anyone get to see the 6 minute prologue? Looks to be an amazing flick! Sure I can barely understand Bane, but he is going to be awesome. I hope they fix his muffled voice in editing or I need some subtitles for him. Can't wait for this!!
