Remember when Michael Caine, clearly a Batman insider spilled about casting news for the as-yet-to-be-started third Batman film? Well that turned out to be blind speculation and completely unfounded.
Well Caine is spilling more news, now sharing the certainty of Johnny Depp’s lack of involvement. Or perhaps his lack of credibility regarding such things.
MTV Splash Page quotes Caine:
“There is nobody, there’s no script, there’s nothing,” Caine told MTV News of the status of the next “Batman” movie. “It can’t possibly be made before 2011 because ‘Inception’ is such a big picture.”
“[They] won’t tell me anything because I said this before,” laughed Caine of the no-tell policy surrounding him after last year’s Depp/Hoffman story. Nevertheless, Caine offered this bit of “news”—before admitting that it could be wrong, and he’d be in trouble all over again.
“Johnny Depp is great in anything, but there is no Johnny Depp in this Batman,” he smiled. “They tell me in no uncertain terms.”
So lets review. There is nobody, there’s no script, there’s nothing. There is also no Depp?
If there is nothing, how can there be no Depp. Who’s to say there WON’T be a Depp? With all the uncertainty and no direction taken as of yet, how can he know that?
Maybe that’s the point. Let’s stop listening to Michael Caine about Batman news.
