Liam Neeson Talks About ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
By wolverinept on Nov 17, 2011 with Comments 0
Liam Neeson has debunked rumours that he will be returning to the Batman franchise in The Dark Knight Rises, but talking to MTV he did concede that he was looking forward to seeing the final instalment.
Whether Liam Neeson will reprise his villainous role of Ra’s Al Ghul for the final film of Christopher Nolan‘s trilogy remains one of the biggest question marks hovering over “The Dark Knight Rises.”
Rumors fill Internet forums, hyping the villain’s potential return, but we’ll let you decide if you want to seek out the clues. If you ask Neeson about “Rises,” he might act a little confused.
When MTV News sat down with the Academy Award-nominated actor to discuss his upcoming film “The Grey,” Neeson’s role in “Batman Begins” slipped his mind for a second.
“You’re throwing me for a loop there,”
Liam replied, when MTV News asked him about appearing in Batman Begins.
“That’s right. I was in Batman. I trained him.
“I’m eager to see this one. I haven’t a f**king clue what it’s about.”
The Dark Knight Rises has an all-star cast including Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy.
Gary has previously admitting shooting is so secretive Christopher has only verbally told the actors about the movie’s ending and hasn’t committed it to paper.
Liam is adamant that whatever the director has come up with it will be amazing. He particularly admires 2008’s The Dark Knight, which starred the late Heath Ledger. He died of an accidental overdose not long after filming, and went on to win a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of Joker.
“Chris Nolan’s made wonderful films, very rich, dark and complex, especially The Dark Knight,”
he said.
“Of course, it was cloaked in tragedy.”
There have been claims the final movie in the series will link back to the first. This is why many suspect Ra’s Al Ghul will make an appearance.
Liam has been listed as part of the cast by some publications, although this could be because lines he spoke in Batman Begins are included in one of the movie’s trailers.
