The assumption is that after Nolan is done with his pet project he will get back to that movie you know we all really are waiting for, and perhaps he is just waiting for someone to write it for him. That must be why actors are all publicly auditioning for roles in a movie he hasn’t even started working on.
Now Dane Cook wants to be the Riddler in the movie Nolan hasn’t made yet.
“I love the new ‘Dark Knight’ series and ‘Batman Begins,'” Cook told MTV News. “If they brought back The Riddler — a new Riddler the way they did with The Joker — that would be bad-ass. I would do that. That would be it. I could retire after that.”
I know its all just wishful thinking and career talking. Yeah, who wouldn’t want to be a part of the most anticipated third chapter since Return of the Jedi?
But thats all it is. Talk. Maybe if they say it out loud it will find its way to Nolan’s ears and the light will go on, then we will all be talking about how Nolan hired Dane Cook to play the Riddler, Miley Cyrus as Batgirl, and Angelina Jolie as Catwoman. All because they expressed interest in it and it made sense to him.
We don’t even know who is going to be IN the film or even if Nolan will sign on for it (we assume he will) so its all speculation and self promotion.
No one else was talking about Dane Cook for a movie role so this off the cuff statement just went viral online and suddenly his name is out there again!
I feel so used.
