Cloverfield (Movie Watch)

Just when you thought the secret trailer played in front of "Transformers" was the biggest mystery around, Paramount went ahead and released the official version. The funny thing is that the studio spent lots of time making sure that the bootleg ones are taken off the many sites that had them, just to give us the official one days later. At this point, very little is known about the movie, even the title is still yet to be announced. (Cloverfield is the working title). According to rumors, we will not know much more about this flick for a while, since even the actors don't have any idea what the plot is about. All we know is that it is not Godzilla, but is still a monster movie.

The Dark Knight (Joker Second Teaser & Poster)

In an interview with The Star Ledger "The Dark Knight" star, Christian Bale, revealed that a third "Batman" film is a definite possibility. "The script leaves room for a very interesting follow-up, too," Bale says of the potential for a third film. "I think we could take it somewhere else." This comes as no surprise, since "Batman Begins" earned $372 million worldwide in theaters alone & revitalized the entire franchise. Plus the villain count in "The Dark Knight" is rising with the addition of The Scarecrow to Harvey Dent & The Joker; there are just so many directions the story can go but wow is this poster proof that doubting Nolan's directorial choices. I would have preferred Jude Law as the Joker, after seeing proof with his turns in AI & Road to Perdition. Oh well, even though Batman & Superman (as the revamped General Zod) passed on Jude we'll at least get him well casted in Watchmen.
