The Dark Knight The James Gordon / Gary Oldman Thread

[Man on Fire]

Gary oldman best choice for jim gordon no one could of done better

 

[metkalfe]

He's one actor/character in TDK I dont wonna be wasted. But I enjoy him better in Harry Potter,Dracula,Harvey Oswald on JFK and Air Force One may be cheesy but Oldman rocks in that one. My brother always does his imitation of Oldman as Ivan Koshanov.

 

[Mr. LOL]

Gary Oldman is a LEGEND.

 

[Mr. LOL]

What is this from?

Utterly creepy ...

 

[Retroman]

A new interview in The Telegraph:-

Nice, that he feels so connected to the Gordon character. On a side note i must say that it's strange that he's never been nominated for an Oscar.

We were talking about that the other day. All the classic and possibly cult movies he's been in and NOTHING.

He is the Susan Lucci of film. It used to be Scorsese, now its Oldman.

1979 television series based on Steven King novel.

i liked his performance in True Romance

"Y'know what we got here? Mother****in' Charlie Bronson. Mr. Majestyk." - Drexl Spivey

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

And some people doubted Oldman could play Gordon...

really??

if i remember corectly, everyone was praising him

 

[StorminNorman]

Oldman would of made a perfect Zaphod Beeblebrox in his day. Perfect

 

[Borland]

At least he doesnt think he is Spartacus...

 

[Figs]

Oldman would of made a perfect Zaphod Beeblebrox in his day. Perfect

Yeah, I could totally see him in that role. I wonder how much screen time he is going to have in The Dark Knight.

"He must've thought it was White Boy Day. Is it White Boy Day?"
"Nah, man, it aien't White Boy Day."

maybe this is a good thing

Gary Oldman as Jim gordan is some of the best spot-on casting in comicbook movie history. He looked like he walked right out of Frank Miller's "Year one".

Plus the gave the greatest quote about Batman when he was asked why Batman is so popular with people for so many decades in pop culture.

He said: "Because he not from another planet. He wasn't biten by a radioactive spider and he's not a mutant".

I Love that qoute.

1979 television series based on Steven King novel.

Hey look. It's Jared 'Blade II' Nomak

 

[Figs]

maybe this is a good thing

Yeah, I wouldn't want him to win an award with the possibility of him getting lazy with his acting after that. It seems to happen with a number of actors. That or they for some reason start picking horrible roles. I like Oldman where he is, an underated chameleon.

 

[Nepenthes]

Hey look. It's Jared 'Blade II' Nomak

both of them are rip offs of this guy...

who is a cheap imitation of this gentleman here......

Yes! Gary Oldman is amazing. He's over the top when the movie calls for it and understated when it's necessary.

Hard to believe he's responsible for this quote (IMDB):

"Any actor who tells you that they have become the people they play, unless they're clearly diagnosed as a schizophrenic, is bull*****ting you."

You'd think he totally subscribed to that idea based on his roles. Must just be God-given ability I guess.

 

[Caliber]

Hes a great actor and is perfect for the role of Gordon. Hes done a great job in all of his films.

 

[Retroman]

We were talking about that the other day. All the classic and possibly cult movies he's been in and NOTHING.

He is the Susan Lucci of film. It used to be Scorsese, now its Oldman.

Or Peter O'Toole....but at least those guys were nominated. Oldman has never even gotten a nomination.

maybe this is a good thing

Everyone wants respect especially from their peers.

 

[Cowleen]

Seriously, how many of those things does Tom Hanks have and he never even fake-overdosed.
