Nestor Carbonell has shot his last scenes for The Dark Knight Rises and while at the CW Premier party last night the actor chatted to MTV about reprising the role of Mayor Garcia in what is pretty much confirmed (nothing to say he can't change his mind) to be Christopher Nolan's last Batman flick.
"I finished [filming] about a month ago in Pittsburgh. It was a lot of fun, it's nice to go back to Chris Nolan's world.
"He has announced that this is his last go at 'Batman' but yeah, if it is the last for him, he certainly goes out big. It's massive. What I saw of the sets was just unbelievable. When we were shooting a particular scene I snuck around to see the image on the dolly of what the D.P., Wally Pfister, Academy Award Winner [was shooting]. I looked and immediately thought, 'Wow, I see why he is who he is, it's beautifully framed, beautifully shot, half is on IMAX."
Carbonell goes on to talk about how Nolan has made a psychological thriller and not just a CBM..
"He's one of these amazing storytellers in our generation, he's one of the guys who's taken that genre and grounded it and done something with it that hasn't done before. He's made it that much more real, much more accessible, and he's made a psychological thriller out of all of them, so he's great, he's amazing."
MTV then ask him if Garcia will see any more action this time around?
"It's really hard for me to say. I can't say, but it was great to re-team with a cast, the old guard," he said. "Great to see Mr Oldman, he's the man. You've seen the trailer, already you can tell the guy is unbelievable."
