No Penguin in ‘Dark Knight’ Sequel?
The rumored casting of Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin was said to be confirmed by Alfred himself Michael Caine while in Toronto. So is it true? MTV went straight to the source and asked Hoffman himself, he says no. “No one has talked to me about it ever — never,” replied Hoffman. “It happened, like, five years ago, too. It was a rumor back then and it’s still a rumor. [laughs] It’s just in the press. It’s funny.” If he’s officially offered the r

‘Dark Knight’ plans rerelease
More literally, Warner Bros. wants a statuette — or 10 — for “The Dark Knight.” So the studio plans to rerelease its blockbuster Batman sequel in January, the height of Academy Awards voting season. “It’s just a matter of bringing it back as a reminder for people,” a studio insider said. Warners domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with Imax executives about the prospect of restoring the Christian Bale starrer to some number of gi

The Dark Knight to Get Another Round in Theaters, January '09
Even though The Dark Knight has gone above and beyond the line of duty at the box office, earning an estimated $512 million domestically, Warner Bros. has announced it will get a re-release in January 2009. The Hollywood Reporter notes: Warner Bros. domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with IMAX execs over the prospect of restoring the Christian Bale starrer to some giant-screen venues in January. It's uncertain if Dark Knight also will reappear in conventional venues at

Batman In The Movies - Sillier than ‘Swear to ME!’
Glad to see I’m not the only one. When I first saw The Dark Knight in early July, one of my biggest issues was the over-the-top, obscenely goofy vocal put-on that Christian Bale affected for Batman. Whether it was aided by audio effects, or whether Bruce Wayne himself uses a voice modifier on his suit, it’s still a silly voice. Sounding basically like a young weakling trying to sound older and more bad-ass, it’s been compared to McGruff: The Crime Dog and it’s been compared to ’

Fanboy Bites: 'Terminator Salvation', 'Star Trek' and 'Sherlock Holmes'
It's the end of the world as we know it ... and I have a good feeling about Chris Pine. Terminator Salvation: Will the Governator show up in the new Terminator film? While Arnold won't be officially reprising his role in the flesh, word has it the legendary action star turned Governor of California was on set providing voice work so that those Hollywood effects wizards could take his old face and put it on someone else's bulked-up body ... and still have the Arnold we all know and love. Latino Review is cu

Arnold Meets Bale On “Terminator” Set, Will He Be Back?
It’s been assumed for some time now that the original Terminator would make an appearance (however so small) in McG’s big-budget sequel Terminator: Salvation, and we’ve just received our best evidence yet: this picture of a meeting of the minds between Salvation star Christian Bale and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. A source over at LatinoReview claims that “The premise of Arnie’s involvement is to have a fully rendered digital face of Arnie replacing the recently cast Roland

Johnny Depp Confirmed for ‘Dark Knight’ Sequel?
Caine tells MTV that he asked a Warner Bros. executive, “How the hell are we going to top Heath?” He was told, “I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.” I don’t know if it’s possible to top Heath Ledger as Joker, but that combination certainly at least gives you a shot Except I don’t really see this as any sort of casting confirmation. The unnamed WB exec never actually said they had them or were even pursuing them, it sounds

'Batman' Alumni Christian Bale & Arnold Schwarzenegger Step Out In Hollywood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- It was a sci-fi lovers dream when Batman star Christian Bale stepped out for lunch with a former Batman baddie, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, in the Brentwood neighborhood of LA this past Sunday. Christian and Arnold have more in common than appearing in films about the caped-crusader. Arnold starred in "Terminator(s) 1, 2 & 3," pursuing Sarah Connor, then protecting a young John Connor (twice). Christian is currently filming the fourth installment in the series -- "Terminator: Sal

3 Of A Kind - Best Part 3s in Film History
With summer winding down and everyone taking stock, now is a good time to reflect on what comes next. The big story of the summer was of course the colossal success of The Dark Knight. But, with success comes possibly insurmountable expectations. Obviously Warner will get a third Batman film one way or another, but whether Chris Nolan, Christian Bale, and Gary Oldman will be involved Still Remains a mystery (come what may, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are sure to return). There has been talk that Nolan

No TDK sequel???
HOLY unfinished trilogy—I can reveal that the sequel to this summer’s blockbuster Batman movie The Dark Knight may NEVER be made. Why? Because director Christopher Nolan doesn’t think he can do it without Heath Ledger. After Ledger’s death this year, Aaron Eckhart looked like being the new villain. But he’s let slip Nolan’s having second thoughts. Eckhart said: “Chris hasn’t said he’s going to make a third film. I think he wants to make other movies.” source wtf-ever. I don't believe

'Dark Knight' To Be Re-Released Come Awards Season
In a combined effort to boost its box office receipts enough to become the highest-grossing film of all time (which it won't) and boost its awards profile enough to garner some Oscars (which it might), That Juggernaut Which We Call The Dark Knight will be re-released this coming January, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's the month when the awards rush is high and the mainstream competition is low, and any chance to see it in the IMAX format (had ye missed it, for shame) should be relished regardles

The Bat is Back…Soon
A studio source said that the re-release will hopefully serve as a reminder for people, although many are speculating that with the box office total currently at $512, Warner’s real push is to finally dethrone Titanic once and for all.  Godspeed, Batman…Godspeed Related postsChristian Bale Arrested?Dark Knight Does Not DisappointThe Knight Is Almost Upon UsThe Dark Knight Premieres In NYLedger’s Performance Is No Joke Tags | Batman, Christian Bale, dark knight

Arnold Spotted With Christian Bale. Terminator Cameo?
So does this mean there is going to be a cameo from Arnold Schwarzenegger in the upcoming Terminator Salvation? Could be, but since the main photography happened in New Mexico, and this image was taken in Brentwood California, it’s more likely that there might be an Arnie voice over bit in the film. We’ll have to wait and see! Source: Zimbio    POSTED BY: Nick Wolfwood Related Posts ‘The Dark Knight’ Talks ‘Salvation’Christian Bale Says He Is NOT a Sex SymbolCh

CHRISTIAN BALE: SUPERDAD
In the morning, the humble actor kept it casual as he stopped in at a local Ralph’s to pick up some necessities for the day to come. Later in the afternoon he played the role of super dad as he stopped at a nearby house to pick up his adorably precocious daughter Emmeline from a pool party. The duo seemed very happy to see one another, smiling as they made their way to the car. Christian kept a hold on her tiny hand as they crossed the street, and helped her safely into their family SUV before making

Schwarzenegger In Terminator Salvation?
Regular readers of MovieBlaze will know by now that I’ m not the kind of person to chuck around rumour and hearsay willy-nilly. No, i like to deal in cold, hard facts (mostly!) but this little titbit of information (gleamed from the good people at www.zimbio.com) has piqued my interest. Terminator Salvation star Christian Bale has been seen chatting with the original T-800, Arnold Schwarzenegger, on the set of McG’s hotly anticipated flick. Clearly, such a momentous meeting has fuelled s

Schwarznegger gets some SALVATION?
Well it sucks to be actor Roland Kickinger if today’s unconfirmed reports over at Latino Review are to be believed. Only a few months ago, the bodybuilder got his big break in the film industry by landing the role of the T-800 in Terminator Salvation, essentially playing the Arnold Schwarznegger model from the original films but I just wonder if he knew this would be there plan all along. It’s a shame that they are doing this. Hasn’t the Bond and the Batman franchises taught Warner Bros.

A batch of new photos have popped up at Zimbio showing Christian Bale and his wife chatting with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife. If you run your mouse over the image, you can hear bits of the conversation, or you can watch the meet-up from a distance on YouTube. I’ve also included a close-up of Arnold’s hand. Just Jared confirms that Arnold visited the Terminator: Salvation set. As expected, today brings further speculation about Arnold’s contribution, however small, to McG’s Terminator reboot.
