Chris Nolan has denied many of the casting rumours for his upcoming "Batman Begins" sequel "The Dark Knight", and released a few more tidbits to IESB.
First up the Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Ryan Phillippe and Sean Penn casting rumours - "No truth, no truth to any of those rumors. All interesting ideas though".
Don't expect 'Knight' to resemble 'Begins' much either? "I certainly wouldn't have, you know, any interest in somewhat trying to repeat the experience that the film already made because I think, particularly being an origin story, it's a very unique thing very singular. My interest in the sequel is to move on from there and do something quite different".
Will there be more action? "Certainly we are free to put Batman into action earlier on. But if you look at the, I mean the rhythm of action movies is very complicated because there is a limit actually to how much action is in the film, how you have to have a particular ebb and flow to what actually works and Batman Begins is pretty stuffed to be honest. But, it didn't all get to involve that character, Bruce Wayne was Batman because of the origin and that we don't have to do".
