It was just yesterday that these here interwebs were rocked with the reveal of Tom Hardy as ‘Bane’ from Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. That shite spread like wild-fire! Almost as fast as Randy Savage’s death, Rest in Piece Macho King.
So what am I getting at? Well now that THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is on everybody’s mind Variety took the opportunity to announce a couple more additions to the cast: Matthew Modine, Tom Conti and Joey King have all signed on for the film. Now apparently Modine will be playing a character named ‘Nixon’ but that’s all we know. Ah Chris Nolan and his mysterious ways, I love it!
Plot details are unknown right now, as I’m sure they will be for a long time. The good thing is it looks like the viral train for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES has left the station so we can expect a lot more updates on the third entry to Nolan’s BATMAN trilogy soon.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES already has a release date of July 20, 2012 tapped and stars Hardy, Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway (below), Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman.
