Joseph Gordon-Levitt offers 'sincere sympathies' following movie massacre

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the latest The Dark Knight Rises star to offer his condolences following a shooting at a Colorado screening of the new movie.

Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway, as well as director Christopher Nolan and composer Hans Zimmer, have voiced their devastation at the Friday morning (20Jul12) tragedy, which cost 12 film fans their lives.

Gordon-Levitt has now added his own comments about the massacre, writing in a post on his Twitter.com page, "My most sincere sympathies go out to the families of the victims in Aurora."

James Holmes appeared in court in Colorado on Monday morning (23Jul12), when he was officially told he is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder. Holmes allegedly opened fire on cinemagoers at the midnight screening of the blockbuster.
