TDKR: Thomas Talks Bane & Catwoman

In a recent chat with Total Film about Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises producer Emma Thomas discussed the characters of Bane (Tom Hardy) and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) in the film that tops off their trilogy.

"Tom made a massive physical transformation for the role. He finally feels like a match for Batman -- both physically and mentally... Christian Bale and Tom Hardy are both such fiercely committed actors that pitching them as adversaries works incredibly well -- they have such a great chemistry on camera."


As for Hathaway's performance Thomas would only say "It's completely new, and it's a really interesting role. You never quite know where you are with her."


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.
