Boy oh boy, PUBLIC ENEMIES and WATCHMEN are two of my most anticipated movies for 2009. So I'm glad to announce that the official trailer for MICHAEL MANNS (COLLATERAL, MIAMI VICE, HEAT) crime thriller has just been released. The flick features an uber cast: JOHNNY DEPP as legendary bank robber John Dillinger, CHRISTIAN BALE as FBI agent Melvin Purvis and MARION COTILLARD (won the Oscar 2008 for best female lead in LA VIE EN ROSE) as Dillingers girlfriend Billie Frechette.
PE will hit the big screen in July in the U.S. and August in Europe!

I guess by now you all heard about the infamous BALE OUT on the set of TERMINATOR: SALVATION. Looks like CHRISTIAN BALE is kinda the new STAR WARS KID. Probably as I am writing this, someone on the planet is uploading an new remix of BALES rant on youtube. Though I think it's funny and he kinda deserves to be mocked for being a cock, I still think he is a great actor and probably not half as much of an asshole, as the leaked audio suggests. I mean come on... I know a lot of people that have gone ballistic (or should I say "baleistic"?) over some shit and regretted it immediately. It's just human to sometimes lose your shit (pun intended). That's not an excuse and it doesn't make it right, but people should stop pointing fingers. If BALE wouldn't be a rich celebrity, no one would make a big deal out of it. But being famous does not change the fact, that you're still a human. And sometimes even an asshole.
That being said, CHRISTIAN BALE apologized on L.A.'s Kevin & Bean morning radio show on KROQ. Though you may still think he is a prick, I say cut the dude some slack and let bygones be bygones.
Listen to the apology here.
And besides all that: TERMINATOR: SALVATION will kick ass!
According to IESB Christopher and Jonathan NOLAN and DAVID GOYER have started writing the script for next BATMAN flick. Although it has yet to be confirmed officialy, IESB claims:
IESB was told by an extremely reliable source that the project has already gone into the writing stage with Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer all hard at work.Of course no details about the plot and possible villains are known so far. As soon as there are any new informations, you'll find the here.

We've double checked and we are definitely hearing the script is being written as we speak.
Some weeks ago we reported about TERMINATOR - SALVATION and the new T-800, that will be played by austrian bodybuilder ROLAND KICKINGER. Though this is still confirmed, new rumors see the light of day. According to a source of LATINO REVIEW, director McG is planning to use the Body of KICKINGER and a digital mapped face (and voice) of SCHWARZENEGGER. This technique has been used several times in movies, the most famous that comes to mind was THE CROW, where they used the same technique for BRANDON LEE, who died during the film shoot.
Of course it's only a rumor, but this rumor gets backed up by a picture, that shows ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER and CHRISTIAN BALE on the set of T4.

Comingsoon.net reports, that THE DARK KNIGHT will have some pretty neat trailers waiting for his audience. You can expect a first trailer of TERMINATOR - SALVATION starring also CHRISTIAN BALE, RIDLEY SCOTTs BODY OF LIES featuring LEO DiCAPRIO and RUSSEL CROWE aswell as the frist moving pictures of WATCHMEN, the highly anticipated comic-adaption from director ZACK SNYDER (300).
Furthermore HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE will probably be "trailer'd" with STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS.
You better write this down, because one year from now this is the flick everybody is talking about. MICHAEL MANN (HEAT, COLLATERAL) joined forces with JOHNNY DEPP for PUBLIC ENEMIES. The movie tells the story about FBI agent Melvin Purvis (CHRISTIAN BALE) trying to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger (DEPP), Baby Face Nelson (STEPHEN GRAHAM - of SNATCH fame) and Pretty Boy Floyd (CHANNING TATUM) during a booming crime wave in the 1930s. The cast also features MARION COTILLARD, BILLY CRUDUP, STEPHEN DORFF and GIOVANNI RIBISI! Filming just ended. Premiere is set for July 2009.
