The Dark Knight New Interview With Michael Jai White

[The Denialist]

White talks a bit about his role in the film, and also confirms something mentioned in both the RT and AICN reviews.

Cool.

MJW is so "on the money" about the movie makers NOW getting the super hero movies right (for the most part).

 

[batman44]

Nice.

I like hearing him talk about Spawn.

 

[Yurka]

This is strange, he claims he is the one who gets the "Why So Serious?", but a few months ago another actor claimed it was him, maybe it happens twice?

Now that you mentioned it, that is strange

 

[hegele]

who was the other actor?

He seems really down to earth. I would love to see a new Spawn with him, i for one love Spawn ( the comic). i loved him and Jon L. as Clown, but other than those performances the film wasn't very good. I would love to see a new film that was much, much darker with a noir tone that had Sam & Twitch.

Great read! Cannot wait!

His name is Winston Ellis and he plays Gator o) Gamble's bodyguard.

"Winston Ellis (Gator) Speaks on Heath Ledger's death and also reveals he's the person the Joker grabs his face and says "Why So Serious".

Where exactly in that interview does he say anything about being the one The Joker says why so serious too?

Thats weird, it was just there, they must have edited it out.It was something along the lines of "he says Why So Serious?" and describes it as something his father did to him."

 

[The Denialist]

It appears that they removed that part of the interview.

It appears that they removed that part of the interview.

........the ****

 

[Schlosser85]

heh, at least now I know I wasn't just reading the interview over and over and somehow missing that whole part.

Now that all of the interviews are hitting the web, the conflicting information might be done on purpose...........

 

[Bat-Mite]

I would love to see MJW as Spawn again, especially in a Spawn film where there aren't any limits. I agree with him that the PG-13 rating on Spawn was one of its biggest problems. A live action version of Spawn that's as gritty and dark as the great HBO animated series was could be perfect if they pulled it off right.

 

[terry78]

Looks like he spilled the beans on that line. And WB doesn't want it revealed yet.

 

[Lauryn2000]

Good find.....and he's right "They are finally starting to get it right.".....would love to see him as The Black Panther (Marvel)......wish....

Nice article, and no dice on him playing Black Panther, Snipes has been connected to that since the early to mid 90's!

Connected or Contracted?
Because Johnny Depp was "connected" to Speed Racer and Tom Cruise was "connected" to Iron Man.

I say, that boat has sailed and Mr. White should have a shot at it.

 

[Nightwatcher11]

damn... a new spawn... like hellboy/pans labyrinth, that kind of visual style would be off the f-ing hook. Man I loved spawn as a kid. He really needs a kick ass return.

totally agreed my friend!

Pretty good interview. I hope he does another Spawn (remake or sequel). He was good in the first one. I wonder if he has a fight scene in this movie, given his martial arts background, with either The Joker, Two-Face or Batman.
