BadTaste.it was able to spoke with actor Eric Roberts about his role in The Dark Knight and the movie itself. Here our interview:
Can you talk about your role in The Dark Knight? Is it true you're going to portray boss Salvatore Maroni?
Yes, I'm portraying Salvatore Maroni, but director Christopher Nolan chose not to stay entirely true to the comic book version of Maroni.Did you know Sal Maroni was portrayed by Dennis Paladino in Batman Forever?
I didn't watch Dennis with that in mind, but now I will, so I can see the differences! I only saw BATMAN FOREVER when it first came out…Did you read any Batman comics before filming? Are you a Batman fan?
I am a moderate BATMAN fan, and a moderate reader of comics.
I really liked Michael Keaton in the Batman role. I liked his dry humor and how tormented he seemed.How did your casting happen? Did you contact the casting director of the movie, or did he contact you?
The casting director of the movie was in contact with ICM, my agency. I'm not sure which one of them initiated the call, but I had to meet with and audition for the director. Plus we showed them film from Heroes and other movies of mine, especially ones where I played Italian-American Mafia guys.When did you film your scenes?
We shot between May and October, 2007 in Chicago and the UK.How is director Christopher Nolan on set?
Chris was communicative and empathetic, but also very much a leader.And have you seen any scenes from the movie yet?
Have not seen any scenes. I felt we were doing some interesting stuff.What do you think about Heath Ledger's role, the Joker?
It's pretty brave to take on "The Joker" after Jack Nicholson. Heath was super.What about your next projects? Are you going to appear in some new movies?
I've just appeared in Hollywood Dreams with Keaton Simons, and I'll be in Witless protection with Larry The Cable Guy.
Starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Michael Hall and Gary Oldman, The Dark Knight opens in USA on July 18, 2008.
