The Dark Knight Rises may have a Teaser by this time next week...

...since the rumors are swirling that it will be attached to the last Harry Potter flick. This was the day that most speculated it would show up in theaters, so it makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't say it's set in stone, but don't bet against it. There should also be the first poster dropping around the same time, so our first taste of Christopher Nolan's bat swan song are rapidly approaching!

-Thoughts?

Here's your first look at Tom Hardy as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises!

The co-directors of Catfish will next direct Paranormal Activity 3!

An interesting choice to be sure, and Variety has the details:

The "Catfish" team of Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are set to direct "Paranormal Activity 3" for Paramount Pictures.

Original "Paranormal" director Oren Peli is returning to produce with Jason Blum, while Steven Schneider and Akiva Goldsman will serve as exec producers.

"Paranormal Activity 2" scribe Christopher B. Landon is also returning to write the third film in the hit horror franchise.

Paramount will release "Paranormal Activity 3" on Oct. 21.

The low-budget "Catfish" grossed nearly $3.5 million worldwide en route to becoming a cultural sensation due to questions surrounding the pic's authenticity.

Joost and Schulman are repped by CAA.

-Joey's Two Cents: I certainly didn't expect this choice, but the franchise is slowly becoming known for thinking out of the box when it comes to choosing their directors...thoughts?

The 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' trailer looks...good?

Judge for yourself:

-Joey's Two Cents: Keep in mind that the last movie had a good trailer and that turned out even worse than the original, so I remain incredibly skeptical...thoughts?

Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are confirmed for The Dark Knight Rises!

Via The Hollywood Reporter:

Warner Bros confirmed today that Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have joined the cast of The Dark Knight Rises, which is being billed as the “conclusion of the Dark Knight legend,” meaning the end of Christopher Nolan’s run on the Batman movies.

The two have been in various stages of negotiations for months, with much speculation on who the two are playing.

The studio said Cotillard will play as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.

Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.

Both worked with Nolan on Inception.

“When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience. I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again,” Nolan said in a statement.

The Dark Knight Rises is slated for release on July 20, 2012.

-Joey's Two Cents: I like that they're not playing who we expect them to be playing, though it could still mean that they're going to end up as iconic figures, just with a different back-story...thoughts?
