What we do have is a trailer for the latest of Disney's apparently endless efforts to...

The iconic Dark Knight Trilogy almost featured Jake Gyllenhaal as its lead instead of Christian Bale.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Batman Begins co-screenwriter David S. Goyer revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he "advocated for Gyllenhaal" to play Bruce Wayne/Batman. Though the part ultimately went to Bale, Goyer stressed that both actors are incredibly talented, stating, "I mean, Gyllenhaal's amazing, Christian Bale's amazing, so who knows what" before suggesting that screen test footage of Gyllenhaal in the Batsuit might still exist.

Though Bale's Batman would fight some of the most iconic comic book movie villains, Goyer also revealed that director Christopher Nolan didn't want to make his films wholly villain-focused. Citing the time he rejected a Warner Bros. executive's Riddler casting suggestion, Goyer explained that Nolan considers this approach, "not a bottom, ground-up way of telling a story. Let's...

Marc Webb, best known for helming The Amazing Spider-Man and its sequel, has signed on to direct the long-in-development Bermuda Triangle movie at Skydance Media.
The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships have disappeared under mysterious circumstances over the centuries. The theories behind these disappearances range from plausible explanations, such as extreme weather and currents, to the paranormal, with everything from UFOs to parallel universes to technology from the lost city of Atlantis taking the blame. Plenty of possibilities for a movie.
The Bermuda Triangle movie has been in development at Skydance for quite some time, with Sam Raimi and Scott Derrickson both attached to direct the project at various points. However, it seems that the project has gone back to square one. Deadline reports the project is still in the early stages with no writer attached.

The Hurt Locker (Summit Entertainment) Absorbing character study follows the leader (Jeremy Renner) of a bomb squad unit in Iraq and his growing addiction to the adrenaline-fueled life and death edge that he and his men must walk on a daily basis. Director Kathryn Bigelow, an unheralded great filmmaker for nearly two decades, has finally hit paydirt with this gut-wrenching examination of war as drug, as opposed to hell. That said, The Hurt Locker is 2/3 of a great movie that takes a wild left turn in a subplot involving Renner’s character and that of a local boy to whom he takes a shine, and never quite recovers its momentum. In spite of that hiccup, it remains one of the best films of 2009 and, thus far, the finest cinematic exploration of America’s war in the Middle East. Also available on Blu-ray disc, in...
