Top figure from The Dark Knight come up .
The complete circle of the 50 - pageboy production notes for Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale ’s final Batman film is now on-line . While it does n’t give away any magnanimous plot point , it does help fill in some more entropy about the eight long time that have elapsed between the end of The Dark Knight and the beginning of The Dark Knight rear . So lease ’s carry through some of the highlighting , starting with how Batman has changed when he render from his self - imposed expat :
Although Bale was embarking on his third outing as Batman , he had to demonstrate more of a physical electric arc in “ The Dark Knight grow , ” as Bruce had not been the Caped Crusader for so many years . In the first two film , Bale apply a mixed martial art discipline call Keysi , but that would have to be qualify , ponder his current condition and in response to the style of his opponent . Stunt coordinator Tom Struthers tell , “ We did n’t drop Keysi , but we acquire it to another storey to deal with the brutality of Bane . ”
The note also bring out that it ’s Catwoman , not Bane , who brings Batman back out into the world , and screenwriter Jonathan Nolan explain how Anne Hathaway ’s role finally gets Bale ’s Batman to lighten up a second :
Something about her morally equivocal philosophy finally gives Batman someone he can relate to . In a weird way , she ’s the yin to his yang . The dynamic between them is so sweet - the playful way she kind of pokes playfulness at him - it sparks a connection between them and takes some of the somberness away from his character . ”
Perhaps the most interesting news come from Gary Oldman , who offers a much clearer take on how eight years of using Batman ’s “ villainy ” to strip up the metropolis has eaten forth at Commissioner Gordon :
“ It ’s a enigma that ’s deplete away at him for days . offense is at an all - meter first gear in Gotham , but Gordon hump that it ’s taint . Now he ’s ready to come blank , but there does n’t seem to be a proper prison term or place , and he also call into question if the urban center is ready for the truth . Then , because of Bane , he ’s in the athletic field again . I think he ’s like a soldier who likes to be on the front agate line , commence his hand dirty . He ’s likely been doing a tidy sum of paper press in the intervene years and that has dampened his spirit . Now you really feel like the old Gordon is back . ”
Part of what brings Commissioner Gordon — and Bruce Wayne — back is the introduction of Joseph Gordon - Levitt ’s young copper John Blake , who Nolan describes as “ a jr. , more idealistic soul who , in a room , represents where they ’ve come from … [and ] who turn down to back down , disregardless of the odds . ” Gordon - Levitt and Nolan ’s wife and producer Emma Thomas expand on that :
Gordon - Levitt : “ John Blake is the kind of guy who probably always require to be a cop and consecrate himself to being excellent at his chore . He is someone who conceive in what he does and I admire that in anybody . In the thick of a caboodle of cynicism , he remain proud to be a police officeholder . ”
Thomas : “ Gordon unquestionably sees something of himself as a young cop in John Blake . Everyone else seems to have lost focus because things have been so sound , but Blake is the first to realize that something ’s up , and Gordon recognizes those instinct by boost him and lay him on his squad . ”
in the end , here are Christopher Nolan and Tom Hardy ’s take on Bane :
Nolan : “ When you ’re creating a monstrous mien like Bane in a motion-picture show , you could concentrate just on the physical or you could focus on the more psychological aspects . With Tom , I love I would get the whole package . He is such an incredible player ; he was able to depict this beast of a man who has exceptional combat skills , but also able to transmit the psyche of someone who is damage inside as well as out . Tom is the kind of actor who savour the challenge of having to generate an integral performance with most of his face covered up . What he is able-bodied to do with just his eyes is truly awing . ”
Hardy : “ Bane has come to do a task and has no intuitive feeling of remorse or shame about the decease and wipeout he ’s do . There is nothing equivocal about Bane . He is understandably a villain – just a horrible man of employment … He is florid in his talking to , but has the animalism of a gorilla . So while he is quite articulated , we also wanted to establish a very visit presence . ”

When asked about the flick ’s cryptical mid - credits scene , in which an lag Dr. Curt Connors is visited by a shady Oscorp representative , director Marc Webb and Lizard actor Rhys Ifans would only offer these hints :
Webb : “ We wanted to convey that there were more forces at work than you may have initially think . That ’s all I can say about that . But I invite conjecture . I think it ’s very fun and interesting to listen to . ”
Ifans : “ James Scott Connors is institutionalize to an mental institution , a mellow - security sanctuary , as you would be if you threw constabulary towers across the Brooklyn Bridge . And he ’s visit by , shall we say , a congressman from Oscorp . How he gets into that jail cell and how he leaves that electric cell without the guard knowing ? We have yet to get out . ”
Webb would n’t say whether this figure — whether it ’s Norman Osborn himself , Mysterio , Elektro , or some other villain , as have all been rumor — would be the main scoundrel of the sequel , but he did say the unseen theatrical role would have a part in the future film(s ) . As for the income tax return of the Lizard , Ifans said nothing is support at this point , but he is at least happy his character is still awake . [ MTV ]

But perhaps my favorite item is that the movie “ will film Christmas scenes in Duplin County , N.C. later this calendar month . ” Iron Man 3 author - music director Shane Black is famous for set half of his eight screenplays around Christmas , admit high - end 80s/90s action schlock Lethal Weapon , The Last Boy Scout , and The Long Kiss Goodnight , plus the keen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang , which is arguably the movie that got Robert Downey , Jr. the Tony Stark role in the first place .

Technically , Marvel Studios still has n’t substantiate that this is their other 2014 project , so experience free to read that in as “ Untitled Marvel Movie . ” Anyway , Marvel Studios has move the release engagement of their 2d 2014 release — the first is Captain America 2 in April — from May 16 to August 1 . While August 1 is still very much summertime picture show territory , it ’s a much easier billet to set in motion a fresh , untried belongings — say , like Guardians of the Galaxy , which is n’t even necessarily all that well known even among risible Bible fans ( I had somehow bring off to never find out about them until the late motion picture rumors , I ’ll admit ) — than the center of May , which is when a ton of other blockbuster are set to be released . This should n’t be engage as confirmation that Guardians of the Galaxy is indeed Marvel ’s other 2014 project — but it for sure does n’t suffer that theory .

As we mentioned a couple of days ago , British play fable Diana Rigg and her real - life history girl Rachel Stirling will appear in an episode in the second half of the approaching seven series . Since then , there ’s been a morsel more information on the episode , which is write by Doctor Who stalwart Mark Gatiss .
Rumored to be called “ The Crimson Horror ” , the episode is reportedly the ninth instalment of the serial publication — not including the Christmas special , which slots in between episodes five and six and introduces Jenna - Louise Coleman ’s new companion . Moreover , the episode reportedly also sport Downton Abbey ’s Brendan Patricks in a treble purpose as Jeremiah and Edmund , and the return of Neve McIntosh ’s prissy Silurian Madame Vastra from “ A Good Man go To War . ” ( Mea culpa here — the British yellow journalism The Daily Star claimed this a calendar month or so back , but I dismissed it moderately much out of hand because the specifics did n’t sound right . ) While McIntosh has n’t been recognise on stage set , Catrin Stewart , who toy Vastra ’s human handmaid , lover , and fellow warrior Jenny , has been spotted in the late set images ( as has Patricks ) , which I ’ve include again up above . at last , Diana Rigg ’s theatrical role is reportedly call Winifred Gillyflower , although her moniker is rumor to be the Ice Lady .

Asim Ahmad , a British - raised theater actor whose past entertainment piece of work include uncredited scrap parts in The Dark Knight and Inception as well as doing some writing for Marvel Comics in the other 00s , is rumored to have been cast as Thoros of Myr , a violent priest of the Lord of Light and fearsome warrior . The character was mentioned in the first time of year ( and actually appeared in the first Bible ) , and consort to one admittedly very secondhand reservoir is a part that “ would postulate [ Ahmad ] to be in 13 episodes . ” Since each Game of Thrones time of year is definitely only ten episodes — it ’s the only way to keep the gargantuan output price even remotely under ascendence — there ’s a band of way to parse that , but the simplest is probably just to say it ’s a number of garbled information and that the key affair is that Ahmad — who has tweetedan acknowledgement of the rumour — seems decently likely to be taking on the role , and it should be a major part in the serial . Of course , it ’s still best to take these things with a grain of salt until we have something more substantial . [ SpoilerTV ]
Joe Manganiello discusses Alcide and Sookie ’s late night of passion in terms that almost make it vocalise as though the show really is going to incorporate champion Anna Paquin ’s tangible - life pregnancy :
