TDKR: No Neeson And Toy Peek

A while back Liam Neeson was spotted on the set of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises,which led to speculation he might be making a cameo in the sequel.


It seems he wasn't there long enough to do much of anything...

Neeson told Showbiz Spy makiing the press rounds for director Joe Carnahan's survival actioner The Grey out Friday that he was only on-set "for maybe an hour-and-a-half and the director didn't tell me anything of what it's about. So, I’m being very honest when I say I have no idea what’s going to happen."

Meantime the U.K. is in the midst of Toy Fair with various tie-in merchandise for this year's major film blockbusters on display. These include prototype action figures and statues of Christian Bale's Batman, Tom Hardy's Bane and Anne Hathaway's Catwoman (via Bad Ass Digest).



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 Gary Oldman 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 set to hit theaters on July 20th, 2012.
