Access Hollywood got an exclusive interview with actor Michael Caine. He discusses a lot of details concerning 'Batman: Dark Knight Rises.' He mentions when filming begins and if Batman 3 will be the last of the Batman movies by Nolan. Here are a few clips from the interview.
“‘The Dark Knight Rises’ starts at the end of May,” Cain said. “But he hasn’t finished his script yet,” Caine revealed about director Nolan’s creative process. “I talked to him last week… he’s still working on the script.”
“It’ll be the last one, but we’re like a family, all of us. Not just ‘Batman,’ but we’ve done ‘The Prestige’ and ‘Inception,’ he said regarding Nolan’s penchant for working with the same circle of actors in his mind-bending films.
“We’re all in everything all the time with Chris. So, we are all one family and we love to see each other,” said the two-time Academy Award winning actor who plays Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred.
Caine was in NYC at the 2011 Toy Fair to talk up his upcoming role in “Cars 2,” and expressed nothing but praise for Tom Hardy, who will take on the Caped Crusader as the villain Bane in the film.
Depending on which online rumor bin you keep tabs on, Robin Williams once again recently saw his name pop up for a villain role in “The Dark Knight Rises.” This time for Hugo Strange, a character that has yet to be confirmed for the film.
Could Robin be re-teaming with Christopher Nolan (whom he previously worked with on “Insomnia,” co-staring Al Pacino and Hilary Swank)?
“I love working with him. I’d do anything with him. I don’t know,” Williams recently told Access in an interview for his new Broadway show, “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.”
Williams has been circling the casting carousel to play a big screen Batman villain for decades now.
“They offered years ago, then they gave it to Jack Nicholson. Then they offered it to me again, and they gave it to Jim Carrey,” referring to The Joker in 1989’s “Batman” and The Riddler in 1995’s “Batman Forever.”

So there you have it. This may be the last Batman film, the script is almost finished and shooting begins in May. And Robin Williams offered a part...again?
