Casting for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES continues to dominate headlines, and today’s really no different. The only alteration? A few lesser known names are now being thrown into the pot.
Word is “Rescue Me” star Daniel Sunjata (seen bleeding to the right) has joined the highly anticipated third BATMAN film from Nolan, though no exact description of his character has been given. We do know Sunjata will play a gallant special forces operative, but that’s about it.
Also added to the cast are Diego Klattenhoff (“Mercy”) and Burn Gorman (LAYER CAKE, RED LIGHTS). Klattenhoff will play a rookie cop hungry to make a dent in the world of crime-fighting, while Gorman’s supporting role is unspecified at this time. Either way, you can bet the profiles of both men will soar mightily once THE DARK KNIGHT RISES shatters the box-office.
Set to film in Pittsburgh this summer, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES July 20, 2012. The film also stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman, Juno Temple, Katie Holmes, Marion Cotillard (below), Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman.
