Movie News: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES CASTING!



We're only a few months away from the start of shooting on Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises and the word coming out of Hollywood is they're now looking for two female actresses. One will be a villain and the other will be a love interest.  Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley, Jessica Biel, Charlotte Riley and Kate Mara are among the key names to go in for a screen test over the next few days. 

No major surprises, although it's interesting to see Riley on the list, as she is the fiancee of Tom Hardy, who's playing the main villain in the film. Personally, I'd like to see someone relatively unknown in the roles, so she could be an good choice.

Let me know what you guys think. Is there anyone you'd like to see get the job?

  1. How about Jennifer Connelly? Great actress and very easy on the eye!

  2. Thanks for the comment! Really like that suggestion. I think she'd make a great love interest for Batman. Not sure about her being a villain, but I guess she's a good enough actress to do it.

  3. No Knightley! I do NOT want her in any Batman pic. Period!

  4. I think it's doubtful they'll go with Knightley, cause she just wouldn't fit. Can you imagine her playing the villain? Hilarious.

  5. assuming the character is either catwoman or talia al ghul, i strangely can see keira doing it, shes capable of that arrogance and self assuredness, while also being vulnerable at times

    She was excellent in Heroes!!

  7. I hear what you're saying about Keira. I guess it does depend on which character they choose.

  8. There are a few actresses from Heroes that could work, Kristen is definitely one of them.
