Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Good news everybody! No, the economy is still in the proverbial crapper and men are still trying to rock skinny jeans. BUT the audio problems in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ have been fixed!
A rework has been done after a test audience and fans who have heard the garbled voice of Bane in the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series highlighted the fact that Tom Hardy sounded like a German Darth Vader trapped in a Pacman machine.
‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is currently in Pittsburg filming. A few teaser pics hit showing off the Batmobile. Ok, so technically it’s not the Batmobile, but a Rocket Launcher Tumbler, but you get the idea.
A few blurry photos of Christina Bale as Batman and Tom Hardy as Bane can also be seen below. The two have a fight scene in the streets that involve a mob of people.
Marion Cotillard has been cast alongside a few of her ‘Inception’ co-stars in the third Batman film. We first learned that Tom Hardy would be portraying Bane, the super intelligent/strong villain. Next Anne Hathaway scored the much sought after Catwoman role. Joseph Gordon Levitt was then revealed to have joined the cast as The Holiday Killer. He was also rumored to be attached to the role of The Riddler, but both notions were wrong.
The official cast for the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman’ series is finally taking shape. Another name has been added to the list of villains the superhero will take on in the third Batman film, ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’
Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine have been locked down while the rest of the ensemble has seen every rumor from Eddie Murphy being given the role of The Riddler to Angelina Jolie as Catwoman.
As Nolan finalizes the script, casting for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ has finally gotten serious. Joseph Gordon Levitt has officially joined the lineup after he was rumored to be auditioning and a serious contender. IMBD had him listed as a credited cast several months ago before removing his name from the lineup.
Levitt has returned to the list and is said to have nabbed the role of Alberto Falcone aka The Holiday Killer. Initial rumors attached him to the role of The Riddler, but soon changed direction and rumbled that he would be Robin. I recalled Nolan promising that Robin would not make an appearance in his Batman reboots. So that one was obviously a miss, but according to Variety, Joseph will be portraying mafia boss Carmine Falcone’s outcast son. The character in the comic books targets Gotham City criminals and murders them on holidays.
Anne Hathaway was given the coveted role of Catwoman, but Marion Cotillard’s name is also attached to the project as a rumored new love interest. If Marion does join the film, it would reunite 3 members of Nolan’s other box office hit, ‘Inception.’ Tom Hardy was the first to join Bale, Oldman, Freeman and Caine. The teenage model turned actor was announced to be playing Bane. According to IMBD’s character description, he is one of Batman’s “most deadly and powerful foes” who boasts strength and a high IQ. He is also one of the very few villains who figures out the caped crusader’s real identity. (If you saw the 1997 franchise film…he was Poison Ivy’s henchman.)
With the news of Levitt joining the film, another casting rumor is thrown into the mix. Juno Temple is said to be up for a supporting role as a “street-smart Gotham girl.”
Mah new boo is not out of the Batman casting race just yet. Rumors were heavy with the insistence that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was thisclose‘ to nabbing the ‘Dark Knight Rises‘ villain role. Tom Hardy swooped in and won the prize as Batman’s new foe, Bane. Anne Hathaway will also play siren/villainess, Catwoman. Christopher Nolan also stated that The Riddler would not be one of comic book based bad guys.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be in the third installment of Nolan’s Batman films. Deadline is reporting that source-types are adamant that Levitt will be in the film.
“Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to reunite with his Inception director Christopher Nolan in The Dark Knight Rises for Warner Bros. I’m not sure what role he’ll play, but I’m told that he will be in the movie when Nolan starts production this spring.”
Based on the fact two antagonists have been cast, Nolan’s Riddler rule out and Robin no-go, I think he will be a good guy of some kind. Thoughts?

More casting rumors for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ hath cometh. The Hollywood Reporter squeals that female leads are finally being ironed out. A slew of A-list actresses are after a role in the next Batman installment.
Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel (ew, no thanks) are all doing screen tests in the coming weeks. A few up-and-comers are also in the running. Kate Mara, Charlotte Riley and Gemma Arterton will also be testing.
The key here is that there might be room for more than one woman on set. Rumor has it that a love interest and female villain are in the works…
“Dark Knight Rises needs to fill two big female roles, a villain and a love interest. Sources say one character is Talia, the daughter of villain Ra’s Al Ghul, who was portrayed by Liam Neeson in Nolan’s first Gotham-set crime pic Batman Begins. In the comic books, Talia is both Batman’s lover and antagonist, ultimately siring his alter ego Bruce Wayne’s son.”
Charlotte is engaged to Tom Hardy who is already slated for an unspecified role in the third Batman flick. Perhaps she might have some leverage. It is also noted that Gemma has been casted to star in ‘Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters’ and may face schedule conflicts that could knock her out of the contender lineup.
We should have some concrete casting news soon. Filming is due to start in May.
I am pretty sure that only Jesus and Harry Potter (awesome tag team) could save Lindsay Lohan from drinking until her plasma is 90 proof and snorting anything she can fit through a rolled up $5 bill. I mean this is the girl who managed to violate her probation in rehab.
Regardless, Lindsay has been reportedly taken under the wing of new hotness/’Inception’ star, Tom Hardy.
“TMZ has learned LiLo has struck a friendship with Hardy recently after the pair were introduced by mutual friends. We’re told they even met for dinner one night last week. Sources tell us Tom is giving Lindsay advice on how to stay sober and Lindsay is seriously listening to him. Hardy famously battled addiction early on in his career and has been sober since 2003.”
Sorry Linds. There aren’t enough Gandhi quotes in the world that will ever convince me she doesn’t run out of vodka/tequila/whiskey/scotch and eye a bottle of Tilex with curiosity. (We’ve all been there.)

‘Inception‘ star, Tom Hardy, isn’t afraid to admit that he dabbled in diddling other men.
In an interview with Now Magazine (via Daily Mail) Tom, who is currently engaged to Charlotte Riley, talks about his days experimenting with other men. Hardy was asked point blank if he had sex with other men to which he replied:
“As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for f**k’s sake. I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.
A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don’t feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine. I’d love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I’m not one of the boys.”
I love that we are embracing the slut thing in Hollywood. Gerard Butler is looking for a new VP now that Sienna Miller is on ho-leave with Jude Law. I also find it disturbingly interesting that he found the question dumb on the basis that he is an “an actor for f**k’s sake” thusly implying that playing with other people’s genitals is just part of the job.
