Marion Cotillard Joins ‘Batman: The Dark Knight Rises’ Cast
April 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Marion Cotillard has been cast alongside a few of her ‘Inception’ co-stars in the third Batman film. We first learned that Tom Hardy would be portraying Bane, the super intelligent/strong villain. Next Anne Hathaway scored the much sought after Catwoman role. Joseph Gordon Levitt was then revealed to have joined the cast as The Holiday Killer. He was also rumored to be attached to the role of The Riddler, but both notions were wrong.
Joseph Gordon Levitt Cast in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
March 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The official cast for the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Batman’ series is finally taking shape. Another name has been added to the list of villains the superhero will take on in the third Batman film, ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’
Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine have been locked down while the rest of the ensemble has seen every rumor from Eddie Murphy being given the role of The Riddler to Angelina Jolie as Catwoman.
As Nolan finalizes the script, casting for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ has finally gotten serious. Joseph Gordon Levitt has officially joined the lineup after he was rumored to be auditioning and a serious contender. IMBD had him listed as a credited cast several months ago before removing his name from the lineup.
Levitt has returned to the list and is said to have nabbed the role of Alberto Falcone aka The Holiday Killer. Initial rumors attached him to the role of The Riddler, but soon changed direction and rumbled that he would be Robin. I recalled Nolan promising that Robin would not make an appearance in his Batman reboots. So that one was obviously a miss, but according to Variety, Joseph will be portraying mafia boss Carmine Falcone’s outcast son. The character in the comic books targets Gotham City criminals and murders them on holidays.
Anne Hathaway was given the coveted role of Catwoman, but Marion Cotillard’s name is also attached to the project as a rumored new love interest. If Marion does join the film, it would reunite 3 members of Nolan’s other box office hit, ‘Inception.’ Tom Hardy was the first to join Bale, Oldman, Freeman and Caine. The teenage model turned actor was announced to be playing Bane. According to IMBD’s character description, he is one of Batman’s “most deadly and powerful foes” who boasts strength and a high IQ. He is also one of the very few villains who figures out the caped crusader’s real identity. (If you saw the 1997 franchise film…he was Poison Ivy’s henchman.)
With the news of Levitt joining the film, another casting rumor is thrown into the mix. Juno Temple is said to be up for a supporting role as a “street-smart Gotham girl.”

Oscars Nomination Snubs 2011
January 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The 2011 Academy Award nominees were announced early this morning. 10 films are up for Best Picture, including my pick for the win ‘Inception,’ however Christopher Nolan was notably snub from the Best Director nominees list. He also failed to make the directing list last year after the phenomenal success of ‘The Dark Knight.’
‘The Fighter’ is up for Best Picture. Christian Bale and Amy Adams each received nominations in for the film, but Mark Wahlberg was snubbed for his performance.
Golden Globe contenders ‘The Tourist’ and ‘Burlesque’ were also totally absent from every category. Both films failed to land a single nomination. Looks like Ricky Gervais was right.
Despite his heavy campaign efforts, Justin Timberlake was snubbed along with his co-star, Andrew Garfield. Ryan Gosling was generating huge Oscar buzz for his performance in ‘Blue Valentine,’ but didn’t make the list. Mila Kunis was another actress that we all assumed would make the cut. Unfortunately she too was snubbed. Barbara Hershey was another actress that should be on the list for her supporting performance in “The Black Swan.”

Tom Hardy Saving Lindsay Lohan
January 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I am pretty sure that only Jesus and Harry Potter (awesome tag team) could save Lindsay Lohan from drinking until her plasma is 90 proof and snorting anything she can fit through a rolled up $5 bill. I mean this is the girl who managed to violate her probation in rehab.
Regardless, Lindsay has been reportedly taken under the wing of new hotness/’Inception’ star, Tom Hardy.
“TMZ has learned LiLo has struck a friendship with Hardy recently after the pair were introduced by mutual friends. We’re told they even met for dinner one night last week. Sources tell us Tom is giving Lindsay advice on how to stay sober and Lindsay is seriously listening to him. Hardy famously battled addiction early on in his career and has been sober since 2003.”
Sorry Linds. There aren’t enough Gandhi quotes in the world that will ever convince me she doesn’t run out of vodka/tequila/whiskey/scotch and eye a bottle of Tilex with curiosity. (We’ve all been there.)

Tom Hardy Talks Gay Flings
July 29, 2010 By 1 Comment
‘Inception‘ star, Tom Hardy, isn’t afraid to admit that he dabbled in diddling other men.
In an interview with Now Magazine (via Daily Mail) Tom, who is currently engaged to Charlotte Riley, talks about his days experimenting with other men. Hardy was asked point blank if he had sex with other men to which he replied:
“As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for f**k’s sake. I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.
A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don’t feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine. I’d love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I’m not one of the boys.”
I love that we are embracing the slut thing in Hollywood. Gerard Butler is looking for a new VP now that Sienna Miller is on ho-leave with Jude Law. I also find it disturbingly interesting that he found the question dumb on the basis that he is an “an actor for f**k’s sake” thusly implying that playing with other people’s genitals is just part of the job.

Leonardo DiCaprio: My Child Star Competition Killed Themselves
July 22, 2010 By 2 Comments
Umm…ok. Leonardo DiCaprio talked about his involvement in the latest theatrical box office must-see, ‘Inception.’ He always uses big words like cathartic and existential, but in a candid and cold moment he talks about his rise from the child star ranks in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“I got to be wild and nuts, and I didn’t suffer as much as people do now, where they have to play it so safe that they ruin their credibility. I didn’t care what anyone thought…. It was also about avoiding the tornado of chaos, of potential downfall. It was, ‘Wow, how lucky are we to not have hung out with that crowd or done those things?’ My two main competitors in the beginning, the blond-haired kids I went to audition with, one hung himself and the other died of a heroin overdose… . I was never into drugs at all. There aren’t stories of me in a pool of my own vomit in a hotel room on the Hollywood Strip.”
He didn’t name names, but I believe that the “blond haired kid” who hung himself was Jonathan Brandis. Sad. Leo goes on to talk about his post Titanic fame and I question the interviewer use of time with DiCaprio…
On dating:
“I had better success meeting girls before Titanic. My interactions with them didn’t have all the stigma behind it, not to mention there wasn’t a perception of her talking to me for only one reason.”
On dealing with his Titanic fame:
“It was like there was a separate entity out there,” he says. “Not to use a James Cameron reference, but it was like being in a little bit of an avatar.” He cringes. “That’s going to sound extremely self- indulgent. It’s going to sound like, ‘Oh, I was a frickin’ avatar,’ give me a break, I’m already vomiting.”
How odd, me too!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt to be Riddler in Third Batman ?!!?
July 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment
After quietly raising his star power and nabbing a role in “Inception,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be cast in another career making role. Levitt is one of the few child stars to actually make a career for himself past the age 9. Currently he has nearly 60 appearances on tv and film on his resume.
As a third installment to Christopher Nolan’s Batman machine begins to take shape, casting rumors are running amok. The villain that will torture the Christian Bale’s hero hasn’t been announced but insiders are swearing it will be The Riddler.
Via First Showing:
“We’ve gotten word from a reliable inside source with a studio casting grid that The Riddler is listed as a character for Chris Nolan’s highly anticipated to the sequel to The Dark Knight, which is still called Batman 3 at Warner Bros. Even more interesting, the actor currently listed in the same grid to play the assumed villain is none other than Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whose status is just listed as ‘interested.’”
Many names have been thrown around for roles in the third installment. Many characters have also been theorized. You may have heard Johnny Depp was after the Riddler role along with a long list of actresses after the Catwoman role. Even a delicious rumor feature Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin circulated. Currently, Christopher Nolan and his brother, Jonathan Nolan along with David Groyer are still rumored to be working on the screenplay.
So is there any validity to this rumor? Perhaps. Levitt wisely spoke highly of Nolan after working with him in the latest hit film “Inception.” They reportedly got along very well and he’d be stupid turn his nose up at an opportunity like this. In my opinion, I would walk away confident that the Riddler will be a villain in the much anticipated third Batman.
