According to an Israeli site
Xnet, via
Badass Digest, relatively unknown actor Alon Abutbul has been cast in Christopher Nolan's much-awaited film
The Dark Knight Rises. While Google's translator had a part in understanding the site's report, which often spreads inaccurate info, they seem to suggest the actor will "embody the image of a particularly evil mad scientist." The site's full translation reads:
Blog of a song by Lilia, the partner of Abutbul, Israeli actor was cast to play the new film series "Batman." Or as she wrote it: "It was eleven thirty at night. After receiving a questionnaire said the new Batman role."
Another one who decided to report the role of director Doron was Abutbul Sabri ("connected") piped up his Twitter account: "Oh, I forgot to update questionnaire Abutbul new Batman was cast as the bad one. Honor Salonica" honor indeed.
Sources close to the player confirmed the reports officially told that although the extent of the role is still unknown, Abutbul will embody the image of a particularly evil mad scientist,
Alon Abutbul is mostly known for his role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in
Body Of Lies, and plays evil scientist 'Dr. Armand Silva' in the
Fringe TV series. Regarding his role in
TDKR,
Badass Digest seems to think this "Mad Scientist" could be 'Hugo Strange', whose been recently
rumored to appear, although yet to be confirmed. What do you think?
The Dark Knight Rises' story details are underwraps. Although, the films stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard, Josh Pence, Nestor Carbonell & Michael Caine, the film releases 20 July, 2012!
