After Rachel McAdams was suggested to be the next Rachel Dawes, the rumor mill has begun to churn for The Dark Knight with yet another femalia being added to the list. Though I'm happy with McAdams -- but, then again, who isn't? -- Devil Wears Prada star Emily Blunt will get inked on to the growing list of suspects.
Emily Blunt the New Dawes for Dark Knight?
The good people over at CinemaBlend claim to have the inside track on The Dark Knight including a new bit of info on Katie Holmes: she didn't leave the project as announced, but was dropped by the studio. Other than the Holmes gossip, the site also says Warner Bros. is now looking to Emily Blunt.
Obviously Chris Nolan is actively looking for someone to take over Katie Holmes’ Rachel Dawes character in the new Batman film. Earlier this week rumor had it that they were considering Rachel McAdams for the part, but according to one of our regular scoopers, they may end up going with Devil Wears Prada star Emily Blunt. Word is that the folks behind the Batman Begins sequel are impressed with her, and may bring Blunt in to read for the role.
For the time being this news has been marked as a 'wild rumor.' But, if it does turn out to be true, then that would mean she is being considered, which isn't much.
