The Dark Knight Oldman thinking about retirement

[Majick Ninja]

I don't completely believe him. I think his director friend is right, he won't actually do it(retire).

 

[Yurka]

I don't disagree that it was the worst part. I just don't think it ruined the film.

Oh, and the hilarious thing about the SW Prequels is, all of the actors are actually good when they're not in SW.

I never said she ruined the film, I said she nearly ruined it.
and thats true, all except Hayden that is.

 

[sasquatchs]

She's had some good performances, Pieces of April is one. She was just wrong for this role, too naive. Actually, she played a pretty crafty journalist in Thankyou for Smoking so I don't know what she was playing at, she couldn't make a badly written role work

 

[kedrell]

Oh great, first Gene Wilder goes into retirement, then Sean Connery and now Gary Oldman. Who's next, Burt Reyolds?!?!?

You forgot Paul Newman.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Ah, it's been a long ride Oldman. Wish you well on the retirement.












...just don't leave until Nolan's finished with this franchise, eh?

Amen.

 

[DSET]

Hold on
is Garys retirement for sure?
if it is
anybody think they will retire him in the movie\or kill him \or have him replaced or something?


Damnit Oldman!
we need you to stay around for a third film

 

[the_monk]

This is terrible news! He needs to keep acting and live forever...what a loss it will be when that man retires.

Okay, the man deserves his rest. Just not until I can cast him in my magnum opus! (which has already been written, Gary! )

 

[Chucktallica101]

agreed. and great, true actors tend to retire, unfortunately. They have a real feel for when they ought to walk away. It's the attention ****es who keep coming back to the screen over and over, way past their welcome.

This couldn't be said any other way. Oldman would go out on top as the BEST Jim Gordon...ever.

And any respectable actor would always show up for the third act.

 

[Darknightnomis]

That's too bad for us who enjoy his acting abilities, as James Gordan and others. But good for him if he just ain't feeling the acting bug anymore. It's best to go out on top.

He's done more than enough work to show he always brought quality to his craft.

 

[Mr. Socko]

He's way too young to quit acting. Look at Christopher Lee.

 

[Mr. Socko]

On another note, it's a damn good thing his character is killed in this Harry Potter movie!

 

[chamber-music]

Retire. As Sir Micheal Caine says "NEVA"

 

[Damiean Dark]

I hate actors who say this. its not as if he works 9-5 5 days a week in a backbreaking job he has the luxury of sitting back in his mansion with his pick of scripts he can act whenever an interesting film comes along actors never really "retire".

 

[Silver Souper]

I really hope he stays for one more batman and then retires

word is he's signed for 3 bat-pics. i've yet to see someone cite it and I'm still waiting

i get what you're saying but you have to remember there's a lot more than just the time spent on set- shooting often involves odd hours, living in a foreign location and things like that which can really strain a family's schedule. he's looking after his kids and doesn't have a wife to share that duty so he probably has to be even more available than the average dad.

my hope is- at LEAST finish the trilogy with nolan, hit a homerun with one more villain role and then retire while on top

Moving from job to job, no real career stability, spending extendended periods of time away from home and family, working very irregular hours...it's very cushy indeed. It's not ditchdigging, but it can still be very hard on a person.


EDIT: Silver Souper beat me to it.

t: that rarely happens. usually i'm about the 7th person to make a point

 

[scifiwolf]

I can usually get in a point first, but I find it goes ignored most of the time.

it's been way more hectic around here since the harvey dent and joker websites went up. conversations are hard to have because threads have what feels like 100 people all posting at the same time.

that's why lots of us "senior" hypers have pulled back a little.

Oh sweet, I didnt know that

 

[Two-Face]

I hope he does Batman 3 then retire.

 

[Conebone69]

Yeah I agree

Connery retired. And I'm so shocked you have such a insight on the film industry. I mean you completley disregard the fact that actors have to audition, and even at his level he does, photoshoots, interviews, character research, not to mention Oldman has spoken about wanting to write and direct. And I haven't even scratched the surface of what they actually have to do.

Damien, you have the worst way of expressing dissapointment at things.

 

[The Bat]

Well...We know We've got Him at least until Batman 3...I think They ALL signed a 3 Picture deal.t:
