Shooting starts on the 'Batman Begins' movie
04/03/2004 . Source: Jessica Martin 
Gary Oldman joins the cast of the new 'Bats' film. This time he plays a good guy! 'Batman Begins', director Christopher Nolan's new film, has commenced production in Iceland, with old British ham Gary Oldman joining the all-star cast.
In the 'Batman Begins' prequel, Oldman is to play Lieutenant James Gordon, not yet chief of police, but a detective on the Gotham police force.
The film stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman; Michael Caine as long suffering butler Alfred; Katie Holmes as Rachel (a childhood friend of Wayne's); Liam Neeson as Wayne's mentor, Henri Ducard; Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, a former board member and sidelined employee of Wayne Enterprises; and Ken Watanabe as the villanous Ra's Al Ghul.
Directed by Christopher Nolan from a screenplay by David Goyer and Christopher Nolan, 'Batman Begins' is produced by Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Larry Franco. The executive producers are Ben Melniker and Michael Uslan.
Batman Begins is scheduled to film in Iceland, London and Chicago.
The film, which explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham, will be released worldwide in Summer 2005 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
