Gary Oldman talks Dark Knight Rises
All the details regarding the latest Batman movie have been kept under wraps but one of the main actors admits to almost misplacing the script. Actor Gary Oldman, who plays commissioner Gordon in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, talked about almost losing the screenplay for the Batman sequel in an interview with the BBC. “I was in a panic for 20 minutes . . . I thought, ‘Where the hell have I put it?’ It had my name on it. They would have killed me.” Fortunately, Oldman found the script in his hotel room later that evening. “I’d gone out for dinner and I had put it in the room between the mattress and the bed because I couldn’t scrunch it into the safe,” he said. “I was half-thinking about something else and shoved it there.”
At a press room at the Jameson Empire Awards in London, Oldman discussed the concerns regarding Tom Hardy’s Bane-voice and how difficult he may be to understand. “It’s obviously different to what I heard on set because they put it through whatever they put it through but I had no trouble understanding him,” he said. As for what should you expect from the last of Nolan’s Batman series, Oldman has nothing but positive things to say. “It’s what you would expect from Nolan. It delivers big time. It’s epic but its not just spectacle.,” Oldman explained.
