The Dark Knight Alan Dale in TDK - Salvatori Maroni?

[mad-sci]

From BOF:-

A few things today. An Aussie scooper informed BOF that Alan Dale’s role is a small one and is that of a villain...

Couple that with the news of SM's appearance in the sides yesterday, and it looks like Maroni MAY have been cast.

BTW, the Fergie and Gandolfini rumours are just that as well...

We've already had an english Falcone, so why not an australian Maroni? t:

To be fair, some like Gandolfini or anyone from the Sopranos would be VERY cliche. Better to get someone else, no?

 

[Anjow1060]

I'm game for that. He looks rather intimidating, and he can be very evil-ish via 24. Works for me.

 

[batmanbeginsboy]

hahaha. maybe i dunno, it might be a good casting. but that whole Fergie thing pisses me off.

 

[Anjow1060]

Has anyone else noticed that BOF has the ball rolling now? News every day.....Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

 

[jimmy]

I think Tony Soprano is a damn good choice for Maroni.

But, really, I just want SOMEONE from the Sopranos to star in a Batman movie.

Also from BOF:-

Checking with a few “insider friends,” it looks as if there is nothing to the Stacy Ferguson (Thank goodness!) and James Gandolfini rumors as I expected -- although I must admit that I’d love to see Gandofini in TDK...

I don't see Dale as Maroni, maybe he's another Earle type of guy trying to takeover Wayne Enterprises.

Faulkner? Interesting thought. I´m still hoping for Maroni.

To be honest, I didn't expect Wilkinson to be Falcone in BB either. The main casting of TDK is pretty much done, and we've only really heard about Maroni as another minor villain, and no-one else. From those confirmed sides yesterday, the bulk of TDK is gangsters vs. freaks vs. police vs. Batman vs. Vigilants - I just can't see the shift to Wayne Enterprises, and I can't see Dale as a freak (and he's not a good guy either). That leaves just one option...

If so, me like!

 

[Two-Face]

Wilksonson wasn't a fan choice, Dale is seems very Nolan casting as Maroni but I don't see it him as crime boss.

 

[Anjow1060]

Nevermind, he's not Maroni. I think I figured this one out.

Maroni = somewhat decent chunk sized role.
Dale = Small role.

THE MAYOR = Small role.
Mayor = Corrupt = villain.
Dale = Small role.
Small role = Joker offs him at some point.

 

[mad-sci]

I doubt he's the mayor.

The casting sides were offering the role of the 'mayor', which means that role still hasn't been cast.



ALSO, Dale's been rumoured (on and off) to have a role in TDK since last year - you don't cast that far in advance for a small, unimportant role. More likely, it's Maroni.

 

[DieSmiling]

I think it would be hilarious if we spent all this time breaking down who would be Maroni only to not have him appear in the movie at all.

He IS in - confirmed from casting sides yesterday.

But he's in the script that was sent by Miranda.

 

[Anjow1060]

Are u sure the role of the mayor was up for grabs? I figured it was for the caller or the radio announcer guy.

We'll never know now, because Showbiz removed it.

 

[jrd550]

Nolan hasn't set up a superb cast to only have it messed up with Tony Soprano and Fergie.

 

[StorminNorman]

I see Dale as a good successor to Wilkonsons' Falcone. I don't think Maroni will be a big role, after all - it seems that gang pawns are going to play a much larger role (as they should) then the kingpin himself.

- Sidenote -
When does BOF win back its credibility?

I mean if this is correct, which it seems we are assuming, BOF also broke the TDK Title and perhaps the most important news so far: Rory's First Kiss.

Well it's been confirmed that they are not in TDK, you can relax now. lol

 

[Anjow1060]

Amen Norman. And I thought I was the only BOF Supporter over here. Hear hear.

I think now that it's so close to being in production, Jett hears more legit rumblings, rather than the loose ends he usually gets. Don't get me wrong, I <3 Jett big time. Dude does our dirty work. But he gets a lot of shyt over here for reporting things he hears that never pan out. Usually they're legit rumblings, but they never pan out. And for that people want to crucify him. Regardless, I think he'll have his credibility back for the next year and a 1/2 and then when we're aching for BB3 (AKA "Shadow of the Bat" in my book) People will start bashing him again. It's the never ending circle of BOF haters.


Kinda like the French. "We hate you americans! With your "freedom fries" and "love for frogs".........Wait.....the Germans are here! Hello Americans! Come right in!"

Exactly. Jett has plenty of good sources and he's open about posting rumours.

 

[superglowy]

Yeah I like Jett and Batman-on-film. He never pretends that the rumours are anything but rumours and 'Rorys First Kiss' proves that he can deliver the goods as well. I find Batman-on-film is at it's best when it comes to the production stage of the Films. Also a big fan of Latino Review, every major scoop has come from their mouths.

We're just impatient little fans but it's the Internet, It's mean for this sorta thing and just think when 'The Dark Knight' first day is over we get to start the cycle all over again for the Third Movie

 

[Darknightnomis]

Jett nor Batman-on-Film ever lost it's credibility with me, but some poster's on this message boards did when they openly attacked the website the clearly states that all the spoliers they had are to be taken as RUMOR!. Ridiculous.

 

[COMPO]

i reckon he looks a bit like sal in Long Halloween. When we first see him. The little panel. Nut, not after that.
