[Voyeur]

Cool, thanks. I like is response (or lack of) when asked if Batman was going to show more of his detective skills.

 

[Keyser Sushi]

Heh... a little bit of talk is better than none.

 

[Castlewood]

IESB: During “The Prestige”, I asked you that Batman’s always been considered a great detective. Are we going to see that side of the Dark Knight?

(Bale picks up water bottle, starts drinking; laughter in room)

CB: Is that clear enough? (laughter)

IESB: Talk to us about looking forward to working with Heath Ledger as the Joker?

CB: Absolutely, he is a great choice for it. I like it personally. Heath has a really crazy take for playing that role. He’s going to do something really different with it.

 

[IamtheBatman]

We'll get more from him in upcoming months.

I wish the filmmakers would actually throw us a bone now and then, instead of just giving us these morsels. We know about the 2nd unit filming and that a bank heist will be included in the film, but perhaps hint at something more? Something that would encourage theories, but then turn out to be something completely different when the finished product is released.

I know they're keeping the story and what happens under tight security (I would imagine Nolan is just being as coy as J.K. Rowling is and probably just as secretive). It's nice that Bale is giving an inkling as to what possibly will happen, but I want a tiny bit more from him. I wonder if he's actually read the script or if Nolan told him what will happen.

 

[redfirebird2008]

I'm sure he's read it by now.

 

[IamtheBatman]

I'm sure he's read it by now.

Bale must have read the script by now. They already started filming today at the hangars.

 

[Frosty81]

I would love to see a scene of Bale in the cave, going crazy out of frustration over one of the Joker's crime he can't solve.

Nolan??????? t:

Edit.

There is no 2nd unit on these films. Nolan oversees and directs every single shot.

MirandaFox didn't start this thread.......isn't this against the Law?

 

[millennium movies]

Hmmm... did SHH steal the interview from IESB? Look at the first question here:

[Anjow1060]

Awwwwwww shoooo. SHH gettin duuuurty duuurty.

 

[millennium movies]

Look at the question about ledger how they changed it up a little. IESB says "i like it personally" on casting ledger and SHH says "him" instead of "it". They dont credit the site at all and make it seem like SHH interviewed him...

 

[Abaddon]

someone remind me what Ledger sounds like with an American accent

 

[Agentsands77]

CB: Absolutely, he is a great choice for it. I like it personally. Heath has a really crazy take for playing that role. He’s going to do something really different with it.

Doesn't really tell us anything, but it's got my interest up. Definitely sounds exciting. What is this "really different" take on it?

 

[Castlewood]

Anything different from Nicholson is a-okay in my book.

 

[Agentsands77]

Anything different from Nicholson is a-okay in my book.

Oh, agreed. I'm just more interested in the specifics... What voice will Ledger be using, for instance? A "toneless" voice (as the Joker's original appearance described)? Or something wackier?

 

[Darth Nata]

The interviews are the same because they are part of the "round-table" where a bunch of journalists all ask questions.

 

[millennium movies]

Does that involve stealing each other's questions/answers? Journalist always ask their proper questions, its their goal to obtain something the others cant. In this case just look over it its word for word basicly, not to mention IESB was first and SHH credits it as its own...shame

 

[dark_b]

what is bale trainiing for? a mistery?

 

[Boom]

It may just be the wording, but this confuses me:

Bale told the IESB that he has not actually started shooting the Batman sequel as of yet. He says all of the footage shot in Chicago thus far has been sans The Dark Knight.

What?
