The Sun is reporting the new Batman movie is moving forward with a a bunch of familiar names being cast as names you wished weren't in movies. Eddie Murphy has been cast as the Riddler, Shia LaBeouf as Robin and Rachel Weisz as Catwoman. Please someone explain to me why Shia LaBeouf keeps getting hired, and this film isn't a Spielberg movie? They would be better with Zac Efron as Robin. When it comes to Eddie Murphy as Riddler, it is just wrong. This just went to my must not see list, unless these castings remain rumored.
UPDATE: According to Batman-On-Film Shia and Eddie are thankfully NOT part of Batman 3!!!
xoxo Dane for the update!
Page Six is saying that one of the names being tossed into the top hat of the seventh season of Dancing with the Stars is the original Batman Adam West!!!
He rep said, “Adam is in outstanding shape,” said a source. “He works out an hour a day and walks with his big dog on his farm in Sun Valley, Idaho.”
I hope that ABC puts him on the show because if the rumors are true that Cloris Leachman and him are doing it will be the first season in a long time that I will be really excited for the show. Now if only ABC would drop Dan Marino and Toni Braxton I would be even happier. Please please please drop Dan Marino one Miami football player is enough and Warren Sapp is much more interesting and enjoyable to watch!
Kevin VanHook, who wrote and directed Haunted Prison, The Fallen Ones and Voodoo Moon, is back doing his first love comic books. He just finished the 6-part series Superman and Batman Vs. Vampires and Werewolves. I am not a comic book reader and I want to run out and buy it. It has a little something for every comic book reader a little Superheroes and a some mythological creatures!
A man is killed by a mysterious creature — his body drained of blood. A woman is savagely attacked by a ferocious beast — her jugular ripped out. Bat wings flutter across the moon and the howl of a wolf echoes through the streets, for the creatures of the night have risen from the grave, and humanity's only salvation is the combined might of The Last Son of Krypton and The Dark Knight Detective. Blood will run red when Superman and Batman face off against vampires and werewolves for the fate of the entire DCU! 32 pages, $2.99, in stores on Oct. 15 and Oct. 29.
Can't wait until October to pick up Superman and Batman Vs. Vampires and Werewolves, run to your comic book store and buy it now in Diamond Previews.
BTW Kevin VanHook is also wrapping a documentary, Fantastic Flesh about make-up FX that is slated to air on Starz! on October 28th. Seeing what he has done with his past movies, I can't wait to see what he does with this documentary. October is Kevin VanHook's months, so make sure to support him by buying Superman and Batman Vs. Vampires and Werewolves and watching Fantastic Flesh!
Christian Bale should be enjoying the record-breaking success of Batman, but instead he is being questioned by the Scotland Yard for allegedly assaulting his mother and sister according to Sky News.
Bale, 34, is alleged to have lashed out at the two family members in his suite at Park Lane's Dorchester Hotel on Sunday.
The British actor, who plays the Caped Crusader, is being questioned at a central London police station, sources added.
The two women, who live in Dorset, went to a Hampshire police station yesterday to make a formal allegation.
The complaint about the actor was then passed to the Metropolitan Police for further investigation.
A police spokeswoman said: "A 34-year-old man attended a central London police station this morning by appointment.
"He was arrested in connection with an allegation of assault. He currently remains in custody."
Maybe because I have been watching Cristian Bale movies since he was a kid, there is something about this that just seems off. Why attack his mother and sister during what should have been the best weekend of his life. But then again, you just never know. I am sure more will come out as the day goes on.
What a way of focusing the spotlight off of Heath Ledger and on to someone else who is the movie.
Terminator 4 or Terminator Salvation is not out until next summer, but by looking at the trailer it looks like Christian Bale will also have next summer’s biggest movie like he will this summer with The Dark Knight!
Hopefully soon he will get an Oscar because he sincerely has sone such an amzing job at whatever type of role he is given like in Newsies, American Psycho, Little Woman and Batman.
