A few months back the rumor mill started buzzing that Bob Hoskins had been approached to play the iconic character of the Penguin in the highly anticipated sequel to Batman Begins.

Then we heard the Phillip Seymour Hoffman had also been approached but that he had turned down the role. According to Chris Nolan, there was no truth to the Hoffman rumor, but what about Hoskins?

The IESB had the opportunity to ask one very brief question to Bob Hoskins during the premiere of Hollywoodland so we decided that this was a rumor we needed to find out about.

Has Bob Hoskins been approached to play the Penguin or not?

In a nutshell, no he has not, would he like to? Yes he would.

Actually, it appears as if the question caught him by surprise but he did say that he would love to.


Ubecool. I can definately see this.

 

[Bathead]

Nah, Paul Williams should do it. Hoskins is too tall.

 

[Fenrir]

Some guy called MJZ said that the Penguin isn't even in the film.

 

[Two-Face]

I been supporting Bob Hoskins as Penguin since I can remember


HOSKINS DAMMIT!

 

[Stringer]

Well then they need to cast him.

 

[Bathead]

So far, Penguin is only a rumor anyway.

 

[NOFX]

Some guy called MJZ said that the Penguin isn't even in the film.

Oh he said that? I take everything MJZ says to the bank!!!

 

[Cinemaman]

Great news!

I thought he had no interest to this role, but now I see the thruth.

 

[union_jak]

If he wants the role give it to him!!

 

[The Only Woj]

he wants it, doesn't mean Chris wants him for it. doesn't even mean he's in the film since the script isnt set in stone.

however ... Hoskins damnit!

 

[fabman]

if the penguin's in the dark knight...

HOSKINS DAMMIT!!!!!!

Go play wit' ya lil' Oscar P.S. Hoffman, no place for you...

 

[Excel]

hoskins was great in hollywoodland, so...

 

[Eros]

well hoskins wants the role[ as nobody else wants it] so they should give it to him. Not everyone wants to ruin their serous career with superhero movies, but hoskins has hope for the movie.

 

[lordofthenerds]

I've got a feeling that Penguin won't be in this movie, since it appears that neither of the rumored actors were really approached.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I'd like to see him take on the role.

Mario for the Penguin!

 

[moonraker]

HE'd be an excellent Penguin!

 

[Two-Face]

Not everyone wants to ruin their serous career with superhero movies.

What the hell is that mean?

Making a superhero movie is only bad for your career if the movie sucks - coughHalleBerryasCatwomancough.

Hoskins has done Roger Rabit and Super Mario Bros. So I don't see why he'd think he'd be above Batman.

hence why i think he should get the role, he has done siller roles then turned out very good[ save for mario brothers]. Hoskins actually wants the role, as opposed to people being offered the role, he actulaly wants it.

i like him better than hoffman now!
hoskins dammit!
