Whatever you do, don't ask Cillian Murphy about The Dark Knight Rises reports GQ. "I don't have anything to say," dodged the two-time Batman and Inception star, a slight smirk visible between sips of sparkling water. Now maybe I'm reading too much into this but generally when actors are not involved in a project, there more than happy to squash rumors. Plus, the smirk almost says, "I know something but I'm not telling." Perhaps The Scarecrow will have a similar appearance in The Dark Knight Rises to his cameo in the previous Batman film. The actor did go on to discuss Christopher Nolan and internet spoilers.
Working with Christopher Nolan on the Dark Knight films, do internet leaks from the set bother you?
No, it's a shame that people need to do that but it's never harmed any of Chris's other movies in the past - they've all gone on to make about a billion dollars! The purity of seeing a film without knowing what's going to happen is something we should hang on to.
Batman Begins is a 2005 superhero action film based on the fictional DC Comics character Batman, directed by Christopher Nolan. It stars Christian Bale as Batman, along with Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Morgan Freeman, Ken Watanabe, Tom Wilkinson, and Rutger Hauer. The film reboots the Batman film series, telling the origin story of the character and begins with Bruce Wayne's initial fear of bats, the death of his parents, and his journey to becoming Batman. It draws inspiration from classic comic book storylines such as The Man Who Falls, Batman: Year One, and Batman: The Long Halloween.
In 2005, Cillian Murphy won wider recognition, first for two high-profile villain roles: Dr. Jonathan Crane in Batman Begins, and Jackson Rippner in the thriller Red Eye. Originally asked to audition for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Begins, Murphy never saw himself as having the right physique for the superhero, but leapt at the chance to connect with director Christopher Nolan. Though the lead went to Christian Bale, Nolan was so impressed with Murphy that he gave him the supporting role of Dr. Crane, whose alter ego is supervillain Scarecrow. Nolan told Spin, "He has the most extraordinary eyes, and I kept trying to invent excuses for him to take his glasses off in close-ups."
