This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]361163[/split]
Hardy recalls his conversation with Christopher Nolan about playing Bane…
Hang on a minute. You’re asking me to come round the world with you in a Batman movie, playing a villain, and the only downside to it is I have to wear a mask? Hmmm, let me think. I’ll get back to you… No, I’m ****ing there, man! Anything you need.When asked if Batman will suffer any spinal injuries…
Mmmmm… Good lead-in, but all I can say is that Chris has a plan up his sleeve that’s not at all disappointing. And that is a definite choice that’s watertight in every respect. I think Bane’s ****ing cool so I’m really excited to play him. It’s not the guy in Joel Schumacher’s film, but it shouldn’t disappoint fanboys…On whether he feels any pressure to live up to Heath Ledger’s Joker…
No, none at all. Brilliant actor, brilliant work – that’s it. I’ve got a job to do. It’s the same with Mad Max & Mel Gibson. I’m not here to engage in a competition with their talent. It’s to play the character that I’m given.Hardy on the Bane mask…
Any time you put something over your face, you’re going to adopt a personality and a physicality that has nothing to do with acting. It allows a performance to be free.
"For once I get to play a SFF villain who isn't ridiculously ******ed."
SFF villain?
I don't see that quote in the article. I think Gold Samurai was joking?
Because I think Shinzon was an utter waste of his talent and potential and almost killed his career before it even began.
Nevermind his mental state after the film was released.
Some folks on this site are getting so angry that people think Tom Hardy is short. Hes short. Deal with it. Doesn't mean he wont kick a$$. Doesn't mean the movie won't be great!
Calm down.Thats in response to a chap in the closed section who yelled at me through his words. I'm hurt!
I just had a thought. The riot from the shoot involves a prison breaking at Blackgate, right? What if this is like the comics where Bane breaks down the walls of Arkham to have all the inmates wear down Batman, only (because an Arkham breakout happened in the first movie) it's Blackgate instead?
Well, I agree about Bane. It certainly doesn't look like Batmans having a problem kicking his buttocks in those crowd scenes. Makes me look forward to the Venom scenes more when its just the two of them. Or maybe I have the scenes in the wrong order.No one is talking about boycotting the movie because Tom Hardy is short. I, and many others are concerned over Nolan's seeming dismissal of two of Bane's most identifiable features. I will still be getting my tickets well in advance and will still be seeing this movie. It's possible to have some concerns and still enjoy a movie. (Despite what some seem to think around here.)
(And please do not try to bypass the censor. If "ass" were really censored and you bypassed it like that, you'd be infracted. That particular word is not censored on the Hype.)
