Hall Talks "Dark Knight" Shoot

 

Having shaken off his brat pack image thanks to the success of USA Network's hit cable series "The Dead Zone," Anthony Michael Hall has talked about one of his other roles - a supporting turn in the upcoming "Batman Begins" sequel "The Dark Knight."

 

"I signed a confidentiality agreement, and I can't say which part I'm playing because it affects the story...I can't give away the suspense — it's a $200 million surprise, and I don't want to be the guy to ruin it" he tells Daily News. He adds though that "It's really a great role. I'm in throughout the whole movie, and I'm really looking forward to working with Christian [bale] and Morgan [Freeman]."

 

Hall is currently in the midst of shooting the sixth season of "The Dead Zone" and got a long weekend off work the weekend before last to shoot scenes over in London - "I felt like a rock star leaving the set, flying to London, going to shoot on a Saturday, you know? My crew really gave me a gift because they had to all vote union-wise to agree to not take a day's pay to help me out. I felt very honored that they did that for me."

 

The role is more than a one day shoot cameo though, once work on 'Zone' wraps in August he'll rejoin the 'Knight' production - "They're shooting in London, Chicago and Hong Kong. My next dates are in Chicago, the third week of August with Morgan, then I get to go back to London."

 

As for the role? Early talk up at film ick indicates that, of all things, Hall will be potetinally playing a 'Batman wannabe.'

That last line, plus the accompanying picture, makes me think Azrael. I think having that sort of subplot would take away from the Joker, though.

The most impressive thing about it is that Bats will finally be able to turn his head.

[Guest Emperor]

Introducing, the bat cycle....

Machine gun mounted murder cycle? nice. :P

[Whitestar]

Those are machine guns? Batman isn't supposed to use guns! He hates guns! A gun killed his parents!

[Tenshin_Xo]

Didn't every incarnation of the Batmobile have at least some guns? I thought even BatWest had some popup projectiles or missiles or something.

 

I'm also predicting camo suit, ala soldier 2020.

Perhaps, but those were used only to destroy walls, not crazed lunatics.

The rumor today is that Anthony Micheal Hall was cast as Edward Nygma.

[Guest Cadsuane]

IMDB has him listed, but does not state which role he will play.

Grainy, spoilery picture of Heath Ledger on the set, in what I assume is full Joker makeup.

Yeah, this is going to rock my face off.

[Majsju]

Holy sweetness in a can!!!

 

In case you wonder, that translates to "I want to see this movie so [bleep] much that it hurts my soul to have to wait."

Great Link Reyler.... wish there were more video but I will take anything at this point.

[reyler]

It's an effective trailer, though, despite a lack of any real visual. I got fairly hyped up when I heard the Joker laugh, and I've been fairly lukewarm from the start about Heath Ledger in the part. I'm told if you dig around the site, you can find an audio clip of Joker saying "Why so serious?" in a mock-Batman growl.

Joker's Police File

[Cadsuane]

Is anyone else finding that whysoserious.com turns into rent-a-clown??

[Emperor]

Yes it does.  I wonder where they found the file...

[reyler]

That music nearly made my head explode. Hilarious, though.

[Ozhammer]

Does anyone else think that Heath Ledger is one of the most over-rated actors of his generation (and yes, he is an Aussie!)?

I struggle to watch him act, its as painful as a night on your stomach on Brokeback Mountain! He is ordinary! I hope he does the Joker role justice!
