Marion Cotillard, according to the french press [Le Figaro] is involved in Christopher Nolan's Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. We reported way back in August that Cotillard had been offered the role of either Selina Kyle or Talia Al Ghul, note [Selina Kyle not Catwoman].
The site states:
"Marion Cotillard in “Batman 3″. The actress, who is expecting a child in the spring with Guillaume Canet, will be scarce this year. She’ll do a single film and her choice fell on Batman 3. This blockbuster produced by Warner Bros.. enables her to work with the director Christopher Nolan, with whom she had turned very successful sci-fi Inception. Marion Cotillard will join the filming this summer in Los Angeles. She will share the bill with Anne Hathaway."
Sharing the bill seems quite a large role, no other info is out there right now, but you can expect further announcements quite soon. Talia Al Ghul has been linked to the final bat film for some time. To find out more about the character go here. Thanks to Cineheroes for the translation.
Update: It has been confirmed via THR that Cottilard is indeed in talks for Batman: The Dark Knight Rises.
"A rep for the actress in Paris said that her involvement in the film is currently in discussions, but nothing has been confirmed yet. WB France has yet to comment. The actress, who is pregnant and due in the spring, is discussing scheduling issues. The plan is for Cotillard to start shooting mid-June in London, film all summer in L.A. and Pittsburgh and wrap mid-November in New York."
