Anne expresses her sympathy for the victims of the horrific movie theater shooting. Anne released a statement to HollywoodLife.com exclusively. Read on for details.
In the aftermath of the terrifying movie theater massacre, where 12 people were killed when a crazed gunman opened fire during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises, Anne Hathaway, who plays Selina/Catwoman in the final installment of the Batman trilogy, has broken her silence and made a statement.
Anne just returned to the U.S. from Paris, where the Dark Knight Rises premiere was cancelled following the tragedy in Aurora, and also wanted to issue a statement in addition to the earlier statement released by director Christopher Nolan on behalf of the whole cast.
Anne told HollywoodLife.com exclusively, “My heart aches and breaks for the lives taken and altered by this unfathomably senseless act. I am at a loss for words how to express my sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.”
Our thoughts continue to be with the victims of this horrific event and their families.
– Christopher Rogers

Well done to Director Nolan, Bale, Hathaway, and anybody else who wasn’t afraid to speak out on such a horrific tragedy such as this. This guy Holmes appears to have gone off his rocker fast. Being an honor student, why would you suddenly throw your success away on a dime just so you can murder a dozen people in a theater for no legitimate reason? Something obviously inspired this fruitcake to go out on a whim. Some people have said that maybe it was due to Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker or other characters within the Batman franchise, but to me, that remains unconfirmed. After all, he did dye his hair red and dress in a trenchcoat style uniform, which is beyond creepy. Glad to hear the psycho was caught though. Hope he gets the punishment he deserves!
Although not in Colorado, I also went to the midnight premiere of this film, and had a great time. The audience in my theater was very excited, yet remained professional about it. In fact, I think that this film was even better than the last. Although Heath Ledger did a good job on putting a new spin on The Joker, it was a little too dark for me, but I suppose he and Nolan were looking to be as authentic as possible when speaking in terms of staying as close to the original comics as possible, as from what I understand, The Joker and other characters within the series were actually pretty dark to begin with.
