In a recent interview at the Empire Awards, veteran actor Gary Oldman has spilled out a few interesting titbits of information regarding THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. According to Oldman, the production draft of the screenplay does not include the ending. Apparently director Christopher Nolan has personally told the actor how this trilogy will reach to its climax, so that it does not leak out online.
Gary Oldman also added that his Commissioner James Gordon character will have a lot of interaction with Tom Hardy's Bane.
"The Dark Knight Rises begins in May. All I can say is that it's a really great story. It's a great script. (Christopher Nolan) has outdone himself from The Dark Knight. It is fantastic. I'll be picking up the script here in a couple of weeks. I am actually working with Tom Hardy on The Wettest County in the World, that I am going to do. I worked with him on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Then he is in the next Batman. So, its the year of Tom Hardy. I have quite a bit to do with Tom in this one. You know the character? Its going to be fantastic. Its common knowledge at this point."
As for the script reading process, Oldman explains:
"To get into the production office, you have someone meet you. Then there are keys in various doors that lock. The script? You read it in the production office. And there is no ending to the script, either. (Christopher Nolan) tells you the ending so that it doesn't leak and get out, and people spoil it on the Internet. Its very tight security. That is how he does it."
In the end, this is what Oldman can only say about his third turn as Commissioner James Gordon in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES:
"I have a lot to do. The story is fabulous. He brings it back. He brings it around. That's it. I can't say anymore."
