And on that day, Matt Rorie used his one wish to become a steel gate on some Colorado ranch.
While it isn't news that Joseph-Gordon Levitt (or "Jiggle" as I'm contractually obliged to refer to him if i want to continue working at Screened) would be joining the already stacked deck of a cast for The Dark Knight Rises, it has yet to be confirmed what role he'd be playing. Until now, that is!
Variety is reporting that Jiggle has now officially closed a deal with Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan that will see him join a cadre of the film's villians: Tom Hardy (playing Bane), and Anne Hathaway (playing Catwoman). While it had been popularly rumored a while back that his villainous role could be that of The Riddler, Nolan has cast JGL as Alberto Falcone, son of Batman Begins' mob boss Carmine Falcone ( Tom Wilkinson). Fans of the comics will also know Falcone as "The Holiday Killer", a serial killer who murders Gotham's criminals.
The original story also mentions Juno Temple's possible addition to the cast as a street smart Gotham girl, but nothing past that is known at this time. The big news here is clearly Jiggle's confirmed addition, and in a role that seems more fitting into Nolan's aesthetic: that of a more believable, realistic villain rather the cartoonish baddies seen in the 90's movies.
At this point, I can't foresee there being any possible way to further pack any more anticipation into this movie through casting. It's a full house, or a royal flush, or whatever is the better hand in poker. Can we just all start mailing Chris Nolan all of our moneys now?
Really can't wait for the new Batman film. Levitt was brilliant in Inception, so it will be good to see him in anther big film.
DC is dumb.
It was
When do serial killers ever have bad ass names (besides Dexter Morgan)?
Gotham city's own Dexter? Played by Jiggle??! Fuckin yeah!
Inception Rises would be a more apt title, cant wait for this movie
it would be cooler to have them working unbeknowst to eachother and just causing hell
