Bob Hoskins and Phillip Seymour Hoffman up for the Penguin!
December 7, 2005 - Batman-on-Film is reporting a few casting rumors about the next Batman movie. Citing a trusted source, BoF claims that Philip Seymour Hoffman, currently winning raves and poised to receive an Oscar nom for his title role in Capote, is in the running to play Oswald Cobblepot, a.k.a. The Penguin, in the sequel.
The cherubic character actor's credits include Boogie Nights, Red Dragon, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Along Came Polly. He will next be seen in Mission: Impossible III.
Another name BoF has been told might be under consideration is oft-mentioned fan fave Bob Hoskins. The husky Cockney thesp seems a good fit for a Christopher Nolan Bat-cast given the filmmaker's penchant for casting British actors.
The rumor mill has suggested that Cobblepot will appear as one of the sequel's villains, not unlike how Batman Begins included Carmine Falcone and Jonathan Crane in supporting roles. He will reportedly be an arms dealer and may be of Russian or British heritage in this version. The Joker is still said to be the main adversary.
Sam Rockwell as... THE JOKER?
I have been told that actor Sam Rockwell (CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND) "...has been personally campaigning for the role of The Joker in [Chris] Nolan's [BATMAN BEGINS] sequel." Hey, I'm sure he is - he any just about every actor his age in Hollywood! I'm kidding - sort of. Anyway, I'm not saying that Rockwell is "officially" being considered, and I'm certainly not saying he isn't either. This info came in from a reliable individual who got it from someone close to Mr. Rockwell. Our sources adds, "This doesn't mean he is confirmed or unconfirmed or even under consideration, but I can definitely say that the man is pursuing the role."
