Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an interesting rumor from BatmanOnFilm regarding the two actors reading for the part of Joker in the BATMAN BEGINS sequel. BatmanOnFilm usually have pretty reputable sources, but consider anything you hear about BATMAN as a rumor until they at least officially announce the movie is moving forward! The BatmanOnFilm site seems to have just gone down, but here is what they had to say:
Two of BOF's best - and completely unrelated - sources have confirmed for us that Australian actor Lachy Hulme (pronounced "Lock-ee Hewm") and British thesp Paul Bettany are the only actors that BATMAN producers are considering for the role of The Joker - at the momment. One of these two sources also told us that screen tests will indeed take place this fall, although it was unclear if one or both of these actors are testing...
In addition, one of these same sources told BOF that we were "dead on" regarding our report that Mr. Nolan will indeed return to The Cave once he completes his next project - which is said to be THE EXEC for Warner Bros.
