Press Confrence With Harvey Dent
A lot of you who've been following the Dark Knight viral campaign probably got this email in your inboxes today:
But, what with it being Sunday, you didn't get the chance to hear what went down.
Well, as you can guess, it wasn't really a press confrence. Instead, it was sort of a little audio play where the press confrence was supposedly interrupted by a gunman, a cop who was suppossedly guilty of killing his former partner.
By the end, Dent traded himself for the gunman's hostage, playing hero.
Whether this has to do with plot that happens in the actual movie or is just backstory for the movie is beyond me. I'm trying hard to stay relatively spoiler free on this one, even though I am really interested in all this viral stuff.
Harvey Dent is committed to truth and honesty in governing. He is also committed to truth and honesty in campaigning. And the honest truth is that we’ve had a tough week.
Everyone who knows Harvey Dent knows that the vicious smears by a mysterious group calling itself "Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham" are not true. Harvey Dent is innocent of these charges, and the truth will triumph.
Harvey Dent believes that the movement to take back Gotham is bigger than one person. It’s never been about Harvey Dent. It’s about our hopes for our city. It’s about you.
Harvey Dent has always said that if he becomes a distraction from the bigger issues of the movement to fight crime and corruption, he’ll make the best decision for the movement itself.
We’ve done a lot in the last few months. We’ve shown the city that we will not stop fighting against the dark forces that have Gotham in their grasp. We showed everyone that we do have power. That there is hope for Gotham City.
The I Believe in Harvey Dent campaign will be holding a press conference today at 3:00 pm (EDT). The audio will be streaming live at www.ibelieveinharveydent.com. Whatever Harvey Dent says, I know one thing – I’m proud of him. And I’m proud of all of you.
I still believe in Harvey Dent. Do you?

Cobra Commander is WHO?!?!??
Cobra Commander has been cast.
And it's that guy from 3rd Rock From The Sun. No, not that guy. The kid. Yeah, that kid.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, little Tommy Solomon from 3rd Rock. According to ESI, the little guy will be playing the big bad guy in the new live action movie.
Here's the cast list so far, from their website:
Who knows how this is going to be at this point.
Larry Hama says he's excited, but he sure isn't acting excited.
When was I talking to Larry?
I wasn't. But IESB was, and they've got video here.

More G.I.Joe Casting: Marwan is Zartan, The Rookie is Hawk
Yup, you got it.
Arnold Vosloo, known for playing the best bad guy ever to grace the set of 24, along with some desert movie he made with some director who's got a movie coming out based on a line of action figures--that's the Arnold Vosloo who's going to play Zartan, everybody's favorite Austrailian biker with a skin disorder.
This is a decision I can get behind. I think this, along with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Heavy Duty, are my two favorite casting choices in this movie.
And Dennis Quaid is going to play Hawk.
No, not Randy Quaid. Dennis Quaid. The guy from The Rookie. The guy that played Lindsey Lohan's dad in the new Parent Trap. Still no? Frequency? Jaws 3-D? Enemy Mine? Fine, go look at his picture. Yeah, that guy.
Not going to make my top two, but I don't think it's a bad choice at all. I'm sure this one's going to get knocked--particulary if anybody wants to refrence his turn as the President in American Dreamz. But since I live in a world where American Dreamz was never made, and I never wasted a Friday night sitting through it, that doesn't matter to me.
Look at all the pretty ponies.

Other Wonder Woman Fired! JLA Off The Table!
Looks like Megan Gale may not be our live action Wonder Woman after all.
Or she still might be. It's hard to say.
As is being reported all over the Interweb, the upcoming Justice League movie is now on hold, and all the actors options have lapsed.
Apparently the reason is that the studio isn't thrilled with some of the tweaks George Miller made in the script, and they'd really like to let a pro have a pass at it. But since all the pros are out holding signs on the streets in LA, that isn't going to happen any time soon.
The actors have apparently been assured that Warner Brothers just loves them, and that every single one of them is still wanted for the movie, but they've also been told to go get other jobs so they'll be busy when the time comes to cast again.
I didn't care one way or the other about any of these people, but that's got to be a downer. Can you imagine being told you're not going to get to be Superman any more?

No Singer On Superman? Hallelujah!
Okay, this could just be a rumor. But in an article at Variety, they're reporting that Brian Singer is probably off of Superman. Considering what a yawn fest the last film was, that is absolutely fan-tas-tic news.
However, I'm pretty sure The Dark Knight is not going to be rated PG, as anybody who's seen the first five minutes that's been floating around the Internet can attest, so I have to take everything in that article with a grain of salt.
My guess is Nolan was just saying he was staying away from the kind of R rated violence he's used to.
But Singer off Superman? A man can hope, can't he?
Now, if we could just get Michael Bay off Transformers . . .

JLA movie renamed "American Heroes?" I Don't Think So.
So this is how rumors get started.
It's all over the internet that the Justice League of America movie has been renamed "American Heroes."
It all started when Ain't It Cool News reported that Christian Bale was talking about the film (and how its going to be different from Batman Begins), and instead of giving it the name we all know, he called it, "American Heroes."
Personally, I think this is the equivalent of somebody interviewing Dan Castanella about the Simpsons movie, and him calling it, "Matt Groening's big dream project," and people thinking that "Matt Groening's Big Dream Project" was the new title.
The other possibility is that American Heroes is an international title. Remember how, in Britain, they used to call G.I.Joe "Action Force?" Same thing, I think. In fact, I'll bet when the G.I.Joe movie does come out, they will call it Action Force in the UK.
So don't sweat it. Nobody's going to change the name. Justice League it was, and Justice League it will stay.
