TDKR: Oldman On Bane As The Bad Guy

Gary Oldman is out promoting the December 9th remake of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises came up...


Speaking with MTV News Oldman was asked about why they went with Bane (Tom Hardy) as the bad guy - "I think it was smart of Chris to go with a lesser-known villain rather than — because Heath's performance, first of all, we love the Joker in Batman. Heath’s performance [in The Dark Knightwas so dazzling that you got to think, ‘How the hell do I top it?’ Instead of going for Riddler, instead of going for Penguin, he’s gone a slightly different way with the story."

Christian Bale Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt Marion Cotillard Josh Pence, Alon Aboutboul and Nestor Carbonell star along with return of the trilogy's ensemble cast such as Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine Cillian Murphy might be making a cameo

Matthew Modine Tom Conti 11-year-old actress Joey King Daniel Sunjata Diego Klattenhoff Christopher Judge "CSI: Miami" co-star Adam Rodriguez and Burn Gorman take on secondary roles. Rob Brown and Italian actor Massi Furlan have small roles in the film as well

Nolan called action on the DKR from a screenplay he wrote with bro Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Nolan and David S. Goyer

The sequel is slated for a July 20, 2012 release and had a budget of $250 million -- the highest of all three of Nolan's Bat-films.

As for Tinker director Tomas Alfredson told The Playlist plans for a sequel to the well received remake are indeed being discussed...
