In a fascinating interview with Deadline about his 2010 hit, Inception, the director also dropped in a few interesting bits of information about about the past and future Batman movies. Be sure to follow the link at the bottom of this article to read that, and check out the Caped Crusader related highlight below.
On Why He Decided Not To Film The Dark Knight Rises In 3D: "In the case of Batman, I view those as iconic, operatic movies, dealing with larger-than-life characters. The intimacy that the 3D parallax illusion imposes isn’t really compatible with that. We are finishing our story on the next Batman, and we want to be consistent to the look of the previous films."
On How He Felt When Heath Ledger Won A Posthumous Oscar: " I was extremely gratified to see people responding to work that I knew was great. And I was very proud to have been a part in its creation, or at least in creating a world where a great artist could really show what he could do. It was a great honor to be in any way involved in that."
On The Future Of Inception And How That Relates To His Batman Movies: "I’ve always liked the potential of the world. It’s an infinite, or perhaps I should say an infinitesimal world that fascinates me. At the moment, we’re exploring a video game, which is something I’ve been very interested in doing for a number of years. This lends itself nicely to that. As far as sequels go, I think of Inception as one film, but that’s how I approach all my films. When I was making Batman Begins, I certainly didn’t have any thoughts of doing a second Batman film, let alone a third. You never quite know where your creative interests are going to take you, but when I was making Inception, I viewed it as a stand-alone movie."
The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released on July 20, 2012!
