Jett Clears up Hugo Strange Rumor

Jett of the Batman On Film website has clarified the Robin Williams/Hugo Strange rumor...

Jett of the Batman On Film website has clarified his musing on Robin Williams as Hugo Strange in The Dark Knight Rises. When faced with a question regarding Jett's Tweet on the site's Question of the Day feature, Jett responded as such:

"Absolutely nothing. All I was doing was thinking out loud after a chat I had with an industry friend of mine. I’ve made no secret that 1) I’d LOVE it if Robin Williams finally got his wish and was cast in a Batman film, and, 2) I’d also love to see the character of Hugo Strange included in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Put those 2 together things together and, “RW as Strange? Hmm…..”

That’s it.

I’m flattered that all these outlets think that one of my Tweets is a story, but really, they’re all making a mountain out of very small anthill. If I knew that Hugo Strange was in the film for a fact -- as well as Robin Williams portraying the character -- I wouldn’t say anything about it anywhere.

And if turns out that Hugo Strange is in TDKR and he's portrayed by Robin Williams, just chalk it up as "a lucky guess.;) "




What do you make of this? Is Jett merely debunking his rumor or is he intentionally misleading us? Only time will tell, as Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises begins filming in May.

Kinda felt fake from the start to me. Not that Williams wouldn't pull it off with gusto, but it was just a tad too much, i felt. Plus, i'm biased in the sense that i'd rather have Williams as Wesker LOL :P

@BFGLOOMMY GUS

Jett made 2 distinct statements...both of which are stated up top....idiot fan boys want hugo strange so bad that instead of reading his statements as 2 distinct sentences they mash them together to get what they want to hear...

if u have ever visited the site he has stated several times throughout that any rumor is just that, unless released publicly by the production team he does not report it as fact!

poor poor bfgloomy gus

jett said this on 1/30/2011. Why you people waited so long for this? It's because CBM lives on rumors. If you people visited BOF regularly and read what this guy says, you would see that he is actually saying that robin williams should get the chance to do something in Nolan's films since a LOOOOOONG time ago... But you didn't make a story about that. Why? And why you didnt make a story of how they where right about a lot of things in the last months?? about the places they where going to film, about the villians, about the actors that they where considering... I'm tired of the peole of CBM talking shit about BOF, whining about how they have been wrong in the past. When actually, there were a few times when Jett was wrong, and if we talk about professionalism, this site has little.

as i have stated on this site before...if you want FACTS on the batman movie productions instead of fanboy m'bated hope filled rumors, then jett's site is the best place to go...ive been following him since 'begins' was in pre-production (his was the first site to have a pic of the batmobile). i like it when he gets pissed off at all the hearsay like the recent one with the possible appearance of Robin in 'rises'...he has connections with the actual production crew/staff with nolan...

Dunno if i want strange in it though, never really been one of my favourites, he would work well but he aint one of my faves.

@Intruder and others
People seem not to like this guy but he is a reliable source of information a few months ago he hinted at Bane and that is who was in the movie he also hinted at Catwoman and she is in the movie no he makes condescending remarks but he will not report fiction as fact nor will he fake interviews like some on these sites do.

This threquel has to have a villain more chaotic than the Joker, period. Nolan really has to push the envelop and lay all the cards on the table for this sequel to finish off on a right note. Let me go off topic for a minute. Corey Mathews from the Green bay Packers looks just like Thor, doesnt he??? Thats how big the actor should of been playing Thor.

I would like to see that happen yeah!:) Williams is very good actor and he could definitely pull off the role (Bryan Cranston and Ralph Fiennes would be my choices thou). But then there is this Gordon-Levitt rumor too so either it or this has to be nonsense cause i cant see four villains happen in this movie. I think that would be too much.
Althought Gordon-Levitt or Williams could play a good guy too? Who knows? We just have to wait and see :)

It's crazy how many rumors have been started about this movie. It might actually be one of the most anticipated movies of all time.

ROBIN WILLIAM WON´T BE IN TDKR!!!!

"Robin Williams is starring in a Broadway show called Bengal Tiger At The Baghdad Zoo, and it runs from the 1st of April until the 3rd of July. The Dark Knight Rises starts filming in May, so it's highly unlikely Williams will be in the movie, and it's even less likely that his current look has anything at all to do with Hugo Strange."

Williams could never pull off Strange. Does anyone on this site actually know who Strange is. He's all muscle with an extremely dark side. Something Williams could never in a million years pull off.
