Big TDKR Announcement Coming Soon?

Bit of speculation here, but the general assumption is that we will be hearing something official regarding casting/characters very soon...

Nothing has kept the rumor mill churning like Chris Nolan's upcoming threequel, The Dark Knight Rises. Who are the villains? Who will Tom Hardy Play? What story will it follow? Speculation and outright fabrication have run riot on the interwebs for months. But now we might be looking at some official news soon enough.

La Times'Geoff Boucher Tweeted the following from The Golden Globes Sunday night..

"At Golden Globes last night I ended the night in the valet line behind Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas and chatting about big things to come"


Now, that doesn't necessarily mean too much taken on it's own but Boucher seems to be Nolan's go to guy when it comes to revealing details. He broke the news of the official title, as well as the fact that The Riddler will play no part in the story. So if he knows something, it's likely we soon will too. Also, word is that casting has all but wrapped and pre-production is already underway. With BOF claiming(speculating?) that an official press release is "imminent".

Definition of imminent?..

Now “imminent” is a relative term. But they are finishing up casting and the characters are going out to merchandisers, etc. who need to know. I bet it’s within the next month — probably sooner.


Keep in mind that this could be a complete guess! But the signs are pointing to something official very soon. Keep an eye on CBM for updates.
