Anthony Michael Hall will always remain that steadfast anchor to the 80s for me no matter what he does next. I rank him higher than the Coreys. To see that he is announced to be a part of the upcoming Batman Begins: THe Dark Knight film is really cool news, but the cooler part is that he is respecting the medium and not spilling ANYTHING.
“Dead Zone” star Anthony Michael Hall reports the plot of the latest Batman saga, “The Dark Knight,” is so secret he’s forbidden to even say what character he’s portraying.
“I signed a confidentiality agreement, and I can’t say which part I’m playing because it affects the story,” says Hall. “I can’t give away the suspense — it’s a $200 million surprise, and I don’t want to be the guy to ruin it.”
Contract or no contract, sometimes stars do spill bits. Usually not intentional. Interviewers are often crafty in how they ask questions in hopes of getting them to trip over the list of “do not tell” information in their head.
But Hall is keeping his yap closed. Good for him. As much as I would like to know these little insider bits, I secretly crave NOT to know them.
We expected to wait MUCH longer before seeing the Joker revealed, but they tossed it out this weekend, well ahead of the fans expectations. Could it be that Hall’s character is something even MORE of a secret that they were hoping that dropping the Joker on us would divert attention away from the announcement of Hall’s involvement?
Oh how the speculation machine fuels itself!
