The Dark Knight Rises, update on Christopher Nolan's telling of Batman.

The website came up for "The Dark Knight Rises" today. One hoping for more juicy details about this film would be disappointed to see nothing but an audio file. A file which has nothing but... well, chanting. Of course leaving things at that, some people just wouldn't be satisfied.

So after someone had used some of their special audio programs, they found that the file had more to say, #thefirerises. After realizing this was a twitter tag, he tweeted it to find a picture...

Bane, one of the most dangerous of Batman villains.  With a formula of his own creation, he can cause himself grow in size with almost limitless strength and unfiltered rage.

Although he is hard to recognize now, this is Tom Hardy. Who we know as Eames, in "Inception".

We're all excited to see this film. Unfortunately, it's not coming out until next year.... damn.

Upcoming Stephen King Projects Update

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Since I've gotten a job, this blog has suffered. I promise to do better. haha.

Being the nerdy fan I am, I've been keeping my eye on a few movie projects. It seems two of them will be a definite yes. The others, we'll have to wait and see.

The Talisman: 

The story of a boy who must travel to another dimension to recover an amulet to save his dying mother.

This one is showing progress as there is a production, art, and visual effects crew in place. But no director or acting cast yet.

I wouldn't expect a hollywood quality on this one, it's expected to be a T.V. mini-series.

Expected to come out some time next year.













The Dark Tower:
The story of Roland Deschain, The Last Gunslinger. Roland must find The Dark Tower in order to save his dying world.

This one is more optimistic. Ron Howard has been selected as the director, and many stars have been considered for the role of The Gunslinger. Including Daniel Craig, Christian Bale, Viggo Mortensen and Javier Bardem. Although it looks like it's leaning towards Javier, since he is officially stated so on IMDB.


This one is expected to be a T.V. series, or a trilogy + T.V. special. My opinion, T.V. series is the best choice. There are seven novels(with another on the way), and they are all very long. So long I won't read them, just listen to them as an audio book. This series is what Stephen has set as his "Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter". In other words, the stories he was born to write. This story also will crisscross with some of his other books, such as 'Salem's Lot', 'The Stand'(my favorite), 'The Talisman', and a small reference to 'Insomnia'.

This one would be a very, very strange setting. I've only finished the first book, and read a few of the graphic novels, but it brings up some profound things, and makes you think about some things. But I'm really excited, and I think others should be too.

This one will take awhile. It's expected in 2013.

Here are the links of the movies I'm keeping an eye out for on IMDB:
The Dark Tower, The Talisman, Cell, Under The Dome, The Stand (remake), The Stand (original), & From A Buick 8

If you happen to find any other upcoming titles I've missed, I'd love to know.
