Report: Jeph Loeb creator of “Batman: Dark Victory” comics defends Robin about Christian Bale’s comments…

Christian Bale threatened to quit doing the Batman movies if the film makers ever decided to bring the character Robin into the new films. Which is pretty hypocritical of Bale to say because he once said that Batman “Dark Victory” comics is what Bale loves to read. And guess what? The “Dark Victory” comics had the Robin character in them.

Jeph Loeb says the Robin character in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series would work if done right. He says if they took the time to tell the story properly, the Robin character can be good and extremely moving.

A Batman movie without “Robin” would be a huge mistake. If Chris Nolan decides to do a third Batman movie (I know he will keep doing a few more), he should definitely bring in Robin in the next one.

Chris O’ Donnell doesn’t work as Robin. They need to find the right actor. And no, Tobey Maguire, Hayden Christensen, and Shia Leabouf would not work as Robin either.

We need a young actor who can act really good. A good Robin actor can make the character work “if done right“. Robin is a very important character to the Batman franchise, always has been. If Nolan’s new Batman movies does not include Robin, would be travesty. And those who think Robin does not deserve to be in a new movie is insane. Seriously, Robin being in a new film would not kill the Batman franchise. I think it’ll be a success.

It’s about time Kilmer’s got a good role! He’s still doing movies but he’s been out of the spotlight for a while, seems like no one cares for Kilmer these days. He was pretty popular back in the 80’s and 90’s.

Report: Third “Narnia” film to be filmed in Mexico and Australia…

Production is about ready to begin this soon for the third “Chronicles of Narnia” film titled “The Voyage of Dawn Treader”, it will be filmed in Mexico and Australia. The reason for the move is because they need enough room for a massive sound stage and a huge water tank. The reason for the water tank is that in the next “Narnia” adventure the Pevensie children (pictured above) go on a journey on a ship, they need enough water and land to do this.

I think it’s amazing that they are getting right to work on the third “Narnia” film already when they just released “Prince Caspian” just a little while ago. Bring on the third “Narnia” movie!

Report: Christian Bale threatens to quit Batman movies if brought back Robin…

Christian Bale revealed the shocking news that he will quit the new Batman franchise if the producers and Christopher Nolan decided to bring back Robin, Batman’s sidekick and crime fighting partner. Bale says he’ll chain himself up somewhere and refusing to go to work, if Robin does get written for the next Batman film.

Chris O’ Donnell starred as Robin alongside George Clooney as Batman in “Batman and Robin” that also starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.

More on it here:

The question is will Christian still work on the Batman movies if Nolan brought back the Riddler, Catwoman and the Penguin?

Robin’s always been a huge part of the Batman franchise. Sorry but Christian is sounding a bit of an egomaniac here. I think Christian is just worried that the film makers wills sign some good looking kid to play Robin that will take over Christian’s spotlight in the media. Yep, I think I just figured out why Christian is upset about that.

Thought: Will Adam West be at “The Dark Knight” premiere?

“The Dark Knight” premiere is in just a few weeks and you gotta wonder, will Adam West, the very first Batman actor appear at the premiere of “The Dark Knight” in New York City?

On the day of the premiere, keep an eye out for this blog as I will be posting pics of celebrity turn outs at the premiere. I’m positive “The Dark Knight” premiere will be mobbed with celebrities all over the place in New York City. Heath Ledger had a lot of celeb friends.

Adam West’s “Batman: The Movie” the very first original Batman film made in 1989 is coming out on BluRay. So you think he might just be at “The Dark Knight” premiere to help promote the BluRay too. If he’s there I’m sure it’ll be all over the news.

I’m getting stoked over the “Dark Knight” can’t believe it’s almost here already! I think it’s gonna be the best film all year long, it will probably be even better than the new “Rambo”. “The Dark Knight” is two weeks away!

Not only the new James Bond flick “Quantum of Solace” is being released into a theaterical release film, it was also be released into a video game. The video game will be released sometime this fall. It will be released for both Xbox 360 and the PS3 of course. The game looks way cool and so much to fun to play. The game will be a 1st person shooting to 3rd person action.

Give this article a read about the game at IGN:

While there has been a lot of James Bond games over the years, this one is supposed to be the best one. I don’t think there has been a James Bond game made for the PS3/Xbox yet and it’s about damn time they made one!

Josh is set to play the character of Charlie Babbitt which was originally played by Tom Cruise from the 1988 film that co-starred Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt.

At least this film isn’t being remade for the big screen. I loved the “Rain Man” film and always thought it would work for theatre. Sounds like an interesting play to see.

NEW: 007 “Quantum of Solace” teaser trailer online NOW!!!!

The teaser trailer for the new James Bond 007 “Quantum of Solace” movie is here, and in my opinion, the movie looks fuckin’ BADASS! It looks much better and more action packed than “Casino Royale”. I’m so happy the Bond movies are starting over with a clean slate and improving. I mean, the last several new Bond flicks were such crap and so glad they are getting better.

MTV Movies Blog exclusively has the Bond “Quantum of Solace” trailer:

http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/06/30/james-bonds-quantum-of-solace-gets-an-explosive-trailer-tell-us-your-thoughts/

I’ll definitely be seeing it in theater.

Xbox and the PS3 are also releasing a videogame based on the film and I’ll probably get that too. I’ll be posting more information on the “Quantum of Solace” videogame soon.

Report: Tera Patrick in talks to star in Tarantino’s “Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill” remake…

Adult porn film star Tera Patrick is in talks to be the female lead in Tarantino’s remake of “Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill”. After years of doing porn, she wants to take a break from it by having actual movie roles for the big screen.

More on it here:

http://www.nypost.com/seven/06302008/gossip/pagesix/role_to_kill_for_117863.htm

Tarantino will probably go for porn stars for the other two women in the film too. Tera Patrick is a good choice for the brunette character from the 1965 original.
