Adrien Brody Wants To Wear More Makeup
Following rumors that Josh Lucas is up for the role of Harvey Dent in the next Batman film, a sequel to Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, Adrien Brody has thrown his hat into the ring for the role of The Joker. As reported on Moviehole
Brody tells USA Today that he loved Batman Begins and hopes to be considered for the role of the jovial assassin in the next chapter.
"I would love to play The Joker. I think he would be deformed and creepier."
Brody later elaborated that his joker would be "deformed and creepier" not because of his interpretation of the psychopathic character, but because he's actually deformed and creepy.

Rocky Balboa is actually filming
The Rocky Balboa Blog has the first official image from the new Rocky Balboa film. You can see for yourself that it's utterly disappointing, but at least it's more proof that they're actually going through with this. And not just going through with it, but taking it seriously. If I were directing this bad boy, I'd trash whatever script they've got now and just film scene after scene of Sylvester Stallone old-people stuff. Like yelling at the TV and forgetting where he put his reading glasses. And then every 15 minutes or so, a boxing glove would appear on screen and knock him out.
Randy Quaid To Wear Cowboy Hat, Stupid Glasses
To the joy of America's white trash community, the writers of Glory Road are said to be scripting a biopic on NASCAR legend Richard Petty to be played by Randy Quaid. Petty is best known for his seven championship wins, 700 top ten finishes, and looking like a cowboy unibomber. Upon hearing the news, NASCAR fans celebrated the only way they know: with racial intolerance.

Aquaman Wears Briefs
AquamanTV reports that the role of Aquaman in the upcoming WB pilot is rumored to have been cast by actor/model Will Toale. Though a virtual unknown, Toale gained some recognition in 2003's Uptown Girls in the role of "Briefs Model." With Aquaman, The WB hopes to capture the untapped demographic of those who didn't think Smallville was gay enough.
Indiana Jones 4 Stars Elderly
In an interview with IESB over the weekend, Frank Marshall confirmed that following The Bourne Ultimatum, work will begin on the long-anticipated fourth Indiana Jones. This comes as exciting news to fans, who have waited since 1989 for another chapter of the popular saga, but as bad news to Harrison Ford's hips. Because old people easily break their hips!
Travolta and Allen are 'Wild Hogs,' 'Bad Actors'
John Travolta and Tim Allen are reportedly in talks to star in Wild Hogs, a new comedy written by Arrested Development scribe Brad Copeland. The script involves a group of middle-aged suburban men looking for adventure on motorcycle, only to run into a group of Hell's Angels, kind of like Charly without the mental disability part. The information came as particularly good news to Allen, who is grateful for any role that isn't another Santa Clause.
