The Dark Knight Sequel Heating Up?!
We all know that at Comic-Con, Gary Oldman let slip that the sequel to Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight is expected to start filming soon. We also know that Oldman later retracted those statements for fear of his life.
Here are the facts:
Christopher Nolan is doing a movie right now.
Christian Bale is unsure if there will be another one, and he is really skinny from filming a movie with Marky Mark.
There is no script.
There isn’t a villian.
That doesn’t sound too promising am I right? Well today, a very close source of mine that is sort of kind of in charge of the rental facility that Warner Bros. uses for the trailers for the actors and the makeup trailers etc., (basically it’s an empty parking lot) told me he got a call from Warner Bros or whoever is in charge of picking up that lot space.
Here’s the deal: The lot in question is still empty, though they are planning on putting in a huge parking garage in the near future. According to my source, they want the lot from (here’s where it gets kind of cool) the end of December of 2010 until April of 2011. So pretty much the dead of winter in Chicago. This is just speculation, but winter = Mr. Freeze as the villian. (Granted, Catwoman and Penguin were in a wintery Gotham in Batman Returns).
The deal HAS NOT been finalized. Warner Bros. pretty much just sent a querie about the lot. It might not even be Batman related ( My source seems confident it is though because of previous dealings with WB.)
I’ll keep an ear to the ground in the meantime. (I know this isn’t awesome super fantastic news, but it’s something!)
