Maggie Gyllenhaal Spills on The Dark Knight's Rachel Dawes
January 6th, 2008
The Metro UK recently sat down with Maggie Gyllenhaal for one of their famous Sixty Second interviews. During the chat, she spilled a little bit about her upcoming The Dark Knight character Rachel Dawes.When they asked if her character was a "damsel in distress", Gyllenhaal replied by saying:
There are moments of that. Chris Nolan, the director, would joke about how I had to resign myself to being a little bit of a damsel in distress but he pushed me in other ways to make her a powerful character. I play a lawyer and have real relationships with the people I'm interacting with in the movie. She's very smart and a real rounded person. Of course, if you're the girl in Batman, you're going to be a damsel in distress to some extent but she's a really great character. So many people I play are a mess; Rachel's really clear about what's important to her and unwilling to compromise her morals, which made a nice change.
The Dark Knight opens July 18th, 2008.
