Zhang Yimou’s The Flowers of War might just be the best way to learn a new language. That’s because the film is presented in Mandarin and English — and, luckily for bilingual folks, the trailer for the film features both languages. And the Chinese film features an English-speaking actor as well. Who? A certain someone who moonlights as the Dark Knight, Christian Bale. Check out the explosion-heavy trailer for Flowers of War, which is set during the Nanking Massacre of 1937, below: READ FULL STORY »

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, long-rumored to be joining his Inception brethren in The Dark Knight Rises, will appear in director Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film. But a source close to the situation says that recent reports that Gordon-Levitt will play Alberto Falcone (a.k.a. the Holiday Killer) — the son of former mob kingpin, Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson) — are incorrect. So, Batman fans: Begin the re-speculation now!

Image Credit: Chelsea Lauren/Getty ImagesRutger Hauer has confirmed to EW that he is set to play Van Helsing in legendary horror director Dario Argento’s new movie, Dracula 3D. “That could be really, really exciting,” said the star of The Hitcher and Blade Runner. “I’m flying to London and when I get there I want to have a talk [with] The Master about what he thinks he gets from me, to see where he lives. I can see 3-D working really well and he’s experimenting with it.” Argento will shoot Dracula 3D in Budapest later this year.

Christian Bale on the price of his art: 'Whatever it takes, I feel like I'll do for a movie.'
Image Credit: Darren Decker/AMPAS; JoJo WhildenOne of the most welcome subplots of this awards season has been the warm-and-fuzzy reintroduction of Christian Bale, last night’s winner for Best Supporting Actor. The spectacularly talented actor had earned a reputation for being a little standoffish and his infamous tirade on the Terminator: Salvation set showed his intensity at its worst. But he’s been a genuine and generous honored guest throughout the awards season, including last night, when he shared his thinking on the physical price of his art. READ FULL STORY »

'The Dark Knight Rises' casting: New candidates for Batman's love interest ... and nemesis?
Image Credit: Gilbert Carrasquillo/FilmMagic.com; Insidefoto/PR PhotosChristopher Nolan’s search for Hollywood’s Next Top Batman Love Interest — which really needs to be a reality show, preferably one hosted by Uma Thurman in a garland bikini — continues as he prepares to shoot his third and final Bat-flick with star Christian Bale, The Dark Knight Rises. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Inception helmer has a short list of actresses in mind for the alleged role of Talia, who would be both lover and nemesis to Batman. None of this is confirmed (Nolan and Warner Bros. decline to comment on casting or creative details), so this latest report could be a big stinky pile of Bat guano. (Click it. I dare you.) But the names on the list are: Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia), Jessica Biel (Stealth), Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley, Kate Mara (127 Hours), and young British TV actress Charlotte Riley, who is also reportedly engaged to actor Tom Hardy, whom Nolan has tapped for an unspecified Batman 3 role. (Hugo Strange or Clayface: Debate!) This alleged “short list” is no longer than the list of actresses that first emerged last November via Deadline.com, which also included Hathaway and Knightley, but had Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz rounding out the mix. It’s believed that Nolan is looking to cast two female roles. READ FULL STORY »

Bening, Firth, and Bale: What size do you like your favorite Oscar-worthy acting?
Image Credit: Jojo WhildenI have no problem telling you right now that I’d like Annette Bening to win this year’s Oscar for Best Actress, and I’d like to give the award for Best Actor to Colin Firth. But hey, if your favorite candidate wins instead of mine, I’ve got no hard feelings. Once we get down to the nominees — or even down to that list of finalists most likely to be nominees — we’re talking about good actors, all of them. At which point, what distinguishes one worthy candidate from another, for me, isn’t so much a calibration of goodness as a calibration of size. READ FULL STORY »
