Nobody expected the latest Batman movie, the Dark Knight, to have the accomplishment it survived to garner. The follow-up to Batman Begins has earned $525,833,000 as of Oct. 5, 2008, the quickest film in history to ever break the $500,000,000 barrier.
This accomplishment has guaranteed one thing: another follow-up.
Presently, the website is abuzz with gossips about the third flick. These gossips are, certainly, only that – gossips. At this point, nobody actually knows what the third film leads to. However, considering the presented informations we can draw from certain precedents that will guide us to devise educated speculations about the third film.
Number one, the title. Batman Begins is a catchy title that immediately speaks of a remake of the franchise coming from uninspiring accounts in the current ideas of the lead as portrayed by Tim Burton. Rumors of the title of the number two film varied from the exciting – i.e. Batman Triumphant – to the common – i.e. Dark Moon Rising.
In the end, the movie outfit settled for the Dark Knight, a moniker assigned by the people of Gotham to their brooding guardin in the pages of the comics series.
And what title is coming up for the third film? It actually depends on the direction that the third movie will take. If the third film continues the story of the Dark Knight, then Batman Triumphant may be in the running for the title of the third film. However, the rumor mill is buzzing with gossips about the third flick being an adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic, the Dark Knight Returns, which is the tale of a retired Batman returning to his delinquency battling ways 40 years after he surrendered his cape. In which case, the Dark Knight Returns would be an apt title that requires no modifications.
Number two, the villains. Who will be the primary antagonist for the third film? This would be simpler to speculate. Just two major villains from the Batman sagas hang about, after Scarecrow has been disposed of, the Joker being arrested, and Two Face having (apparently) deceased. Riddler or the Penguin, whichever or both. Several websites have by now reported that Johnny Depp has offered himself to play the part of the Riddler. Several websites have also reported that Philip Seymour Hoffman is seriously being considered to play the Penguin.
Number three, will there be a Robin? Despite the fact that the general tone of the reboot doesn’t look to demand for a Robin, a convincing take on a boy associate can never be ruled out. If this is the course that will be taken, expect the Dick Grayson adaptation – the original Robin – to be the one employed in the film.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine To Be Released On May 1, 2009
There was a period when Hollywood shunned comic properties like the plague. With average interpretations of masterpiece characters like the Punisher, Captain America, and even the Fantastic Four – the last two being so bad that they wind up as straight-to-video issues – Hollywood has grasped the notion that comic properties do not command a following that is large enough to ensure a hit.
In 2000, a comic-adapted flick altered such a perception.
Bryan Singer took comic book’s main franchise, the X-Men, and created a great film out of the same. The outcome is a trilogy that raked in billions of dollars in profit.
The X-Men flicks are greatly recognized as the films that broke open the gates of Hollywood for highly booming superhero films that came after – Spider-Man, Blade, Daredevil, the two Fantastic Four flicks, and even the remake of Batman and the come back of Superman to the wide screen.
The X-Men trilogy, nevertheless, has completed its run.
Nonetheless, followers should not worry as Marvel Comics and 20th Century Fox are planning a series of films focusing on the genesis of the transformed creatures we have grown to like.
First of these films is X-Men Origins: Wolverine, scheduled for a May 1, 2009 showing. Hugh Jackman will reprise his character as the titular persona, though, the film will be adjusted some 17 years before the occurrences of the first X-men movie.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine tells the tale of Logan’s unearthing of his mutant abilities, his addition to the Weapon X program, his transactions with William Stryker, and his falling out with the stated institution.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine will feature a slew of new mutants direct from the comic series, like the motor mouth killer, Dead Pool – played by the highly-recognized Ryan Reynolds – and the raging Cajun, Gambit – played by Taylor Kitsch. Sabretooth, surely, will perform a crucial role in the flick, being a central figure in the Wolverine mythos.
One of the things to see in the flick is the surprise that the Weapon X code doesn’t mean the letter X, rather, it refers to the number “ten,” with Wolverine being the tenth government project made for mass destruction. The ending of X-Men Origins will pit Wolverine against the new edition of the program, Weapon XI.
It’s going to be slobber knocker!

Waiting To Watch The Watchmen
Hollywood has recognized what comic enthusiasts has long realized – superhero films are a big business. Success of films such as the X-Men trilogy, the Spider-Man trilogy, the Batman films, and sleeper hits such as Iron Man and Sky High prove this fact. The pursuit for comic book assets has intensed.
2009 is no exclusion, and the year’s biggest film may wonderfully be based on the widely commended comic book maxi-series of all time.
Allan Moore’s Watchmen is the title that is often mentioned as a reply to the question “what is the best comic book in record?” Watchmen is a work of art in storytelling, breaking new bases in the avenue with techniques that were radical in those period.
Watchmen exposes a period when superheroes have been banned and super troops have disbanded. One such group, the Watchmen, were mandated to come together when one of their former associates was slained, with all clues referring to another member of the team as the offender.
What follows next is an exposition nothing like any other – the ethical conundrums of being a supernatural being, the fair contemplation of methods and outcomes, the price of supreme intelligence, the dangers of an all-commanding government, the misfortunes of being a superhero, the triumph and pretense of being normal, a research on the callings of the flesh, and so much more.
Many studios and many producers have attempted to bring Watchmen to the silver screen n the past, but only with the coming to life of one Zack Snyder has there been overflowing belief for a realistic adaptation of the effort to another medium. Zack Snyder, certainly, is the same visionary director who provided us an almost-seamless film interpretation of comic book classic, 300, by Frank Miller.
Early still takes and teaser clips of the movie has guaranteed the typically fanatical comic fandom that the beloved franchise is in good hands. The group of actors is perfect, and Dr. Manhattan, the heavenly personality in the series, is perfectly portrayed by computer generated illustrations.
Watchmen is prepared to carry on the trend of superhero films raking in the big bucks.
Although, Watchmen is no ordinary superhero film. It is an oeuvre camouflaged as a comic book. It is a study of civilization, politics and philosophy using spandex-wearing personas as characters. And it will be one of the best films of the century despite its appearingly glitzy setup.

A New Star Trek Flies To Old Territory In 2009
Did you realize that the original Star Trek film was thought to be a prequel to the at that time terminated TV program? This enthrallment for a prequel to the most famous space account of all period sustained throughout the years. On 1991, for example, the 6th Star Trek film was meant to present another set of leads who would’ve played the new accounts of the established member. During 2001, Enterprise was aired, presenting the first adventures of the USS Enterprise under the command of Jeffrey Archer.
Only in 2009 will a real prequel to the previous series be realized.
Plainly dubbed Star Trek, the latest flick will gyrate around the establishment of the extraordinary comradeship between James Kirk and Spock, the foundations of the franchise. This time however, they will be played by young, up-and-coming stars. Chris Pine will do the character of a young James Kirk, and Zachary Quinto will take on the character of a young Spock.
To provide connection with the first flicks, Leonard Nimoy will reprise his character as an adult Spock who will get to face his younger self by means of time travel. It was stated that Nimoy anticipated much from the script, and if it wasn’t to his liking, he would have demanded a modification before he would agree to do the shooting of the film.
To state that he was energized about the script would be an understatement.
Leonard Nimoy was stated to be enthusiastic once understanding the script. He couldn’t ask something more to make it better in his opinion.
This bodes fine for the subsequent installment of the well loved sequence, as naught but encouraging stories and evaluations – early on – have originated from the set and from the location. Such is good reports certainly, as Star Trek is a franchise with the most ardent followers in life, where protests are ordered when a Vulcan is played to have longer-than-normal ears.
Apart from Kirk and Spock, younger adaptations of program regulars like Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, Uhura, Pavel Chekov and Hikaru Sulu will comprise the squad of the USS Enterprise.
Star Trek will be shown on May 8, 2009 to begin the year’s summer hit celebration.
