Earlier this week production on
The Dark Knight Rises moved from India to the U.K. where
Hollywood Chicago reports it is now set to film for several weeks before moving to Pittsburgh. As we've reported previously, the two day shoot in India kicked off filming on the movie last Friday and depending on which source you believe actor
Josh Pence may or may not have been joined by
Christian Bale during the shoot. As Josh Pence plays Ra's Al Ghul in 'flashbacks' - if they were indeed shooting together than that's very VERY interesting indeed, wouldn't ya say? Much more details on the London shoot
HERE. A few further updates on The Dark Knight Rises today and
The L.A. Times reports that the movie is likely to carry a budget of 'at least
$250 milllion' which if true and if that doesn't include marketing costs, well that's substantially higher than it cost even to make
Inception. However when you consider that The Dark Knight Rises made $1 billion, if the third movie performs anywhere near the same then WB have a huge hit on their hands. An Israeli website
XNET are reporting that actor
Alon Aboutboul is preparing for The Dark Knight Rises where he will play 'a particularly evil scientist'. No further details have been given and I don't believe it's a large role in the film but it's interesting nevertheless. Aboutboul is probably best known for his supporting role in Ridley Scott's movie Body of Lies.
