What the hell did Bale go off with at the awards? I walked right in during his speech.
And if theres one thing I know, Nolan does a great job of hiring shit actresses in the Batman so I expect pt 3 to be no different |

I too like MG as Rachel. She played an adult character that looks like an adult No offenst to Holmes, I did like Pieces of April...and that's about it. BUT...she looked way to young and out of place in comparison to the rest of the cast. That guy from Shawshank who could sell me a bag of shit w/ just the sound of his voice.... Check Frank Carter. Check. Drexl. Check The Machinist guy. Check. The Samurai. Check. Darkman. Check. Katie Holmes...wait what? She's easily the weakest cast member in there. |

Of course, it's possible Katie Holmes passed on TDK to do Mad Money but that's probably studio spin that saves embarrassment on her part that some people probably didn't want her to return. Again, I could be wrong as it's complete conjecture on my part, but doesn't make a whole lot of sense for her to pass on returning especially given the character was going to die anyway. |

wow you're right...it's still pretty good..but...not in comparison to what would be for these films.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
That's how much of a negative effect Batman & Robin had. I think so long as Batman Begins had reversed people's thinking and made a respectable amount, Warner was happy (plus the budget was 'only' $150 million so adding in DVD sales/rentals gave them a modest profit).
Of course, add to the fact that it didn't have a 'name' in the starring role. At the same time, you can't discount what Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson and Michael Caine did with bringing back some respect to the character and rebooting the franchise. I'm sure whoever signed on first signaled to the other actors that this was not going to be the same Batman as the last go around; not that none of them have been in any stinkers but more often they seem to choose good projects. |
re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Yeah, cuz...those are some really solid fucking actors for sure.
It's funny...at the time of BB I'd only seen one Oldman film that I could remember (totally forgot about 5th Element at that time) so my only exposure to him was from Leon. My thoughts were..well...ok..he's playing a good cop....how odd. AND THEN did finally see his other films. Fucking Drexl, man. Oldman is fucking chameleon. |
re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
The folks who are worried about Christian Bale's weight need to research the movie he did right before Batman Begins.
|
re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Who's worried?
For those of you who don't know about what happend between The Machinist and BB: Bale lost all that weight for The Machinist, right? Correct. When Nolan wanted CB to bulk up (these are Bale's words on recollecting what Nolan said) he was told, "To get as big as you can get"....well he did. Too much so that he was like "a bear" (Bale called himself that I believe). |

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
I think you're right, my bad. I do remember Bale saying the Fatman comment.

They also felt the idea made the film into a "boys club" affair.

I always felt that if you took out the kiss at the end (and made the DA/ex-boyfriend a woman), Rachel could have easily been swapped out for Harvey.
Thing about that scene was, Holmes seemed so young for that role that I couldn't take it seriously when she actually scolds Bruce. |

And the awkwardly and unintentionally funny slap when she takes him to where Falcone is early on... That would've been weird of Dent to slap Bruce. :lol:

That (and the whole ride to that bar where Falcone would hang out) is the only bit of her acting that I truly liked. :lol: |
re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
still....I dunno how I'd feel about Dent being boyhood friends w/ Wayne. I kinda like him being the guy from outside GC who is coming in and fixing things.

Also...filming starts in May...all the way up to November. At least that's what Caine was told from Emma Thompson. Also that they would get the script in January.

....Damnit. Its a fucking typo.

Bale lost a lot of weight for The Fighter, too.

re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
So, does that mean Catwoman will actually appear or is it just the Kyle character with a possible spin-off opportunity?
