Christian Bale talks Batman!!!:
Christian Bale talked to Scifi Wire about his
role as The Caped Crusader in Batman Begins:
"I just saw it as a way of him being able to channel the clarity of mind that he must have had as a young boy when he first declared that he would get revenge. It's very difficult to maintain that throughout your life. It becomes a memory, and you know it takes a great deal of energy to maintain that sharpness of emotion. So I just felt that everything about him should become different [when he becomes Batman]. The look. The voice. And also see that he's able to have his own life, somewhat [when he's Wayne]. Because it seemed to me that if he was just going to be Bruce Wayne in a batsuit, first of all, that seemed a little bit ridiculous to me. It would have been as ridiculous as any of us getting into a batsuit and genuinely thinking we could go out on the town and intimidate people. I think most people would probably laugh, you know? So you have to kind of really go for it in every way. And for me that kind of, you know, involved taking on a slightly beastlike voice, as I hear it.
I felt like a panther the first day, you know? I did feel like some kind of wild animal. I don't know if anybody else was looking at me like that way [laughs]. I don't know if I appeared quite as ferocious as I felt that I did. But I really felt like everybody was kind of looking at me [mimes backing away in fear], you know, jumpy. And ... it makes you feel, you know, like that, you want to kind of run and jump at people and beat the crap out of them. And ... you know, it just gives you this great neck and this physique that just looks intimidating. It's all kind of aggressive. It's all pointing forward. It's very much like a predator. And that was a thrill, doing that."
Batman Begins is directed by Chris Nolan and also stars Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman. The movie will be released summer 2005.

Mike O'Hearn still in the hunt for Superman!:
Just got an e-mail from World Finest's Mike O'Hearn who did a screentest for the upcoming Superman film:
"Just got a call from my manager Daniel Paul. He talked to Warner Bros., and yes, I am still in the hunt for Superman/Clark Kent in the new Warner Bros. movie "Unbelievable" -- budget of 200 million. Filming does not start until March 2005.
My manager however did pass on all the comments that the Superhero websites fans are posting. Warner Bros' recommendation was for all the fans to write to Warner Bros' website and their message board that Michael O'Hearn should play Superman. Production for Superman is extremely busy, but they do listen to what the fans have to say. I want to thank all the fans that have been writing and supporting me on the websites. As soon as I'm finished with my next reading for Superman/Clark Kent--I'll give you an update.
In the meantime, I'm getting ready to compete in the Mr. Universe, then it looks like I'll be taking off with Superstart Director, Sandy Collora to film Sandy's next project."
That's great, Mike, hope you'll get the part!

Conran talks A Princess of Mars:
Sky Captain's director Kerry Conran talked about his next project, the sci-fi flick A Princess of Mars:
"We're moving full steam ahead on that. We don't have a script yet, it's early on obviously, but it's starting. Hopefully in the next couple months we'll start to move. I think we'll have a little more resources available this time out, sort of how Peter Jackson made Lord of the Rings, which used all the available technology, such as miniatures and all that to achieve that. I think there are certain types of images and effects that the computer isn't suited for, and you want to use whatever the best approach is for whatever the thing you're trying to create. So I wouldn't say that we would want to do it remotely like we did World of Tomorrow, but absolutely we would use some of the techniques."
Kerry Conran also talked about another untitled project he's working on:
"Princess of Mars was something that I never could have imagined even agreeing to do, or wanting to do in that regard because I really only wanted to do my own stuff. I've also started working on what intended to be the next project with a friend of mine, that I went to school with, Bob Gordon, who wrote Galaxy Quest, one of the Men in Black movies, and Lemony Snicket, and so we have our little opus that we wanted to start working on. We're trying to do something that's very different, but very ambitious at the same time."

George Lucas talks Star Wars sequels:
George Lucas cleared some things up. There will be NO Star Wars Episodes 7,8 and 9:
"The original 'Star Wars' was only three films, and that was what it was meant to be. After a lot of pondering and thought, I went back to do the back story, but that pretty much tells the story. Episode six is the end. There isn't any more to it."
He also revealed some interesting details about Revenge of the Sith:
"It's pretty dark. It's pretty intense. I'm not sure this one is going to end up a PG like the others were. That apparently doesn't have so much to do with actual violence - like previous "Star Wars" films, this one will have lots of battles and space action."
Episode III R-Rated? That would be cool but I don't think that'll will happen (by the way George Lucas hopes to start shooting Indiana Jones
within a year).
