Total Film is currently running around Cannes like a crazed movie-pitcher attempting to prove Speed 3 should be set entirely in the world of online journalism, via the medium of a live-action demonstration.
Either that or we're preparing for the Olympics by taking part in the most surreal multi-stage fitness test of all time - "You have 30 seconds to get from the Palais to the Hotel Martinez 🌞and back again… go!"
What we're saying is, we're rushed. But when France offers up gems as glorious th𝄹e one below, we can't help but pause long enough to bash out a news story on it.
Speaking at a generally fairly weird press conference, Tom Hardy offered up the following information when asked about working with Gary Oldman on three recent projects; , and Lawless .
🤪The following quote will be of extreme interest to Bat-fans seeking out any possible scraps of info🅰rmation about Christopher Nolan's follow-up to .
This is the bit where we warn you a🃏bout spoilers. Spoilers.
"I spent my entire experience with Gary [ on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy] staring at him and not returning any lines because I think he's God. The second time [ on The Dark Knight Rises] I was playing God, so I ignored him. Kicked him a bit, that kind of tওhing. Gary Oldman is one of my heroes, I did nothing but glean from him."
That's the first official confirmation that Bane is directly involved in a fight 🍎with - and possibly the hospi♛talisation of - Commissioner Gordon, glimpsed at in the first teaser trailer.
And Hardy's description of Bane as༒ God gives us an insight into just how powerful and omniဣpotent the character will be.
And outside anything els🐻e, it's just a nice quote. Gᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚary Oldman's our God too, and Cannes is a fitting place to pay tribute to him, as this feature will attest.
Anyway, that's about as much time as we can spare for this particular pitstop, as we've got Jan de Bont on the phone about our Speed 3 idea. He's telling us it's rubbish. Fair enough.
