I'm sure that you'll remember me posting an interview with Sir Michael Caine a few days ago where he talked about Batman 3 possibly being the movie he decides to end his career with. That was transcribed from a recent radio interview he did with the BBC, and here is the full version of that which includes plenty of new information from the legendary actor!
On Returning For Batman 3:
"There will be a new Batman. It will probably start in May next year. I assume I'm there, but in the movie business you never believe anything, you assume. But I've been in the last four Chris Nolan pictures, he's my lucky charm. I did 'Prestige', and recently 'Inception', I'm hoping to do another one. He's written the new one."
On Whether Or Not He Knows Who The Villain Will Be:
"No one will tell you. Chris is the most secretive man in the world."
On Getting The Role Of Alfred The Butler:
The first time when he asked me to do 'Batman Begins', I played a butler, he came to my house on a Sunday morning, he had the script. He went and said, 'Can you read it now,' so I read it and said, 'It's fantastic, I'll do it' so I went to put the script in my office and he said, 'No, I want it back.'"
"He waited until I finished reading, had a cup of tea with my missus and then took the script away again in case someone saw it. Actors are such silly sods they don't know what they're doing half the time."
So, what can we learn from this? Clearly, Christopher Nolan is even more secretive than we ever gave him credit for and I guess we shouldnt expect to see any news leak out about this movie until he and Warner Bros decide to release it themselves! Regardless, I think it's fair to say that Batman is in great hands with the secretive director. The new movie is set to be released on July 20, 2012!
