Turner Classic Movies has an off set interview with Michael Caine. Part of the interview discusses some projects that he is interested in and brief blurb about the upcoming Batman Begins sequel.
You don?t retire from the movies, they retire you. The scripts stop coming or the money is too small to make it worthwhile getting up in the morning. The way I work, I regard myself as retired; I only come out of retirement for offers I can?t refuse. I haven?t worked for a year but I wanted to play Batman?s butler, I wanted to play Nicole?s dad in Bewitched and there?s another film, The Weatherman where I played Nicolas Cage?s dad. They were all parts that fascinated me. I wasn?t ready for a lead after The Quiet American, which was a tough role for me and cured me of playing leads for a while.
Now I will do something there are three pictures I want to do, small parts. One [Children of Men, released September 2006] is with Alfonso Cuaron who directed Y tu Mama Tambien, I wanted to work with him and then Christopher Nolan who directed Batman is doing a smaller film called The Prestige about magicians and it?s very interesting. And we?re going to make The Joker next year.
The way that he refers to is as "The Joker" could be a hint at either the production title or the tentative title for the sequel. Just speculation, but it is cool to see that he wanted to play Alfred.
