Matthew Modine Joins The Dark Knight Rises

Variety reports some late additions to The Dark Knight Rises. Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket) and Oscar-nominated actor Tom Conti (Reuben, Reuben) have joined the cast. Modine joins a list of 80's cult actors that Nolan seems to enjoy casting in small supporting roles. He carried the much loved Stanley Kubrick Vietnam film Full Metal Jacket so it will be interesting to see where ends up in the Dark Knight Rises.

The expectational cast already includes Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Alon Aboutboul, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Nestor Carbonell, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Burn Gorman, Diego Klattenhoff and Juno Temple.
