The next 'Batman' movie will be called......"The Dark Knight Rises," according to the Los Angeles Times, in an interview with director Christopher Nolan. Nolan and his brother Jonathan are hard at work on a script for what they see as the final chapter in a Batman trilogy, set for release in July 2012. As one might expect, much of it is shrouded in secrecy, including what, if anything, will be done about the late Heath Ledger's Joker character (last seen - spoiler alert! - tied up and hanging upside down off the side of a building).

The show, which does not yet have a title and will be produced by Mark Burnett of "Survivor" fame, will follow "the aspiring actress and her family as they navigate through celebrity and Hollywood," says the publication.

The film, opening in theaters on November 5, documents the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame by Bush administration officials, and the attacks on her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson. Academy Award winner Sean Penn was Liman's first choice to play Wilson, and while getting him on board proved challenging, it wasn't impossible thanks to Naomi Watts, Liman's first choice to play Plame. |
