Movie News...

Good news out there for you movie fans. 3 interesting little tidbits making their rounds today are very exciting to nerds and maybe even a few other people. We'll start with the biggest.

Warner Bros. announced the official new Batman title. Apparently it's, "The Dark Knight Rises." I'm pretty happy with that. If this is indeed Nolan's last outing at the helm for Batman, it sounds like it'll have somewhat of an ending. Either that or hopefully he sets it up where he can do a 4th one. And a 5th. And then a crossover called 'Batman: Inception' where Batman pulls an inception on all the bad guys but has to fight them in different dream levels. That would be ridiculous. Also Nolan squashed any hopes of seeing The Riddler, but I assume that Two Face will be back and also another fine cameo from The Scarecrow.

Second, James Cameron has finally confirmed shooting dates for the Avatar sequels. We'll be seeing 2 and 3 in 2014 and 2015. I can't wait. I loved Avatar and if he can make them as engrossing as that was, and as stunningly beautiful, then he'll have another couple billion dollars to his name.

Lastly, a few random things. 22 days until the new Harry Potter. Most of you don't care about that, but I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat until then. Also, Tony Scott has announced he's going to make Top Gun 2 which is pretty dumb, but the plot seems ok. It's about how technology has changed the Air Force and how it's about computer savvy nerds who now fly unmanned drones. It would be much cooler if it was about Maverick being called back for one last mission and they unfroze Goose's preserved body to fly with him.



Anyway, that's it. I'm out. Go big.

Top Gun 2?? Will there drone "pilots" that have a scene where instead of playing volleyball they'll be playing Dungeons & Dragons?
