Aright so I read this interview with Michael Caine (Alfred) and was taking it with a grain of salt till I read this: Looks like there might be some truth to that rumor after all. I'd be really pumped to see Depp in a Batman movie. Hoffman could be good but I think it would depend on how queer they make the penguin.
Sounds like a fan that happens to be a WB exec was just making small talk. The way it was phrased gives it no more credibility than if I had posted in the Batman thread, "You know how you make people forget about Joker? Cast Johnny Depp as Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin. That would be awesome!" I doubt that Nolan has had serious discussions with anyone regarding possibilities for another Batman film. We won't hear legit news regarding Batman 3 till this time next year I'd bet.
Link? Not doubting your source, as I know you wouldn't sit here and type all of that up. I just want to pass it to a few friends.....
Seems bogus so far. The penguin part. Splash Page ‘Dark Knight’ Update: Philip Seymour Hoffman Responds To Casting Rumor, ‘I Don’t Know If I’d Be A Good Penguin’
FOXNews.com - Michael Caine: Johnny Depp, Philip Seymour Hoffman Likely for Next 'Batman' - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment I cant find the other site it was on but theres another one. Yea I saw that about Hoffman being clueless. I'd really rather them not do the Penguin so thats cool with me. Hope Depp is the Riddler tho.
I know Depp would make a great Riddler if true but would it kill Nolan to put some eye candy in there somewhere? I mean just one hot chick to play someone like Catwoman who's not Tom Cruise's love slave or someone that looks like a middle age librarian.
