Rumor Mill: Has Terminator 4 been Terminated?
Has Terminator 4 been Terminated? UGO’s Movie Blog claims that a crew member “was recently overheard discussing his newfound free schedule due to the production shutting down.” For now we’ll mark this rumor as unconfirmed and hope for clarification, confirmation, or denial from the Halcyon Company in the coming days.

Dark Knight: Great Review from Variety
Having memorably explored the Caped Crusader's origins in "Batman Begins," director Christopher Nolan puts all of Gotham City under a microscope in "The Dark Knight," the enthralling second installment of his bold, bracing and altogether heroic reinvention of the iconic franchise.

That should also hold true at

Christian Bale: Ledger had ‘wonderful time’ as Joker
Those who say Heath Ledger’s tragic death from a drug overdose was somehow related to the late actor’s work playing the Joker in upcoming Batman epic “The Dark Knight” are ignorant and wrong, the film’s star said Monday. “Personally, I find it to be a complete lack of understanding of acting,” Christian Bale told TODAY’s Matt Lauer in New York. “I also found it very rude to try to create some kind of a sound bite for such a tragedy. The man was a complex man, he’s a good man. I saw hi
