Delete Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/165941-cotillard-and-gordon-levitt-officially-join-the-dark-knight-rises Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have joined the cast of The Dark Knight Rises, the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight legend. Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father's philanthropic endeavors for Gotham. Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon. The film reunites the actors with Christopher Nolan, who recently directed them in the award-winning blockbuster Inception. The director stated, "When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience. I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again." Heading the cast of The Dark Knight Rises, Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The main cast also includes Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy as Bane. Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Christopher 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Cool. I'm fine with them not crowding these with characters we know, it means we don't have expectations of them. Plus unlike with Katie Holmes, these are actors who can lend their parts some real weight. Even though I actually like Katie Holmes. Not in Batman obviously, but generally.

dc20willsave Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Am I the only one happy that we don't have them playing Talia or a gangster or something like that? Seriously, I'm just happy that the film isn't sounding overcrowded like all the stupid rumors were sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm gald to see these two in there. Would I liked to have seen Cotillard as Talia? Hell yes, but these roles also seem to give them solid parts to play in the film. And I'm betting that JGL's character is going to be assigned to Wayne Corp or something. And Cotillard is probably going to be all sunshine and puppies, which means she'll be killed according to Nolan logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I'm just happy that the film isn't sounding overcrowded like all the stupid rumors were sounding. Nope. I've been hoping that Talia wouldn't be appearing for ages, since her inclusion could potentially turn the film into a clusterfuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I'm just happy that the film isn't sounding overcrowded like all the stupid rumors were sounding. I'm right with you. Two pages ago, people were bemoaning the fact that Talia would be leading the new League of Shadows headed by Bane. STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, INTERNET!!!

Nolan is perfectly capable of creating non-impressive love interests with no textual basis (see Dawes, Rachel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 At least one of those will be a swerve, just not sure which one. But I'd be happy if they weren't and it was just great actors in great supporting roles. Looking forward to see Oldman and JGL share some scenes.

You might as well tell the Internet to stop looking at porn and being douchebags while you're at it. Still, it's a problem with the internet. It's gotten to the point where if I read anything online that doesn't have an official source, I look at it as rumors or someone who just felt like making shit up because they need attention. This thread alone is filled with people deciding since someone got cast, they have to be playing someone and then the speculation getting taken as fact and it just getting all levels of annoying.

I'm at the point now, where I don't want to read spoilers about a film, and would much rather see the film, and enjoy it. I will admit, the internet and its constant "WE MUST SEE KNIGHTFALL! THIS IS ALL LEADING TO KNIGHTFALL! KNIGHTFALL!!!!" started to grate on even my nerves. In a totally unrelated topic, I think JGL is going to end up being Azrael I'm kidding.

slothian Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I can't remember - was there any online uproar about a non-Hispanic actor being picked for the role, or was the internet just happy that Bane wasn't going to be the Hulk in a luchadore mask this time around?

Molly Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Y'know, Bane is half English in the comics. Which would have been nice for Gail Simone to know before she went on her little PC rant about it. Of course, who would expect her to, she's only been writing the character for a few years.
