‘The Dark Knight’ To Be Re-released?
The Dark Knight has been an absolute phenomenon this year. Not only is it the highest-grossing film of the year by a long way, it’s also the second highest-grossing film at the box office of all time, behind Titanic. The film has also prompted calls for Oscar nominations to be given to the cast and crew, with Heath Ledger the most obvious candidate for his portrayal of The Joker. But the Academy Awards voting season is a long way off, so what to do? Easy, re-release the film in January to remind eve

Dark Knight Returns for Oscar Run
Ok, so we loved The Dark Knight like everyone else. We saw it at the IMAX at an ungodly hour and all that. And we agree with all the early Oscar blather for Heath Ledger as the Joker, etc. But, just in case anyone missed it, or if certain people might forget it, Warner Bros. will be re-releasing Christopher Nolan's second Batman feature in January, at prime Oscar voting season, Reuters reports (via the NYT). It's unclear if the release will be nationwide, or just in theaters sure to draw Oscar voters, who

Two Face Not Returning.. He's Dead
This post contains spoilers so if for some reason you have not seen Dark Knight do not read this. In captain obvious moment of the day ComingSoon has confirmed that Two Face will not be in the Dark Knight sequel. How many of you can guess why? Yeah.. its because he is DEAD. No, I’m not coming back. I think unfortunately, Heath [Ledger] was supposed to go on and that didn’t work out. I’m nobody. I’m a cog. I have no say over this sort of stuff. I’m sure that there’s s

The Imaginarium of Dr. Pranassus
With the death of Heath Ledger and the obvious brilliance of his portrayal of the Joker in Dark Knight there’s been a lot of talk about it being his finest performance ever, his final performance - but that’s not exactly true. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was in the midst of filming when Ledger overdosed, and there was worry that it wasn’t going to be finished - Dark Knight was his final COMPLETE performance, but there is more to come. Hollywood was skeptical, to say the best. Tha

Dark Night Oscar Watch part 55
Warner Bros really wants that Oscar for The Dark Knight and they are not going to stop until they get it. I also know a few of the execs over there are secretly high-fiving each other over Heath Ledger's death, because it really helps their case. The WB plans to re-release The Dark Knight in January, the height of Academy voting season, as a "reminder for people." You think the fact that it is the second-highest-grossing movie ever would be enough, but studios like their little statues. And why not it is

‘DARK KNIGHT’ EXCLUSIVE: Michael Caine Says Johnny Depp Is The Riddler, Philip Seymour Hoffman Is The Penguin
It’s one of the biggest — and most hotly debated — questions in fandom…which actors (and characters) will director Christopher Nolan enlist as a villain for his third “Batman” film? Rumors have abounded since the release of “The Dark Knight,” and Nolan has remained fiercely tight-lipped. But now, has one of his main players revealed some of the biggest casting news of the decade? In an interview with MTV News conducted just hours ago at the Toronto Film Festival, Michael Caine — there t

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

The Dark Knight to Get Another Round in Theaters, January '09

'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.

Johnny Depp as the Riddler, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin!
Well, this is some inspired casting if I ever saw it. In a new article over at MTV, we’ve got new casting news for the next Batman movie straight from the mouth of Michael Caine himself: In an interview with MTV News conducted just hours ago at the Toronto Film Festival, Michael Caine — there to promote “Is There Anybody There?” — seemed to confirm rumors that the next installment of the “Batman” film franchise will feature two very well-known names playing the roles of The Riddler and th

400 Screens, 400 Blows - Where Are They Now?
I don't know about anyone else, but I thought that was a pretty exceptional summer, as far as good, entertaining movies went. I've seen summers in which almost every movie seemed mediocre and not one standout ever emerged (2000 and 2006, for example). But this year, there were at least five standouts and at least five more really good movies. Call me crazy, but I caught up with Speed Racer on DVD this week, and even that one didn't seem so bad. (Sure, it's no Iron Man. I think it probably plays better on th

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
