With the shoot 12 weeks away, Christopher Nolan has been talking a little about his forthcoming Batman adventure…
As he collected an award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival over the weekend, Christopher Nolan was inevitably quizzed about the current state of his third Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises.
There was nothing particularly radical about the questions posed to Nolan, although, arguably, there aren't massively radical queries aching to be put forward right now. But, for instance, he was asked where the title of the new Batman film came from, and Nolan joked, "I banged my head against the wall."
He did go on to say, though, "We've worked on it a long time - David Goyer and myself. We're about 12 weeks away from shooting. We start in May." Pressed over whether he was always sure he was going to do the third movie, Nolan said, "It was about finishing the story."
What Nolan wouldn't be drawn on, however, is whether we'll definitely be seeing Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in the new movie. If you remember, the official statement from Warner Bros said that she'd been cast as Selina Kyle, which has led many of us to, not unreasonably, suspect that she would evolve into Catwoman as the film progressed.
When Nolan was asked about it? As Coming Soon reports, "he smiled coyly and wouldn't say a word." (we'd still be stunned if Hathaway wasn't Catwoman, though)
