Anthony Michael Hall (DEAD ZONE) has reported that he is going to be playing a role in THE DARK KNIGHT. Now, I have never seen a thing that Hall has ever done (how did I miss FREDDY GOT FINGERED?), but this news really intrigues me. Why? Well because as he says:
“I signed a confidentiality agreement, and I can’t say which part I’m playing because it affects the story… I can’t give away the suspense — it’s a $200 million surprise, and I don’t want to be the guy to ruin it.”
A BATMAN BEGINS spoiler is going to follow… Although if you haven’t seen the movie yet, I guarantee you have better things to do than read this article.
One of my favourite parts in BATMAN BEGINS was right at the end when Commissioner Gordon tells Bats about the new villain and gives him the Joker playing card. I thought it was brilliant, kind of like when at the end of RED DRAGON someone tells Lector he has a visitor. Obviously I don’t want exactly the same thing again, but I think if Hall is playing a character that is so pivotal that just the mention of the character’s name is going to be a spoiler, then this is fairly major news. Or maybe I’m just blowing this out of proportion because it’s THE DARK KNIGHT related. I can’t really picture him as a high-profile villain (as in he doesn’t look like any of them to me)… What do you guys think?
