The Dark Knight Rises: new picture, how the ending is being protected

Given that the making of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises has been accompanied by a large collection of fan-snapped images of the production, we’ve been exposed to some intriguing pictures from the assorted sets of the movie.

This latest image isn’t one of those, but in the spirit of completeness, here it is. It’s a picture of Christian Bale sitting behind the wheel of a Lamborghini. Presumably because his FIAT Punto was in the garage.

Elsewhere, Gary Oldman has been nattering to Contactmusic about the lengths that Christopher Nolan is going to in order to keep the finale of The Dark Knight Rises under wraps. Granted, this is fairly routine for Hollywood now, but Oldman revealed that “Christopher doesn't want anyone to ruin it and I completely understand that. The newer people on the film go to his office to read the script. They sent mine out, but it had to be hand delivered directly to me and nobody else. And the final few pages were missing. I went along and talked to Christopher and in person about the ending. Then I locked it away in my head”.

Finally, the story we (temporarily) posted about no Morgan Freeman in The Dark Knight Rises? It was nonsense. Apologies, and we've trebled our caffeine intake to stop it happening again. That should do the trick.

The shoot of the film continues, although it’s nearing completion now. And The Dark Knight Rises is arriving in cinemas in July 2012.
