[FlawlessVictory]

Looks like we found our Leslie Thompkins t:

I thought at first that Katie was dropped. Why would she leave BATMAN?!!?

I mean, she expressed in every interview how much enjoyment she got from making Batman Begins, why would she leave the sequel after the first films huge financial and critical success? Why would you want to leave this career role?

He is at the source of all this madness, I can sense it.

 

[Buford The Sly]

I think they should just write that role out of the movie. She was the worst part of BB.

^True that

 

[sasquatchs]

I'm kind of suprised she's back, the character was bolted on last time because of studio. There are loose ends to tidy up though, she can't just disappear, even though she's finished with Bruce

Blunt is one hot joint.

 

[Excel]

blunt is just a rumor cause shes hot right now. shes not up for it.

No offence, Excel, but how do you know that? Enquiring minds...

 

[That-Guy]

God, why can't they just kill the Rachel Dawes character altogether (not literally kill her, just write her out of the story) and bring in a love interest from the comics? It's not like they don't have plenty to choose from.

He's close with Ms. Cleo.

ZOMG, he knows the future!

Better just to not have a love interest, they're a complete waste of time, except for BR. Hopefully they move as far away from cliched formula as possible this time now WB is confident. I can't see the Nolan brothers introducing anything too corny

 

[Octoberist]

she is not even a real love interest anyway. it's not like you go into the movie for Rachel Dawes, right?

I don't think Batman doesn't HAVE to have a love interest. I think that Catwoman or Talia would be ideal, actually.

But if Emily Blunt gets the gig, good for her. She was good as a sassy bi-curious chickin "My Summer of Love". (I feel bad for the other actress in the movie b/c Blunt is moving up FAST in Hollywood)

I always enjoy your comments and you are great poster on the Hype...yet I cannot help but to hate you. Maybe its your avvy.

 

[Octoberist]

I just have common sense. I dont know. I kinda see things from both sides. That's how i am. Thanks Raybia.

I alway see a vicious circle with the fans. And it always happens. It's a facinating character study on some of the people here (if they're serious).

So I say, if Blunt gets it, good for her. The Nolans already wrote the script and they know what they're doing. It's not like Rachel has a big arc with Bruce anyway (unlike Peter and Mary Jane) and pretty much, her arc closed with Begins. For pity's sakes, she wasn't a girlfriend; more like a concern childhood friend (who probably COULD get with Bruce) At this point, they can do whatever they want to do with her.

I agree. When I watch Nolan's other movies compared to BB, you can see that he is somewhat constrainted with it being an origin story, but those previous movies gives us a better sense of what to expect from TDK.

As fanboys, we know that Rachel is not apart of the Batman mythos and they can do anything they want with her character, but the general audience doesn't know that and for them she is part of Bruce's inner circle, so what Nolan is planning could play into his style of moviemaking and be quite shocking and emotional.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

i HATE recasting, but if what those 2 articles said was true that Katie was dropped from TDK, then there has to be a reason as to why she was. and i have complete faith in Nolan, so i am not worried.

anyway, that Blunt chick bares a striking resemblence to Katie. i actually find her more attractive. i have not seen her act, but she did win a Golden Globe and has gotten rave reviews from her past work, so i am not at all worried about this recasting bit. hope she gets the role.

 

[Warhammer]

I hate recasting, but I actually prefer Bridget Moynahan taking over as Rachel Dawes.



Either way, Nolan knows what he's doing.

You know what? i wouldn't be surprise if Blunt is up for a role in Dark Knight, but as someone else either. I mean, there's so much speculation and you have to look back at the casting of Heath Ledger...That came out of no where, and no one thought in was in the running.

When it comes down to casting, it's takes a long time. Honestly, I can bet when Gwenth Paltrow was cast in Iron Man..it didn't just happen last month..maybe she was in talks for since last summer.

Hollywood is a tricky business. I'm an intern right now in LA (can't say where) and sometimes, through PR, you have to do a spin.

I knew a guy who an intern at a seperate studio, and his job was to go though message boards..as a spy. hmmmmm...

expect the unexpected, you know.

 

[Warhammer]

Exactly.

Get her written out, but Nolan has made her part of Bats legacy, and theoretically, it would not make since with her just leaving the city.
