Oldman dishes on ‘Dark Knight’ sequel shooting

SAN DIEGO — Gary Oldman had come to Comic-Con to support “The Book of Eli,” but is dishing about “The Dark Knight” instead.

The 51-year-old actor says the sequel to Batman the mega-hit will start shooting next year and likely be released the following.

“But you didn’t hear it from me,” he quipped.

Oldman stars opposite Denzel Washington in “The Book of Eli,” set to open in January of 2010.
