Johnny Depp as the Riddler on the next Batman film

There’s a rumor that Warner Bros. execs want Johnny Depp on the 3^rd installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series as The Riddler. Who’s the next Batman villain has been the talk of the town after the memorable portrayal of the Joker by the late Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger’s performance really helps the film to reach the $1 Billion mark on worldwide box office. Beating the The Dark Knight is difficult so they must pick the right one on who will be playing the next villain. I think Depp is a good choice; he got the talent and the appeal (he is proven having multiple box office films on his belt).

Another Hollywood actor is considered to be the next villain, Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin. But according to Nolan, the Penguin character is way too farfetched and he doesn’t like it on the series. But that’s not yet final and I think the Penguin and the Riddler is a nice combination for the third installment.

Upcoming: Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island

This upcoming flick from the award winning director Martin Scorsese is based from the novel Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. The cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy Daniels, Mark Ruffalo as Chuck Aule, Ben Kingsley as Dr. John Cawley, Emily Mortimer as Rachel Solando and many more. I haven’t read the novel but after watching the trailer it excites me a lot both for the movie and the novel. The US play date is 2^nd of October this year and I’m really excited about this film. You can watch the trailer at You Tube just search for Shutter Island.

Fanboys: A Trash Talk review

You don’t need to be a Star Wars fan to appreciate this movie (keep off Trekkie, lol). The story is simple like any other road trip movies. Fanboys is about a group of friends that are undeniably a hard core Star Wars fan that wishes to see Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before it hits the big screen. They planned to infiltrate the SkyWalker Ranch and steal the rough cut copy of the Episode I. Their adventures before hitting the Ranch includes a fight scene with the Trekkies on Riverside, Iowa the future birth place of Captain Kirk, another one in the Trekkie convention in Las Vegas and the worsening condition of Linus that almost lead to the end of their journey. I think you should watch the movie to appreciate it more.

There are lots of negative reviews about this film but who cares if they don’t like it. For me it is a good movie and I like it. Too bad Fanboys didn’t get a wide release.

If you are really a Star Wars fan you will notice few cameo roles of the Star Wars stars on this film. And just so you know George Lucas gave his “stamp of approval” on this film.
