At an industry event last night for the upcoming release of his film Inception on Blu-ray and DVD, Nolan addressed the latest rumors about the return of the late Heath Ledger's Joker and also confirmed that Tom Hardy will be in the highly anticipated movie. Here's an excerpt from the report over at indieWIRE:
But he wouldn’t say what the story’s about or who the villain is, other than to confirm that Inception’s Tom Hardy will play "a key role, not saying good or bad," and to shoot down reports that he’ll resurrect The Joker by including unused footage of Heath Ledger’s performance in the previous chapter. "That’s all wrong," said the writer-director.
I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm guessing that Christopher Nolan must loathe the rumor mill because he seems to spend most of his time clearing up the mostly nonsensical rumours that start circulating online!
The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released on July 30, 2012!
