Matthew Modine is the now-obligatory '80s actor in The Dark Knight Rises
In keeping with Christopher Nolan’s charitable aims of providing ’80s actors with late-career blockbusters, Matthew Modine has been added to the cast of The Dark Knight Rises, joining an esteemed ensemble of guys like Rutger Hauer, Eric Roberts, Anthony Michael Hall, and Tom Berenger who have all appeared in Nolan films in supporting roles. And of course, Modine’s Full Metal Jacket character gave Variety the opportunity to use the “Joker in Dark Knight Rises” gag already, leaving only useless scraps like Gross Anatomy or Married To The Mob to play with, unfortunately for you.
