No Copplepot for Hoffman


According to MTV, Phillip Seymour Hoffman of course, denies this rumor casting.

“No one has talked to me about it ever — never,” replied Hoffman. “It
happened, like, five years ago, too. It was a rumor back then and it’s still a
rumor. [laughs] It’s just in the press. It’s funny.”

To further cement this issue, Hoffman added that he’d never met Nolan
(”Maybe I did or met him in passing?”) and that his interest in comic book
movies is purely on a fan level, and he intended to keep it that way.

That’s a shame, this was the only casting talk I agreed on, the rest are easily replaceable. I mentioned on the podcast, unintentional, when Rob was thinking of Hoffman, second choice would be Bob Hoskins, if you look at Hollywoodland, Hoskins was a cold hearted gangster working in the picture business and especially in Jet Lee’s Unleashed, he was ruthless.
