Anthony Michael Hall can hardly wait for the ban to be lifted on discussing "The Dark Knight" plot and his mysterious role in the hugely anticipated "Batman" flick which, as he told us a year ago, he's legally prohibited to do having signed a confidentiality agreement. However, "I can tell you this: It's the biggest movie of my career. I can't wait for people to see it," says the actor who rose to fame as a Brat Pack teen movie star, put in six seasons starring in "The Dead Zone" and plays a cult member who masterminds an airline hijacking in this Saturday's (5/24) "Final Approach" thriller on the Hallmark Channel.
He says making the July 18 release feature was an experience of a lifetime.
"Basically, we shot in Chicago and London. Heath Ledger, who obviously isn't with us, sad to say, did a great job. He plays the Joker. I worked with him and with Christian Bale a lot. I had the most fun with Gary Oldman. I really was honored to work with Gary and to spend some time with him. We have a lot of mutual friends. We would joke and talk about everything but show business." As far as filmmaker Chris Nolan goes, Hall feels, "He did a great job reinventing this Batman franchise by making it darker. I think the consensus of the previous films was that the franchise had gotten out of control, that it was a little bit goofy and over the top, especially in the Joel Schumacher versions. But what Chris Nolan did was brilliant. He started by hiring Christian Bale, a British actor who, by the way, according to Chris, was the first actor through the door. Then surrounded him with other great actors and I just feel so honored to be considered worthy to be part of the company."
