More Batman Begins news
Moviehole has some cryptic news about the upcoming Batman Begins sequel, including hints at who they want for the upcoming Joker role.
"This is the first screen appearance for this character in the Batman films and she has a very close connection with a major character in Nolan's first Batman movie. She will be out for revenge against Bruce Wayne and Gotham in a major way. As of who the studio is looking at for this role, let's just say that she is nominated for a SAG, a Golden Globe and is on her way to an Oscar nomination as well. She is also in fact five months pregnant and will be in tip top fighting shape once production begins to roll early next year but not before she throws a few coins in a fountain".
We're also told that every actor in town is interested in playing The Joker in the next film. Chris Nolan is pretty keen on getting 'a name' though.
"As you know, there are many actors who want the chance to do this character (The most requested Batman character next to Batman himself.) The studio is eyeing a major, major actor and Christopher Nolan himself is said to be just as excited as they are in nabbing him for the role. Who is he? Let's just say that he has a major film coming out this summer and it's a sequel to one of his biggest hits. In fact, his performance in the first movie was nominated for an Oscar. YES, they are looking at HIM if he is available for the role and rumor is that he might be interested depending on the script, which is being written right now".
I don't see why they have to be so mysterious about this crap. Do they want Gwyneth Paltrow to play the Joker? Judi Dench? Stop with the games!
A few more Batman rumours to chew on [Moviehole]
UPDATE: The best guesses we've got so far are Rachel Weisz for the role of Ra's Al Ghul's daughter Talia, and Johnny Depp for the role or the Joker.

Ghost Rider teaser poster
If the quality of a movie were based entirely on its poster, I'm sure Ghost Rider would get four out of four stars. Unfortunately, things don't quite work out that way and, judging by the preview teaser, Ghost Rider isn't going to be nearly as fantastic as the poster makes it seem. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the only way for Ghost Rider to be a gauranteed box office hit is if they eliminate all the CGI effects and actually light Nicholas Cage's head on fire. And then if they want, they can have him ride a motorcycle around and maybe swing a chain. It doesn't really matter, as long as his head is actually on fire.

Kristanna Loken topless sex scene from Bloodrayne
I know there are some of you out there who are contemplating throwing down the $10 necessary to watch Bloodrayne just for the gratuitous nudity and sex scenes. Well being the last shred of sanity in that crazy world of yours, I've taken the liberty of posting Kristanna Loken's topless sex scene from the movie. It probably won't be enough to satiate your perverted appetites, but it should at least be enough to stop you from supporting Uwe Boll in any possible way. The guy directed House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark for crap's sake. If sending an ebola infested monkey to bite him in the testicles is the only way to stop him from making anymore movies, then damnit somebody find me a monkey and a syringe filled with ebola.

David Fincher directs Torso
According to The Hollywood Reporter, David Fincher is set to direct Torso, a thriller based on Brian Michael Bendis' graphic novel of the same name. I've been waiting years for a Brian Michael Bendis property to become a movie, and it's totally fitting that a super awesome genius like David Fincher be behind the camera. Although it would have been an even better choice if they had set David Fincher to direct Powers instead. If you're not up to date on your comic books, check out Powers and tell me Fincher wouldn't make a bad ass movie out of it. It'd be so bad ass that other asses would pack up their bags and leave the state out of fear of all the badness that this ass would bring.

Patrick Stewart Too Old To Fly Starship
Patrick Stewart, a bald actor, claims he has been approached to reprise the popular role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in another Star Trek film, but worries his age may be an issue if they wait too long. Says Stewart:
Weighty people in Hollywood have come up with a very interesting proposition. But they told me it was still two, three or four years down the road, by which time I would only be able to sit in the captain's chair and not have the energy to get out of it!While Star Trek fans were upset by the news that 65-year-old Stewart may not return to the series, more upsetting was the reminder that they too were sitting in a chair without the energy to get out.

Damon, Affleck To Wear Chaps
Hoping to ruin another American classic, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have announced to OK! magazine that they will be teaming up to remake Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, with Damon playing the Sundance Kid and Affleck playing Butch Cassidy. Though no reason is mentioned for why they would attempt to recreate the famous picture, nominated for 7 Oscars in 1970, I offer up this possibility: Brokeback Mountain wasn't gay enough.
