"Rumor," the actor bluntly stated when asked by Collider about the recent talk that he's joined the cast of Jaume Collet-Sera's live action adaptation of the well-known manga/anime. They’ve approached me, we’ve talked about it, nothing has been confirmed." Oldman then went on to discuss the difficulties of filming with IMAX cameras on the highly anticipated third Batman movie from director Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight Rises, revealing that more of the movie was filmed with the cameras than we realised: "Yeah quite a fair bit, actually. It’s the last one, the third one in the trilogy. It’s a great story, it’s gonna be pretty epic." Check out his thoughts on the scenes filmed with the cameras below.
"Well we shot, obviously Wally Pfister [the director of photography] and Chris [Nolan] shoot film. The IMAX camera, it’s a strange thing. There’s only so much film that you can put through the gate, you get two takes from a roll I guess. The thing is, it’s very loud. It’s a very noisy piece of equipment and it’s quite cumbersome, it’s quite a large—you don’t hold an IMAX camera, I mean you can steadicam it. But of course you have to loop, you have to dub everything you do on the IMAX because you can’t hear the dialogue."
