Posted 7/23/10 12:14 pm EST by in DC Comics, News


Aaron Eckhart has said that if Christopher Nolan called on him to come back as Two-Face for "Batman 3" he "would certainly do it." The "Inception" director's follow-up to "The Dark Knight" has been alleged to be scheduled to start filming as soon as March or April 2011, and Eckhart just happens to have an open slot on his calendar that month.

"I'll give Chris a shout-out," Eckhart said during an interview with MTV News. "You know, I'm available"

Whatever Nolan decides to do, Eckhart supports him, though. Read More...

We have one last bit of news to add from today's livestream show from San Diego Comic-Con and it involves Mr. Robert Rodriguez and "Deadpool." In discussing his very busy schedule, which includes finishing "Machete" and then starting "Spy Kids 4," Rodriguez confirmed the rumors that he's being considering to direct the "Deadpool" movie, and where he is in accepting or passing on the project.

"They sent me a script to read, [but] I've been really swamped with this other stuff," Rodriguez said. "I've not decided whether ... anything I do would be after 'Spy Kids' — that gives some breathing room. So whether or not I would help develop or not is the question right now." Read More...

'Astro City' Film Rights Go To Working Title Films

Posted 7/22/10 9:46 pm EST by in Image Comics, News, Wildstorm


Astro CityKurt Busiek has made a big name for himself in superhero comics with runs on A-list titles like "Avengers" and "Superman." "Astro City" showed what he could do in his own, independently created world, though, and Working Title Films wants to take that vision into theaters.

"I'm thrilled to be doing 'Astro City' with Working Title Films," Busiek said, according to a report on SuperHeroHype. "For years, we turned down all offers for the book, but Working Title's track record on great movies like 'Love Actually, 'Oh Brother, Where Are Thou?' and 'Shaun of the Dead,' and their commitment to high-quality, character-driven storytelling, make me confident that this is the perfect place to make an 'Astro City' film a reality."
