Wally Pfister reveals Anne Hathaway will look phenomenal in The Dark Knight Rises
Cinematograher Wally Pfister recently revealed that he shot the test footage for the actors auditioning for The Dark Knight Rises. Here's what he had to say about how Anne Hathaway looked in her Catwoman costume:

"She looks phenomenal in the wardrobe."


He also spoke about the secretive nature of The Dark Knight Rises, admitting he didn't know who was testing for the role until two days before the screen tests:

"They could turn around and surprise me too. It's happened before. When I turned around and saw that list of girls that we were going to be screen testing before they cast Anne... I didn't know myself who was real and who wasn't until about two days before the tests when Emma (Thomas) told me."


Wally Pfister also revealed that they will shoot The Dark Knight Rises in the IMAX format "As much as possible."

The Dark Knight Rises comes to theaters July 20th, 2012 and stars Liam Neeson, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Aidan Gillen, Marion Cotillard. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan.

    I know that, but it must've been something that had the basic overall look of the final design, yes something that was very cheaply made, yet could fit all of the people auditioning for the part...

    Well @Kinetic, they have been in pre-pro for some time, more than enough time to get an early suit out. Not necessarily the final one, but close to it isn't too far off.

    it can't be the real costume, those things take a lot of time to make as they are specially built for the actor/actress...

    I'm half expecting the title of the movie to be changed. It sounds dumb to me. Why not "The Black Knight" or "The Batman". Even "The Rise of the Dark Knight".

    @ejk1 Right. A mix of "When in Rome", "Prey", and "Knightfall" would do wonders.

    @LuxoIII I agree, I said that about the Begins & TDK that actors were announced as just one alias so this keeps the audience guessing and I for one like it better that way, the less said about the plot characters the better.

    Part of me believes that Carmine Falcone will be back in this movie, and Selina's actions are because of her attempt to find out if he is indeed her father. Nolan did say he was using characters from the previous films, so this scenario could fit.

    Nuuu, @Supes - I'm not THAT old . . . yet :P
    My bad. Portman is older than me. In that case, Hathaway and I are the same age.

    @ejk1 IF Nolan runs with the modern Catwoman. Which I don't see why not.

    Someone below said, :At least we get a sexy villain this time." Who said that she's a villain? I haven't read that anywhere, and Selina is basically now a hero(and if you've been reading Batman Inc., Bruce Wayne's bedmate).

    Since Hathaway is only 3 years older than me, she beats both Halle Berry and Pfeiffer in my book.

    And Hathaway "tops" them both! :P

    I thought Michelle Pfeiffer was hotter then Halle Berry as Catwoman.

    WB has been most impressive with their DC casting, as of late :P

    I'm not worried whether she'll become Catwoman, if that was the impression I gave off. I know it will happen. I just think it is silly to wonder if it 'won't' happen. It's Selina Kyle, it's what she does.
