Inquirer Entertainment: Bale talks about his co-stars in ‘Dark Knight Rises’

LOS ANGELES – Christian Bale was in a good mood in our recent interview with him. The actor, who can be terse and very serious, was all smiles throughout our talk.

Christian refused to answer some questions in previous interviews, but in this chat at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, no such moment came. He revealed new details about “The Dark Knight Rises” and shared his thoughts about director Chris Nolan and some of his costars, including Anne Hathaway (Catwoman), Tom Hardy (Bane) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (John Blake).

The 2011 Oscar and Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor winner for his terrific work in “The Fighter” dished about his upcoming two films that reunite him with his “The New World” director, Terrence Malick (whom he calls Terry). He also shared his personal insights about working with Zhang Yimou in China in “The Flowers of War, ” a Best Foreign Film contender in this awards season.

Long list

First on our topic list was his new “Dark Knight” castmates. Since it’s quite a long list of accomplished actors, we asked him to zero in on Anne, Tom and Joseph.

“I had plenty of scenes with Anne, ” Christian began. “And I was there when we did the screen test for her. The thing that I said to Chris [Nolan] that day was that there were many very accomplished actresses who had read for the role. I’m terrible at auditions, so I’m very impressed when somebody really seems to acquire an ownership of a character without having worked on it or prepared for some amount of time. ”
