So we still have an agonizingly eight-month long wait until “The Dark Knight Rises” opens in theaters on July 20, but more details have emerged.
The details come straight from the film maker, Christopher Nolan, and star Tom Hardy who recently did an interview with Empire magazine in its upcoming issue.
The first detail revealed is that the next film will take place quite some time after the last movie left off… 8 YEARS LATER!
“It’s really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne’s story. We left him in a very precarious place,” says Nolan. “Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he’s an older Bruce Wayne; he’s not in a great state.”
Next, Tom Hardy who plays the new villain of TDKR, Bane, reveals some details regarding the challenges his character presents for the caped crusader.
“With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we’re testing Batman both physically as well as mentally,” Hardy explains.
“He’s brutal. Brutal. He’s a big dude who’s incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It’s not about fighting. It’s about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it’s nasty,” says Hardy. “Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action.”
Lastly, there has long been rumors of a prologue being released in theaters like with “The Dark Knight” whose opening sequence was released in select IMAX theaters before the theatrical release.
Nolan confirmed these rumors saying that the prologue will be presented before screenings of “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” in late December.
“It’s basically the first six, seven minutes of the film,” says Nolan. He also revealed that it will serve as “an introduction to Bane, and a taste of the rest of the film.”
[UPDATE]
Breaking News: Ellen Page, star of “Inception” and “Juno“, may be in the next Batman Film!
Apparently, a source snapped a picture on the set of the film of a trailer door with the name E. Page on it.
According to Page’s IMBD, she is currently filming a movie called “The East” that’s due to come out in 2012. This would eliminate the possibility of being in TDKR, but if you look at the photo you’ll see the character name “B. Gordon” is present.
B. Gordon stands for Barbara Gordon, as in the daughter of Police Commissioner James Gordon, this seems like a good fit for her.
Also, she has a relationship with Nolan in that she starred in his film, “Inception”. Nolan is known for reusing actors from previous films.
We will just have to wait and see.
