A couple of days ago CBM posted two fantastic interviews from
ScreenRush.co.uk with the Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway, discussing their work on Christopher Nolan's final Batman installment. Ever since the release of these two articles, the marketing department of Warner Bros. has been trying their level best to keep them off the web. So with that said... I wish you full enjoyment reading!
Sorry! CBM got a legal notice to take this down. So we have to comply. But you can see the bulletpoints of what was here under the censorfish.
There really wasn't much to get excited about. Here are the bulletpoints...
-Anne Hathaway was happy to be able to finally talk about the movie, then proceeded to not have much to tell because things are "still under wraps".
-She was asked about her reaction to the catsuit photo going online and said that it was "overwhelming".
-When asked about the other women who played Catwoman and she said it was an honor to be among them, blah, blah, blah. She says she didn't want to use any of them as inspiration since they all had their own take.
-Even though her big break was in
The Princess diaries, as a child she had always wanted to be Catwoman rather than a princess.
-She comments again on how everything is so secretive and relates how she wasn't given a script to take home and had to read it in a locked room, etc. Stuff we've heard before.
-She says that the role is very physically challenging. She had thought she was pretty fit (as a vegetarian) but this was a whole new level. She applauds her stuntwoman.
-She says that the IMAX cameras are noisy like a cappuccino machine, but it helped her concentrate during the fight scenes.
-When asked if this movie is important for his career, she responds that it's really Christian's movie and that she hasn't given that question much thought.
-She forgets the style of martial arts she's doing in the movie, but says there is a lot of kicking going on--all in heels.
-When told she is Nolan's first female action heroine, she is suprised and "a little nauseous" but privileged.
Christian Bale's interview went like this...
-When asked about shooting in IMAX, Christian says that while "bloody noisy" its also a "lovely piece of machinery" that makes the audience feel like they're in it.
-When asked if there was any doubt about making another Batman movie, Bale says he knew it would happen because he signed a 3 movie contract and he didn't want to be sued up the ying yang and be left penniless.
-Bale says he will miss playing Batman after this--even wearing the suit is just too "f*cking cool".
-He's asked a couple questions he refuses to answer about Bruce's relationship with Selena Kyle.
-When asked if this movie truly ends with the trilogy, he says that he doesn't really know but is just doing what Nolan tells him to because he really has a handle on where this is going to end up. But that HE feels its the right time to wrap it up.
-Bale confirms that Batman's drive is still fueled by his parent's death, but that he realizes that he's sacrificed a lot of his life to it and that he's going to have to relearn to enjoy life.
-Bale says he's impressed with Tom Hardy (BANE) who is a facinating actor who is "gleeful" coming to work every day.
-When asked about their fight scenes, he gives the standard answer about following the fantastic stunt guys instructions and trying to tell a story in the fight so it won't get dull.
Be sure to visit ScreenRush since this is their interview and they had to take it down or risk being sued. More than likely, that is the last set visit they will get on any Warner Bros. project. Welcome to the pariah club guys!
The Dark Knight Rises is set for release on July 20, 2012.
