The Dark Knight Freeman talks Lucius Fox

[ultimatefan]

From the main page: "this time Lucius figures more in the plot". Sounds great, he was one of the first movie´s highlights.

yawn...this really isn't news.

 

[Milu]

More Freeman =

 

[Bishop]

hmm. didnt he say he didnt have to do much?

 

[Rezzo]

yawn...this really isn't news.

It´s not exactly thrilling news, but it´s news nonetheless.

 

[ultimatefan]

Don´t blame the messenger, it´s on the front page.

Yes he did... so this is interesting... I mean he does figure into the plot with Lau and Reese, but don't go expecting it is much beyond that.... At least not yet... based on how little screen time he indicated he was on the set, etc. from that previous interview... not sure how he could be inolved in anything else.

who are lau and reese?

 

[MagicPrime]

He wasn't even in Batman Begins all that much. He's a supporting character that doesn't need much screen time to do what he needs for the plot.

 

[JStorm]

Here's to Batman having his own "Q."

It wasn´t exactly what he said, if I remember, he said it was one of those Hollywood situations where an actor is paid a ton of money for a movie he has comparatively little to do with. Freeman is playing a small supporting role, but doesn´t mean he´s irrelevant.

That's precisely what I was about to say shouldn't happen. Bruce had it way too easy in Begins. Really don't want Fox back down in Applied Sciences, would be more interesting for him to deal with the business/society side of things

Casino Royale was far better off without one and I think Batman would be too

We really don't know which way Nolan will use Freeman.

I hope Freeman is not a "Q," and that he is more of the Lucius of the comics, or TAS.

Or maybe we are all off, and he will simply run Wayne Enterprises. That, in itself, is a decent role. Someone does need to do the "day to day."

I saw the first quote, and knew you'd chime in, old sport. Agreed, btw. Bruce is an extremely intelligent man, and excellent engineer - master of all trades in the comics. He should be able to design his own suits and wepaons, and build his own Batmobile, without the need of a 'Q' figure. That said, I did enjoy the light relief Freeman provided in Begins (and that's all it was, people).

Well, that spoiled the movie for me, WAY TO GO!!!!

Spoiler

j/k, I was spoiled a long time ago

Ha, I do have a bit of a thing about Fox and Bruce's lack of motivation. There are definitely interesting new places Fox can go, but he has served his current (small) purpose, time to take the training wheels off Brucey.

We already know Bruce asks Fox to make the new suit though

Freeman says Fox figures more into the plot.

C'mon, does this really need a new thread?

Batman: "Lucius, can you help me with my homework? This crime scene is too hard."
Lucius: "Aren't you suppose to be highly intelligent?"
Batman: "I didn't think to create a bat-tutor, for my belt."
Lucius: "You just said "bat-tutor."
Batman: "I am the opposite of day."
Lucius: "You mean night."
Batman: "See! I really need your help."
Lucius: "I guess those years of training can't make up for an Ivy education."
Batman: "I'm tellin' mom!"
Lucius: "Daniel Craig could kick you ass."
Batman: What's an ass?"

Yes.

I also need to open a thread because Christian Bale said "hi".

Morgan Freeman gets what he wants.

Like Thailand? Egypt? New Zealand?
Oh, right, character-wise. I know! Lucius adopts a new kitten... with hilarious consequences.

 

[sasquatchs]

It's quite possibly Fox that goes to Hong Kong t:

So it looks like he's in 2 plots, Dent's Maroni prosecution involving Lau, and the identity issue with Reese. Neither of which we know much about but they sound pretty novel.

Freeman was the best actor in BB for me. an easy understated performance, not forced and he had none of the corny pretentious dialoige Bale and Caine where forced to spew. i didnt like the fact he was a glorified Q making Bat gadgets but more from him in a more corporate man role in TDK will be very welcome.

I think Bale, Caine, and Neeson pulled off their pretentious dialogue b/c they are great actors.

Holmes however, came off as a self-righteous beeyatch b/c she didn't have the same acting skill and her dialogue seemed very forced.

Didn't you get the memo?
