The Dark Knight Rises
You know , after months of weather increasingly insane cast rumors , including the idea that Christopher Nolan would just put the entire cast of Inception into the movie … well , it ’s begin to attend like Nolan really is putting the entire cast of Inception into the final Batman movie after all . evidently , Tom Hardy is already corroborate as Bane , but now Joseph Gordon - Levitt is likely all but confirmed for a role as well .
The late rumor for which role Gordon - Levitt is playing : the gangster Alberto Falcone , the son of Tom Wilkinson ’s Batman Begins villain Carmine Falcone . Obviously , this is all just hearsay and speculation , but the younger Falcone was a major player in the Long Halloween storyline , which Nolan has antecedently made extensive use of in the movies . And , if nothing else , Alberto Falcone is infinitely more credible than the other two unmistakable choices , Robin or the Riddler . So yeah … don’t trust this just yet , but this sure would n’t surprise me . [ Beehive City ]
Next up on the Inception reunion tour , Marion Cotillard is once again being badly rumored for a role in the movie , according to the French newspaper Le Figaro . The rumor is that Cotillard would fiddle Bruce Wayne ’s love interest ( or , depending on how they manage Anne Hathaway ’s Catwoman , his other love involvement ) , and that this link in with the rumors Nolan was look for not one but two female leads late last class . Again , none of this is impossible , and I ’ve hear right smart more improbable casting rumour , but take it all with a grain of common salt for now . Oh , and I ’m sure her likely casting will re - ignite the Talia al Ghul rumors , but I ’m not even remotely convinced that fits with the case of story Nolan wants to tell , or indeed the former depiction of the Ra ’s al Ghul character in Batman Begins .

Captain America
Tommy Lee Jones offered this description of his character , Colonel Chester Philips :
The character I play is the one you ’ve seen in a thousand picture show : the gruff , sceptical officer overseeing a team of talented , slimly sarcastic , especially gifted soldier .
And I ’m hazard you ’re confounded by the Captain …
Not confounded , exactly . Skeptical . At first . And then convinced .

X-Men: First Class
As awesomeas the trailer looks – and I ’m good-for-naught , I ’m not presently hearing debate against its awesomeness – there ’s some concern that the timeline present here is basically antagonistic with that seen in the original trilogy , such as how First Class squad member Havok could conceivably be the brother of Cyclops when there ’s a forty - year age conflict between them . Executive manufacturer Bryan Singer address these concerns by saying the originative squad is aware of them , and they have some ways to work around them … which we ’ll start to see if First Class sire some follow - up movies :
Yes , the timeline is unlike . It would n’t physically fit for him to be the brother of Cyclops . We take some liberties on that . There are notions , but , um , I do n’t want to give away certain interrelations , but let ’s just say there are some thing that do adhere to the comic books and do so in a style the fans will get a kick out of . And those things can , perhaps , move forrard into the time to come … . That ’s one intellect we wanted to call the movie ‘ First Class ’ even though it is n’t the [ Jeff Parker - pen story discharge called ] ‘ First Class ’ in the funnies as buff know it . You could n’t really tell that story without go even earlier and explain how they receive there and how it number to be . I liked the rubric , so we keep back it , but this is a prelude in a way of life that will finally lead to the [ scenarios ] that equip in more clearly with the ‘ First Class ’ strip and situations .

“ I ’m not a instructor ; I ’m a pupil . Charlie son is the instructor . That ’s the cool thing . He sees the potential in this new race and pull together us all together to really satisfy our ultimate powers , to really unleash these gifts . ”
He also implied that there may be some plot grandness to the two different helmets – silver and red – that he is seen fall apart in the trailer . [ MTV Movie News ]
Prometheus
Michael Fassbender also play the main android in Ridley Scott ’s not - technically - an - Alien - prequel Prometheus . He explained just how the new flick connect back to the old dealership , even if it ’s all technically unofficial :
“ Oh , utterly . There ’s a definite connecting vein . You bring in you ’re part of something else , but it ’s definitely in keep with the old one . When I read it , I was like , ‘ Well , okay , another Alien . Where do you go with this melodic theme ? ’ And then I sort of read the book , and it ’s new , yet it ’s in keeping with the older tradition as well . But there ’s a whole new revelation within this moving-picture show . The first ‘ Alien ’ [ moving picture ] , they were thriller . Something ’s going on . It ’s creeping , it ’s threatening . Things are chance , it ’s building , [ and there are ] different sorts of intrigues and politics going on between the different family relationship on board . There ’s action in [ Prometheus ] , but the intelligence is what struck me when I read it . It ’s more sort of like the original single . There are matter happening and construction , and the intelligence of the first two - tierce of the film go you ready for the natural process . ”

Paul
Sigourney Weaver discusses her brief turn as a villain in the motion-picture show , which is very much meant as an homage to her work in the Alien motion-picture show :
… This film , Paul , was done within a circumstance that I found believable – pretty . It was just a wink , and there are twinkling throughout the motion-picture show , and niggling homages to different skill - fiction masterpiece , to the extent that I recall you require an annotated videodisc , because I ’m sure , having only take care it once , that I ’ve neglect some of these thing . So I conceive , if the film were n’t in the hands of ( music director ) Greg Mottola and these guys ( Simon and Nick ) , I would have not wanted to do it . That was my one qualification ; will this just be very organic and drink down out , and you laugh about it as it happens ? I knew they would do it in that unseamed agency . ”

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Mackie sustain he has joined the cast – although he did n’t actually corroborate which quality he is playing – and explained why he was drawn to the task and what the filming schedule calculate like :
The neat affair about it and what I loved about the movie is the theme that it ’s the literal storyline . They took Abraham Lincoln ’s biography , moment by moment , and put this sub - storyline of vampires in it , and I think that ’s kind of interesting . It kind of entices the next generation to look at story in mode that ’s unexampled and originative . I feel that if you watch this picture show and you talk about it , you ’re talking about existent story , just with unexampled secret plan points in it . That starts in like four or five weeks , we start shooting in New Orleans so I get to go home and work out for three months .
That ’s why I ’m so interested in doing the movie , not so much because of the vampires or Abraham Lincoln , it ’s the history scene and I want to see just how far can he take it , because he ’s such an interesting guy rope and his trend of directing and manner of working is so interesting . It ’s unlike anything I ’ve done in my life history so far , so we ’ll see .

As soon as I read the script , I knew there were certain quality that I wanted to bring to Sarah . She has this itchy feet . She has aspirations to travel and to see the creation . And she has a flake of an old - soul calibre to her . It ’s almost like a chance to start over with [ Number Four ] because he ’s from out of Ithiel Town , and there ’s something kind of mysterious about him , but he ’s also kind to her . They very speedily form this very serious kinship , and then things get somewhat sick .

Bay also say the new main villain Shockwave compares favorably with Megatron , as “ He ’s got a much bigger gun for hire [ and is ] a lilliputian bit more vicious . ” He said this movie does have a definitive closing , as Bay has no interest at all in making a Transformers 4 . He again sort of apologize for Revenge of the Fallen , explaining that they had a better account for this one :
“ It ’s epic and it bump in a city . It ’s more accessible because you accredit stuff – it ’s not in a desert . It ’s kind of like ‘ Black Hawk Down ’ with our small group of hero sandwich in a city . ”

Men in Black 3
Tommy Lee Jones sound out he has a week of cinematography left on the third installment , which he allege he ’s still savour immensely . But that does n’t mean he has any mind what the story is about , as “ there are Brobdingnagian slice of the script yet unwritten . ” That may voice a bit distressing , but keep in mind that the movie mostly convey property in the 1960s , with a fourth dimension - traveling Will Smith teaming up with a younger version of Agent K , played by Josh Brolin . As such , Jones ’s part in the film is belike relatively small , so it ’s conceivable the middle , 1960s - congeal lot of the picture show still needs to be finished while the frame , present - day sequences are already done . Still … it does go as though this movie is using a … unique originative cognitive process . [ Vulture ]
