Now that the rumor of Christopher Nolan’s villain in the next Batman film will be The Riddler, their are contenders’ names thrown left and right. Two favorites for the film are current Joseph Gordon Levitt and Johnny Depp. The two would both be great for the film, Depp’s ability of being able to transform himself into the character would be amazing. Unfortunately, I do not believe Johnny Depp would be interested in this film.
JGL looks the part and has proven himself lately as a very talented actor.
Now the National Enquirer(most trustworthy news source in the world) is claiming Eminem wants to give the role a try. If you die Slimshaddy’s hair brown I could definitely see it though. Hell why not, he has rhyming experience. He just lacks the acting experience, but I am sure he can play a crazed maniac pretty well.
NE states:
After seven weeks of topping the charts with his “Recovery” album, almighty-whitey rapper EMINEM – itching to dominate movie screens again and repeat the critical kudos he won with biopic “8 Mile” – rapped to his reps: “When it comes to business, you know I ain’t no fiddler…You tell them Batman biggies, I wanna play ‘The Riddler!’”
Will Eminem nail a big-screen comeback deal – or get a screen test, at least?
Producers are piqued at the prospect of a Rappin’ Riddler, but Slim Shady’s facing stiff competition – execs are also confab-ing with JOHNNY DEPP and red-hot “Inception” star JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT. Stay tuned.
Now if Nolan ever gives Eminem a chance and he actually gets the part or does not get the part I think he should hire the man as a writer too. I think Eminem consulting on the rhymes of the Riddler would absolutely be amazing. Eminem’s songs have some of the funniest lines in them. I believe in the end the JGL will get the spot. He looks the part and has shown he can be crazy. Take my advice though and get Eminem on the writing team!
