One or two new bits of info about The Dark Knight Rises have appeared, including a bit of chat about the ending. No spoilers, though...
There’s not too long to go now on the shoot of Christopher Nolan’s third and final Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. And just a few days ago, Gary Oldman, whilst doing the promotional rounds for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, affirmed the lengths that were gone to in order to keep the ending of the film a surprise.
That secrecy has also been confirmed by Frederick Z Roche, a boom operator on the film, and also a man with an active Twitter account. On that account, he’s been slipping out one or two details of The Dark Knight Rises, too, with the most interesting Tweet reading thus:
“#thedarkknightrises technical info: The ending sequence is soo secret that only 5 (Includ Nolan) know it and will be done completely in vfx.”
Appreciating that there are umpteen things that could be read into a single Tweet, there’s nonetheless something quite interesting about the VFX comment. After all, the Nolan Batman films have tempered their use of CG wherever possible, although that’s not always the same thing as VFX.
It’s being interpreted in some places as suggesting that Nolan is using CG for his finale, though, but we’d argue that even if he is, the man has surely proven over the past decade that he knows exactly what he’s doing.
Roche has also revealed that the shoot of the film has moved onto interior scenes (which explains the sudden lack of set photos appearing online!), with the batcave sequences being shot at MGM Studios in Los Angeles.
