The Times has an interesting interview with Gary Oldman, it mainly covers the new Harry Potter film but he does offer up some tidbits about what it’s like to play Jim Gordon in The Dark Knight:
‘I don’t know how it happened,’ Oldman says of his pigeonholing as a natural born gangster. He speaks slowly. Very slowly. In clipped sentences. ‘I really don’t. I was this… psycho guy. I just got into these parts. Then it… it… contaminates people. And they think that you’re Crazy-Scary-Gary. The closest character to me,’ he adds with ponderous gravity, ‘is Jim Gordon.’
[…]
I tell Oldman that the first word that comes to mind when you think of Jim Gordon is ‘avuncular’. ‘Yeah,’ he replies with a light shrug. ‘Got a good sense of right and wrong. Family man. Just a regular geezer.’
In other news, Dog Custard have some new Batpod shots from the 2007 Licensing show here. And a Flickr image has originated from LilRonGal showing the filming of a rooftop scene (with a spoilerific surprise).
