Catwoman and Bane announced as the Villains in The Dark Knight Rises

Today Christopher Nolan reveals two major announcements on the upcoming Dark Knight Rises set to be released in July 2012. After months of speculation weather Anne Hathaway will join the cast of the new film, today’s announcement reveals that she has indeed signed for the role of Selina Kyle, who’s alter ego is non other than Catwomen, a role made famous by Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns (1992). Tom Hardy’s character has also finally been revealed, he will play Bane one of Batman’s most formidable rogues best know for breaking Batman’s back in the comics.

He’ll be back! Arnold Swarzenegger set to return to film.

The ‘Governator’ who has not long left office, is said to be reading three scripts already, to which he confirmed with Krone.at, an Australian publication.
One of these scripts was something he had been thinking about before his term in office involving an older military soldier who is ordered to kill children just before the war ends but doesn’t do it and rather gets the kids to safety at the risk of his own life, and is also based on a true story.

The script itself is written by Randall Wallace (Braveheart, We Were Soldiers) called With Wings As Eagles. If Arnold accepts the role he would be playing a veteran Nazi soldier, something that never really worked out for Tom Cruise in Valkyrie.

Scre4m: Will Gale Weathers scream for the last time?

Scream 4 hit’s the theatres this April 15th which will be set 10 years after the events of Scream 3. Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox Arquette and David Arquette are all reprising their roles and the movie has been confirmed to kick off a brand new trilogy, which will focus on mainly a new cast.

Scream 4 had its own audience test last week, and the feedback had been mainly positive, even some saying it is the best one since the original, and though these comments may come from die hard fans that have been longing for another sequel for years it does show some good optimism for the new instalment.
Even though it received an audience screening luckily not many details have been spilt to ruin it for us, especially when this sort of movie thrives upon guessing who the killer might be.

Apologies readers

Dear followers and regular readers, we apologise for the lack of posts this week.

Dempsey has been under the weather with the flu (man flu, the worlds worse!), and he is hibernating in the bedroom for the week. Don't worry he is fine, he has his Smallville and Melissa Bradley's new book to keep him occupied.

However, this week I will guest host until he is better, so from Saturday expect some posts from me. I will use his mis-fortune to finally takeover his blog,mwah ha ha ha, and will try my hardest to catch up with his own follwers blogs and comment and rate your recent posts.

Be warned, CJ is in the house!
