Bale Says ‘Batman 3’ Will Be Nolan Free?

NolanThere were a lot of rumors about the third Batman movie floating around after The Dark Knight’s success last year- Johnny Depp as The Riddler, Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin… but will there even be a third movie?

Well, Christian Bale certainly doesn’t know. I truly don’t know that we’re ever going to see another Batman movie,” he said to MTV while promoting “Public Enemies”. He went on to explain that Nolan wouldn’t make another movie without a good story. “…if he can’t find that, then it wouldn’t happen,” Bale concluded.

h2_badassNormally, we would try to make some comment about a new movie trailer or provide some context so you know what you’re seeing. We would also probably tell you a bit about the film, its story and the characters. Fortunately, with this new trailer from Rob Zombie’s sequel to his reboot of Halloween, context and commentary really isn’t all that necessary.

If you’re a horror fan and you’re reading this, you’ve probably already seen John Carpenter’s original Halloween and Zombie’s reboot. In fact, you probably have seen all the Halloween movies, and most other horror films, so you pretty much know what you’re getting with this movie. Fortunately, you’re suspicions are proven true in this new trailer.

It features all the thrills, chases, screaming, blood, gore and the unstoppable killing machine (aka Michael Myers) you’d expect from a Halloween movie. In short, it looks kick ass.

Halloween 2 opens August 28th. Check out the new trailer after the jump.

New Trailer for Spielberg and Hank’s ‘The Pacific’

SPIELBERG-HANKSToday, HBO has released the “official’ trailer for Steven Spielberg and Tom Hank’s miniseries sequel to Band of Brothers called The Pacific. The new show, as opposed to Band of Brothers which followed paratroopers in Europe, tells the story of the Pacific Fleet’s journey through the 2nd World War.

According to HBO’s press release about the miniseries:

“Made up of 10 episodes and produced by Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman, the creative team behind the Emmy-winning 2001 HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, The Pacific tracks the intertwined odysseys of three U.S. Marines – Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge and John Basilone – across the vast canvas of the Pacific.

The extraordinary experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first clash with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, to the triumphant, yet uneasy, return home after V-J Day”

As a big fan of Band of Brothers, I can’t wait to see this. It looks great.

The Pacific premieres on HBO in early 2010. Check out the trailer after the break.

Megan Fox Talks Lara Croft

megan-fox-closeIf you’ve been dreaming of a new Lara Croft movie and that Megan Fox will take over the role made famous by Angelina Jolie, then you’re not going to be very happy with this post. Still, this post does contain info about both subjects, which obviously you’re fond of if you’ve been having the above mentioned dreams, so read on.

According to a recent interview with the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star, Fox is not interested in taking on the role of Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider reboot nor has anyone even offered her the role. Speaking after a press conference for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen last week in Beverly Hills, Calif. Fox told a cluster of reporters that it’s a complete rumor. No one has offered her the role of Lara Croft or even spoken to her about it.

Not only that, but even if they did, she wouldn’t be interested anyway. “I think that’s a role that Angelina Jolie mastered, and I would never attempt to take that over from her,” Fox said.

Of course, in Hollywood that could also mean that people are talking with her about it and she is considering it but just playing hard to get. That’s just the way things work sometimes. So, don’t give up hope just yet. You might still end up seeing Fox doing backflips, firing two giant guns while wearing skimpy shorts and a clingy tank top. Its Hollywood, dreams sometime do come true.

iPhone 3GS Sales Exceed Expectations

iphon3gsliv0619In case you’ve been away, unable to get on the Internet or watch tv, Apple released an update to its flagship smartphone on Friday and more people decided to get one than “those in the know” originally thought. According to our favorite Apple site TUAW, sales of the iPhone 3GS may exceed the 500 K units as predicted by tech pundit Gene Munster, senior analyst at Piper Jaffray.

His research firm had originally predicted the 500 K number of units sold this weekend but now believes that figure is “conservative” based on early results. Between AT&T’s citing of ‘hundreds of thousands’ of pre-orders for the device, and Britain’s O2 announcing that first-day sales for the 3GS went past the totals for the 3G last year, it’s possible that the 3G S could meet or exceed the magic million units sold mark.

Of course, as in years past, AT&T wasn’t able to handle the number of users trying to activate their new iPhones all at the same time, which triggered delays for many users. Many new buyers ended up waiting several hours for activations to complete or were forced to call AT&T customer service and have their activations pushed through by a rep.

In recognition of the aggravation and inconvenience, Apple has begun emailing affected users with the offer of a $30 iTunes credit to be delivered Monday morning. So, if you ended up having to wait several hours for your iPhone 3G S to be activated, you may be getting something from Apple in your email pretty soon.

Updated: Well, it turns out Munster was way off. How much? Well, according to a press release issued by Apple, sales of the new iPhone 3GS topped one million units over the weekend, double what Munster predicted.

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, downloads of Apple’s new 3.0 OS for the iPhone and iPod Touch exceeded six million and the press release even got a quote from Steve Jobs himself, further fueling speculation that Jobs is on the mend and returning to work later this year. Not bad for a weekend.

XBox 360 On the Dallas Cowboys Stadium LCD Wall

If you’re a fan of video games, big televisions and general awesomeness then this video is for you. Why? Well, it depicts one of the truly awesome experience you can have if you’re an avid gamer and have always wanted to really get your game on in a big, big way.
cowboysstadium-06-20-09

A tipster sent this in to Engadget showing a player using the enormendous 72 x 160-foot ‘LED wall’ at Dallas Cowboys Stadium to play some Gears of War. Later, video emerged of said player engaged in a bit of Halo and showing off his XBox Gamers Score (which isn’t that much better than mine, btw).

Supposedly, the stadium was being set up for the Jonas Brothers’ June 20th concert and the person taking advantage of this rather unique opportunity was the group’s video director Steve Fatone. Its a cool video and shows what some people will do when given the chance. But really, can you blame him? I would do it in a second.

Check out the video after the break.
