caine and bale Christian Bale & Michael Caine Talk The Dark Knight Rises

While doing a recent round of promotions for his upcoming film The Fighter, Christian Bale was pushed to speak about the upcoming Batman sequel, The Dark Knight Rises. In an interview with E!, Bale said that he believes that this will be the last time he will be playing Batman. A statement which shouldn’t be too surprising. Bale is said to have signed on for just three movies back in 2003. MTV‘s Josh Horowitz, curious about Tom Hardy and the possible set of characters and baddies, asked the Welsh-born actor just how much he does know about the film.

Chris will let me know what I need to know when I need to know it. It’s our fourth movie together, and I probably know a little bit more than maybe some people out there, but I think most people will be surprised by how little I do know. It just hasn’t been necessary yet. I know he’ll give me plenty of time to prepare whatever I need to for it and I’ll discover it. He’s a pretty damn good filmmaker I trust that he’s going to come up with something wonderful.
- Christian Bale

Also speaking about The Dark Knight Rises, Michael Caine told Empire last week that Emma Thomas and Christoper Nolan told him to expect the script in January, to start shooting in May, and to finish shooting in November. Like Bale, Caine doesn’t seem to know much about the details of the plot or characters either, stating Nolan won’t tell him anything. Looks like we’ll just have to wait to find out more.

Interviews from Inception’s World Premiere in London

Posted on Thursday, July 8th, 2010 at 8:51 pm by AlexHaas

The Inception world premiere was earlier today at the Odeon Cinema at Leicester Square in London and some excellent interviews of the (basically the entire) cast are coming down the pipe. If you look closely in the videos, you can see that they didn’t necessarily roll out the red carpet, per se, but an awesome maze carpet that looks like it was taken straight from the Inception title cards in the first two trailers.

The first interview is of Leonardo DiCaprio and is shown below. To view the other interviews, check out the full story version of this article.

Let us know what you think! Comment below. Also: no spoilers in these. Big thanks to isi123 for posting these in the forums!

UPDATE (July 9th): Below is a new mashup video from the world premiere. It’s basically a compilation of all of the cast interviews. Hit up the full story to see those. Oh! And this video, unlike the others, actually has our director, Christopher Nolan.

Inception Character Featurette Now Online

Posted on Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm by George

It sounded more than a little unbelievable when reports came in last night that a new Inception TV spot was taking up an entire commercial break during a re-run of Last Comic Standing on NBC. Today, however, it appears early word was spot-on as the new Inception Character Featurette is now online over at MSN UK. The featurette is two minutes in length and features more new footage and dialog than anything we’ve seen since the third trailer was released in back May. But those avoiding spoilers shouldn’t be too concerned. The aptly titled “Character Featurette” is focused more on introducing the main characters of the film than revealing any new plot information. This featurette should prove to be very effective if it continues to air as an extended TV spot, providing more clarification for viewers than any number of the shorter TV spots could.

Thanks to apw on the forums for the tip!

Inception Footage Screened at ShoWest ’10

Posted on Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 11:39 pm by TeddyBlass

nolan showest gettyimages Inception Footage Screened at ShoWest 10Every March, the Nielsen Film Group puts on an exhibition in Las Vegas for the National Association of Theatre Owners; this event is known as ShoWest. Some of the biggest movie studios in Hollywood attend the event every year, and this year (like most) Warner Bros was there. With Warner Bros. today was writer/director Christopher Nolan and his upcoming film Inception. According to reports, Chris was still very secretive about the plot details while presenting new footage from the film. The presentation amounted to being the length of an extended trailer or so, and it didn’t seem to give any more indication to what exactly Inception is about. In fact, some people claim to be more confused! However, El Guapo from Latino Review seems to have a better understanding of just what exactly Leonardo DiCaprio’s character is doing. “[He] leads a team of security people who go into people’s dreams to ‘guard their subconscious’”. Something he supposedly explains with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character to (Ken Watanabe’s character) Sato.

Journalists at the event claim the footage reveals that there is a lot of action and mind-warping effects shots. Fabulous location footage from Paris and Canada were also revealed, as well as Michael Caine’s and Marion Cotillard’s characters. Just in case you’re trying to keep your mind fresh for when Inception hits theaters on July 16th, we won’t reveal anymore here. But if you want to learn more about what was shown, you can read reports at Latino Review, ComingSoon and CinemaBlend.
