Batman 3 = The Dark Knight Rises!!!!

This little tidbit of info popped up this week and set the Chicago acting community ablaze with excitement!!!

We have heard for months now of locations secured for Warner Bros. in Chicago for filming next March and April through summer for an untitled "action movie".   Christopher Nolan dropped this week that Batman 3 is going ahead full speed and the title is The Dark Knight Rises.  Which is cool but surprising he would use a similar title.   The only other details we know at this point is Tom Hardy from Inception is cast in a secret role, it will be shot in IMAX again, and Joseph Gordon Levitt is NOT the Riddler.  In fact, the Riddler is not the villain at all!!!   Filming will aslo take place in parts of Louisiana too.

This is also very exciting for me cause The Dark Knight was the first film project I ever worked on.  Hopefully I reprise my Sgt. Spellman police character.
