Even though the cast are still seemingly as in the dark as we are in regards to the many as yet unrevealed aspects to The Dark Knight Rises, one thing they(and we) now know is when the script is expected to land on their doorstep, and when they will be getting back in front of the camera to shoot what is expected to be Chris Nolan's last journey to Gotham City.
While talking to Empire, Michael Caine(Alfred) said the following..
“Emma [Thomas], the producer, said we'd get the script in January. Christopher said: 'Script in January, shoot in May, finish in November.'"
Sounds like a plan! There are dozens of rumors flying around as to who Tom hardy might be playing in the film, as well as speculation on which, if any, of the lovely ladies vying for the roles of love interest and villain will nab the part. But one thing is for sure, we won't know anything until Nolan is good and ready!..
"Christopher is the most secretive guy in the world," Caine said, "he won't tell you anything."
Well, as far as I'm concerned he has earned our trust whether we know any plot details or not. But if the script is due by January that means Chris and brother Jonathan don't have that much more time to get that final draft in order and the story must be taking shape. Expect details pretty soon I reckon.
