The Dark Knight Rises
Director Christopher Nolan says he ultimately decided to make this movie because “ it was about finishing the story ” — just more confirmation that yes , this will be the final Nolan Batman picture show . He also refused to comment on the fact that Anne Hathaway has only technically been herald as toy Selina Kyle , and not her alter ego Catwoman . Of course , conceive this is his final film , there would n’t seem to be much point in bringing her in , only to keep off show us Catwoman as well . [ ComingSoon.net ]
Captain America
Here ’s the new back of Empire cartridge showing Chris Evans in costume as Captain America — we can likely expect higher quality versions of both of the magazine ’s Cap photo in the near hereafter . The article include interviews with the creative team , and in this snip Marvel Studios executive Kevin Feige explains why this playscript was perfect for what they want to do :
“ Scripts had been developed that took place one-half in World War Two , half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume terminate up overshadowing the man . So we at last enjoin , ‘ If we could make a Captain America flick any way we wanted to make it , how would we make it ? ’ Well , we ’d set the entire pic in the past , in that period , with all of the Marvel trimmings . And so we made the fun , rush - ass Captain America movie we wanted to . ”
And music director Joe Johnston explain why this plastic film reminds him of Raiders of the Lost Ark :
“ I ’ve always loved Raiders and the flavor that it had . It was period but did n’t experience like it was made in the period . It feel like a modern - 24-hour interval film about the period , which is what we ’re doing on Captain America . It will not feel like a warfare pic . It ’s amusing where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action . ”
Finally , Chris Evans explains why Captain America really does have international appeal :
“ I recall he ’s the idealistic homo . Not just American . It ’s what being a beneficial soul is . Steve ’s care to subdue all the shortcomings he ’s had in life and he does what ’s good and what he believes is veracious . ”
Once the magazine is out , we should be see more of the consultation . [ imperium ]

James Bond
Javier Bardem has reportedly been tender the starring role opposite Daniel Craig in the next bail movie . The role is almost certainly that of the chief villain , so here ’s hop they abandon any presence of originality and just mark James Bond against No Country for Old Men ’s Anton Chigurh . In any event , this is just a rumour for now , and nothing is confirmed . [ Deadline ]
John Carter of Mars
Andrew Stanton explain that they are hard at oeuvre on the effects work that will make up the bulk of the flick . He also hint at what Mars will attend like in his film :
“ I ’m not in post - product – I ’m in digital principal picture taking now , which go on for the rest of 2011 , so I ’m only halfway through the movie . I did n’t endeavor to make it depend like anything else . I really tried to make it its own matter . I tried to make a very historically accurate Martian film if that hit sense , so I ’ll let you decipher that . ”
Well , since he asked … I ’d guess that the movie ’s reading of Mars is very much in keep back with how scientist and/or writer imagined Mars in the late nineteenth / early 20th C , coetaneous with the original John Carter stories . you’re able to check out the full interview at the liaison .

adult male in Black 3
It would appear a fairly major part still has n’t been range :
FEMALE ( 20s ; Caucasic ) – OLIVIA . She is the sassy , pretty English assistant to Agent Ex , headway of the Men In Black ( circa 1969 ) . risible , charismatic and warm , she is usually the smart somebody in the room .

Doctor Who
We ’re reaching critical mass for Doctor Who spoilers , so let ’s alternate correctly into it . Production is presently underway for Steven Moffat ’s instalment seven , which is the first one-half of the season - spanning cliffhanger . Simon Fisher - Becker ’s CV lists his blue - skinned applied science dealer – who we first saw with River in The Pandorica Opens – as being called Dorium Maldavar . More intriguingly , he is listed as appearing in an episode shout “ Demons Run ” – and signs on the positioning filming for that episode showing that particular phrase . So it would come out “ Demons Run ” is the title … now we just have to figure out whether the omitted apostrophe was designed or not . [ medico Who raider ]
That same sign of the zodiac that reveals the title of episode 7 also features a foreign fresh logo that we have n’t seen before . It ’s suppose to be the logotype of the Clerics , the church - go army seen in “ Time of the Angels”/”Flesh and Stone ” , as it resembles the while fag out by the soldiers and River Song in those episodes . The logotype merge the symbolization of the US Air Force , Chrysler … and the Grecian varsity letter Omega . Of naturally , Omega is the name of the legendary Time Lord that menaced the Doctor a couple times in the classic series , and has been widely rumored to return since the beginning of series five . So this might be the first tinge of Omega ’s role in the proceeding … although it ’s so minor that it might just be included as a little in - joke by the production team , and Omega is n’t really make out back . [ lifetime , Doctor Who , & Combom ]
As for the monsters in “ Demons Run ” , we can now corroborate that at least one Sontaran have an appearing , as Dan Starkey ’s curriculum vitae lists him as a Sontaran in this episode . He previously play Commander Skorr in “ The Sontaran Stratagem”/”The Poison Sky ” , among other newfangled serial publication roles . The Cybermen have also been spotted on set for this episode , although we still do n’t have any substantiation of the rumors that the original series Mondasian Cybermen will appear . [ Doctor WhoSpoilers ]
Now onto episode three . This smear was originally concern by Neil Gaiman ’s episode , but that episode has now been moved to the quaternary position , with Mark Gatiss ’s “ What Are minuscule Boys Made Of ? ” moving to the second half of the time of year . This new sequence three is spell by Sherlock writer Steven Thompson . Casting is coming together very quickly , and there are some exciting names for fans of prestige TV , as Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville is playing a pirate captain name Avery – who may or may not be the veridical life pirateJohn Avery(also get laid as Henry Every ) , arguably the most successful plagiarist of all time . If so , this is n’t the first time Avery has figured in Doctor Who — William Hartnell ’s penultima story “ The Smugglers ” is all about the search for Avery ’s Au . The episode is currently take down in Cornwall , which is where “ The Smugglers ” was arrange . So yeah … this episode might feature the most awesomely unsung in - gag and past tarradiddle credit in Doctor Who history . I ’m excited . [ The Dr. Who News Page ]
Finally , a few more casting notes . misfit doer Danny Sapani ( he plays probation officer Tony Morecombe ) will seem in the new episode 3 as Colonel Manton . Lee Ross , who played Gene Hunt ’s arch - nemesis Litton on Life on Mars and Ashes to ash , is playing the bo’s’n , drive us yet another tiny step closer to DCI Hunt himself raging into the TARDIS in some future episode . And , fit back to “ Demons Run ” , Annabel Cleare and her young son Henry are both in the episode , spiel what the older Cleare describes as “ pocket-size ” role .
