Gary Oldman has said that he may be one of the few Dark Knight Rises cast to know the film's ending.
The Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy actor explained that director Christopher Nolan has been so eager to keep details of the project secret that scripts were sent out with pages missing.
Oldman told Contactmusic: "Christopher doesn't want anyone to ruin it and I completely understand that. The newer people on the film go to his office to read the script.
"They sent mine out, but it had to be hand-delivered directly to me and nobody else. And the final few pages were missing.
"I went along and talked to Christopher and in person about the ending. Then I locked it away in my head."

Fellow Batman star Joseph Gordon-Levitt has also urged fans to avoid spoilers, insisting that viewers "will have the best experience if [they] just trust" Nolan.
