On his getting the coveted role of The Joker...
"You have to remember I watched those films as a boy and me and my mates used to play Batman in the streets, so I kind of had a knowledge of the characters and the mythos. I’ve wanted to do something that could cement me and after viewing Batman Begins I was interested in working with Nolan. When I was contacted I was not super keen on the idea but after learning about the things they wanted to do I became very interested in The Joker. It’s an actors dream to play an iconic role and The Joker is so far removed from anything I’ve done yet that I am looking forward to it and to the ideas that were presented to me..."
On what kind of Joker character angle can we expect to see...
"Well this is just in the infant stages right now but I receive character data from the writers on an almost weekly basis ; my fax is loaded with profiles on The Joker to give me an idea of what they are going to do. I’ve also been given some of the comic book material to look over and I just become more and more interested as it develops. To play a villain one must throw it all out the window and I have not yet really explored that kind of dark side, which makes me enthusiastic to play him. This role, I am told, will be like watching a car wreck that won’t stop, and from the script pieces I’ve been sent on my character’s angles, its just gets deeper and deeper. This guy is a shark, a fearless shark and I know I can bring that alive..."
On what The Joker will look like...
"That is my question as well, I suppose he will look like me, but I’ve been told that they are still in preliminary stages and I’ve seen no ideas yet. I’ve been told it will be The Joker and that the iconic look will be true, I hope it is..."
On working with Bale...
"Christian is actually in this film I am doing now on Bob Dylan so I’ve met him a few times. He is excited as well and that has galvanized me to do it too, he had a lot to do with them contacting me. Right now we are focused on this film but once we get to Warner it will be all Dark Knight..."
On the fans who don’t like him...
"This kind of things affects me zero. It would not matter who is chosen to play the character in any film, there is always someone who does not like you and I am secure in my choices and my record, and if I must say anything directly to them it is that I am going to do the best possible work I can do as an actor. But I know at the end of the day you are never going to please anyone 100 percent. As an entertainer I chose what I want to do based on where I want to go. I am an actor and it’s my job to do this. But it’s a dream. I am grateful for getting the role and I have to say I will do whatever it takes to make it the best possible product I can."
On the Jack Nicholson’s Joker...
"That was a film I watched with my mates coming up, to say it was not a great film would be an understatement. I loved and was scared of the Joker in that film so it’s very inspiring that I’ll be in those shoes, but at the same time what we are going to have to do is something never done before - that was one of my requirements. I refused to carbon copy a performance, that would not be a challenge and it would be mocking Mr. Nicholson whom I have much respect for..."
On what it will feel like to be an action figure...
"I’ve always thought that would be the point where I really made it, I mean I am an action packed guy so making a toy for me is ok with me mates..."

Sen är dräkterna ,många av dem speciellt designade för just den kortfilmen. Manuset i den där är också jävligt kasst. Synd, för rent visuellt så är det där en välgjord kortfilm.

Aha, lite som Within The Woods dåDead End är rätt välgjord kortfilm och jag själv var helt extatisk när jag såg den första gången för några år sedan. Problemet är "bara" den ofta får alldeles för mycket cred för att vara en "Fan-film" visst är gänget fans men de är "proffessionella" fans,och filmen gjordes som en Promo att visa för filmbolagen, "kolla på oss vad duktiga vi är". Och de spenderade rätt mycket pengar på den där. Om jag inte minns rätt så var budgeten typ 20.000 dollar. Fanfilms brukar ofta ha mycket mindre budgets och vara klart längre än vad Dead End är.

För er som inte vet: Bruce Cambell, Sam Raimi och Rob Tapert gjorde en halvtimmeslång film kallad Within The Woods som de använde för att övertala potentiella investerare och tjäna pengar på för att få ihop budjet till filmen Evil Dead.

Becks23 writes:
Pre-production has started in London on the much anticipated Batman sequel The Dark Knight! We can confirm that most of the Batman Begins crew is back, including director of photography Wally Pfister, production designer Nathan Crowley, costume designer Lindy Hemming and art directors Simon Lamont and Kevin Kavanaugh.
The crew have been working on top-secret designs and storyboards for about two weeks now. Some crew members have been to Chicago for location scouting and they will possibly shoot there next May or June. Other locations in England are still being considerd at this moment, though Liverpool has apparently been crossed off the list for the moment.

Hans Zimmer on The Dark Knight Score
Source: SoundtrackNet
November 2, 2006
SoundtrackNet has posted the third part of its interview with composer Hans Zimmer in which he talks about The Dark Knight:
You mentioned before that you were probably going to be working on The Dark Knight, but it's not certain...
Nothing is ever certain. They haven't even finished the script yet.
Assuming you do it, though, would you be able pull James Newton Howard back in?
Absolutely! I should say we are doing Batman. I wouldn't leave home without him!
In the score to the first film, the main "Batman" theme only shows up towards the end, kind of like a springboard for the second film...
Absolutely, that's the whole idea. It's Batman Begins! There's a whole theme that's written and on purpose not in the movie. We were basically betting that this movie might work out alright and there would be another one, so we wanted the character to develop. He hasn't earned that theme yet!

Eckhart Joining The Dark Knight!
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
February 15, 2007
Aaron Eckhart is in final talks to play Harvey Dent/Two Face in The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. Pictures' sequel to Batman Begins, says The Hollywood Reporter.
In Batman lore, Dent is the district attorney of Gotham City and an ally of Batman. After half his face is disfigured by acid, Dent becomes the insane crime boss known as Two Face. He chooses to do good or evil by flipping a coin. Tommy Lee Jones played the character in 1995's Batman Forever.
"Knight" sees Christopher Nolan back in the director's chair with Christian Bale reprising his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman are also returning. Heath Ledger will play The Joker.
The script was written by Nolan's brother, Jonathan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David Goyer. Producing are Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan.
För er som inte känner till Eckhart http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001173/
Är själv riktigt nöjd med valet.
Verkar även i stort sätt vara klart att Maggie Gyllenhaal ska spela Rachel Dawes istället för Katie Holmes som "hoppat av" eller inte fått förnyat kontrakt.

Batman Villain Two-Face Speaks: Eckhart Reveals 'Dark Knight' Details
Will Two-Face show his bad side in 'The Dark Knight'? Bruce Wayne's frienemy may have said too much.
By Shawn Adler
SANTA MONICA, California — Two-Face may have a horribly scarred visage, but recently confirmed star Aaron Eckhart was all smiles as he discussed his plans for Harvey Dent in "The Dark Knight," Christopher Nolan's sequel to the hit "Batman Begins."
"I am excited. Christopher Nolan is an amazing director," Eckhart told MTV News. "It's another movie that's a dream come true."
Most villains have a hidden alter ego — Harvey Dent sports his in plain view as the twisted and deformed Two-Face, enemy to Batman and terror of Gotham City (see "Aaron Eckhart Likely To Be Batman Frienemy Two-Face In 'Dark Knight'" .
Gotham City's youngest-ever district attorney, Harvey Dent, is permanently scarred when a criminal throws sulfuric acid in his face, resulting in a burn that leaves the entire left side of his body mutilated beyond repair.
Unable to cope with his deformity, Dent's long-repressed anger surfaces, creating a split personality and a battle for his overall instincts. On one side lies the good Harvey Dent, friend to Bruce Wayne. On the other, Two-Face, master criminal and enemy to Batman. Tommy Lee Jones most recently portrayed the villain in 1995's "Batman Forever."
According to Eckhart, it's a dichotomy and depth of character that matches Bruce Wayne's own transformation from millionaire playboy to crime-fighting vigilante (see " 'Dark Knight' Script Picks Up Right Where 'Batman Begins' Left Off" .
"Batman is a complex character, and Two-Face comes a little bit from the same world," Eckhart insisted. "But [at the same time]he's apart from it."
Eckhart reported that the key to playing Two-Face, then, is finding specifically how he mirrors — and where he differs — from the Caped Crusader.
"I'm looking for the tension between the two, the similarities between the two," Eckhart said of his portrayal. "I want to find what's similar to Batman and then find what's opposite to him."
Two-Face flips a coin to decide how he's going to act. But will Eckhart even get the chance? Rumors persist that Eckhart's role as Dent will set him up as the main villain in the series' third installment, with his disfigurement coming toward the end of the second film.
Is Eckhart exclusively Harvey Dent in "The Dark Knight"?
"Yeah," Eckhart said, before reconsidering after a brief pause, "Well, I'm Harvey Dent ... then I go into Harvey Two-Face."
And what of speculation that, in this new installment, it's going to be the Joker (played by Heath Ledger) who scars the eager district attorney?
"I think I'll be killed [if I comment on that] — I'm not even sure I can say as much as I have," Eckhart joked as a wicked, Dent-ian smile broke across his face. "There are snipers looking at me right now!
"I'm looking forward to going to London and Chicago to shoot [the film]," the "Thank You for Smoking" star added.
Fans will have a long time to look forward to Eckhart's portrayal — "The Dark Knight" opens in the summer of 2008.

Det hoppas jag inte. Som att det inte var illa nog att det var Jokern som dödade Bruce Waynes föräldrar i Batman från ´89, måste det bli han som gör så att Harvey Dent blir Two-Face?And what of speculation that, in this new installment, it's going to be the Joker (played by Heath Ledger) who scars the eager district attorney?

Puh! Först trodde jag att han avslöjade att Two-Face kommer dö, men det var ju inte så han menade. Fast jag hoppas att de inte gör som i de tidigare filmerna där flera av skurkarna dog ihjäl på slutet. Skulle föredra att de överlever så att de inte blir helt undanröjda på en gång.

Tycker inte att det är exakt lika farligt. Grunden är ju alltid att få huvudkaraktären rätt och inte ehem f*cka upp dennes motivation eller allmänt ändra historien till något, Burtons ändring gjorde ju i stortsätt det till en ren hämdgrej på slutet. Batman hatar Jokern redan på grund av att den ena är, även om han har fladdermusdräkt och fascist tendensen,så är han den som står för ordning och att lyda lagen etc,medan Jokern är motpolen, total kaos, och dödar för skojs skull. Det räcker, Burtons ändring var extremt Hollywood från en man som oftast beskrivs för att vara "lite annorlunda än de där Hollywood snubbarna". Men ja, i allafall, jag skulle acceptera att Jokern var inblandad i att Harvey Dent skulle bli ärrad, tycker inte att det skulle förstöra vem Harvey är eller var,eller blir.

I love Christian Bale what an actor. I have interactions with both Heath Ledger and Christian Bale and I am a bad guy. It was thanks to HEROES that I started to get this new found appreciation for the comic book genre".

Och det snacket om Jokern här tidigare. Jokern är inte menad att se "fejk" ut. Cesar Romero såg ut som Cesar Romero med buttericks smink,medan Nicholson såg ut som Nicholson med lite dyrare smink. Jag själv gissar på att de ska köra med Lee Bermejo looken, mer i still med den fejk-photoshop bilden jag postade tidigare.
Och så har WB lagt upp hemsidan. Fast inget annat än loggan/bat signalen finns där.
