The Dark Knight of Bel-Air

GiggleSugar — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 07:00:00 PDT

What, you thought I wasn't going to post a spoof of the film with the biggest opening weekend in the history of cinema? Wrong! This one's decent, though. It features the ridiculous intro to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as it would've been sung by Heath Ledger's already iconic Joker. (Love the cartwheels and cheesy dancing.) So what do you bet that Halloween's gonna be overrun with this costume?

Awesome New Dark Knight Trailer. . . and Indiana Jones 4 Has a New Trailer, Too

BuzzSugar — Mon, 05 May 2008 11:29:52 PDT

When I headed back to the theaters this weekend to see Iron Man a second time, I noticed something about the oh, 30 minutes of previews that ran before the feature. There's an excellent, spine-tingly new trailer for The Dark Knight which, if I already weren't completely anxious to see that film, I certainly would be now. While it's heartbreaking to see Heath up there onscreen as The Joker, it's also totally mesmerizing. That movie is just going to be so good.

However. We also got a new full-length trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and I'm not trying to be a downer here, but I was shocked by how lackluster it was. There's no real tension and little excitement. Not even Cate Blanchett seems to be able to light up the screen with any passion. The signature music is fun, but that's about it. I'm not so precious about the previous Indiana Jones movies that I needed Spielberg, Lucas and Co. to "not screw this up." Mostly I just want it to be a good movie in general. The trailer has me a little worried.

Did you catch these two in the theaters this weekend? To watch them again and tell me what you think,

Low-Budget Dark Knight

I'm sensing a trend here. More and more people are makin' their own versions of blockbusters. We saw the low-budget Star Wars. Now we have a DIY Dark Knight - before it's even come out yet! (No offense guys, this is great, but I don't think the studios have anything to worry about.)

Maggie Gyllenhaal Finds Her Dark Knight

BuzzSugar — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 11:39:01 PST

Due to "scheduling conflicts," Katie Holmes is unable to reprise her role as Batman's love interest in The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins. Instead, Maggie Gyllenhaal will most likely step in to play D.A. Rachel Dawes.

Darling of the independent movie scene, she seems like a slightly bizarre pick for this blockbuster role. Still weirder, however, will be watching handsome Heath Ledger play The Joker.

What do you think about this news? Does Maggie with her big, goofy grin seem like a good pick to play Batman's lady?

Watch Three Viral Videos For The Dark Knight Rises

Shannon Vestal — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 08:12:29 PDT

We've gotten very few peeks so far at Christopher Nolan's next Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, but our first look at Tom Hardy as Bane was certainly intriguing, if a little mysterious. The same goes for these three following teaser videos, which don't show you Batman himself or any other characters except for Anthony Michael Hall's newscaster. The clips depict a breakout at Arkham Asylum, and each features a super-eerie chanting, which can only mean trouble for our caped vigilante. Watch them, and let me know what you think.

UPDATE: Word is that the videos may be fan-made, but if you're curious, check them out anyway.

See Tom Hardy as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises

Director Christopher Nolan is keeping the details of The Dark Knight Rises very hush-hush, but he did give fans a little treat: the first official photo from the film! That creepy masked man you're seeing is Tom Hardy as Bane, a convict who escapes from prison (and has some seriously huge muscles). He's not as horrifying as Heath Ledger's Joker (really, what is?), but it's sufficiently creepy enough to keep us very excited about the next Batman film. How do you feel about it?

Here's Who Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard Will Play in The Dark Knight Rises

Becky Kirsch — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 12:47:25 PDT

We already knew that Christopher Nolan was bringing his Inception stars Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt along for The Dark Knight Rises, and now we know who they'll be playing. As expected, Cotillard will be a new love interest for Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne in the form of a Wayne Industries board member named Miranda Tate. Gordon-Levitt, on the other hand, won't be taking on a colorful villain after all: instead he'll play a beat cop named John Blake.

Dark Knight Rises Scoop: Details on Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Role, Juno Temple May Join!

Lauren Bradshaw — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 05:30:00 PDT

It's official: Joseph Gordon-Levitt is on board for The Dark Knight Rises! Rumors of the actor's involvement have been circling for some time, so the news shouldn't come as a huge surprise; however, we finally have word on what part he'll play. Even though JGL won't be stepping in as the Riddler like many of us had hoped, he will take on the character of Alberto Falcone, aka "The Holiday Killer," a serial killer and son of Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins).

Gordon-Levitt is just the latest Hollywood star to sign on for the anticipated film. To recap: JGL's fellow Inception actor Tom Hardy is locked in for bad guy Bane. Marion Cotillard has been mentioned as a potential Batman love interest, and Anne Hathaway will play the woman who eventually becomes Catwoman. But the casting isn't over just yet, as Christopher Nolan may be adding another female to his list with Juno Temple. The hot up-and-comer's name is being tossed around as a "street-smart" Gotham girl, though that's all we know at the moment.

Does this latest bit of news get you excited for the film? I can't wait to see JGL transform into a sinister villain!

Marion Cotillard May Be Batman's Love Interest in The Dark Knight Rises

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:39:37 PST

Christopher Nolan must really love his Inception cast: Marion Cotillard is in talks to join The Dark Knight Rises, just steps behind her costars Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who have already signed on. There's no confirmation on who Cotillard will play, but the rumored role is Thalia Al Ghul, the daughter of the character Liam Neeson played in Batman Begins.

Though her name hasn't always been in the mix, all signs are pointing to the fact Cotillard will be the lucky lady to play Batman's love interest, alongside Anne Hathaway as villain Catwoman. As the latest star to sign on for what may be director Nolan's last Batman film, how do you feel about the French Oscar winner as Bruce Wayne's next love?
