Gary Oldman told crowds at Comic-Con 2009 that the next Batman film will start shooting in 2010, scheduled for release in 2011."You didn't hear that from me" Oldman added.
Warner Bros have yet to comment but you can be sure it'll happen.
Yay!!!

It's only a matter of time before the clip that's been shown around various expo's get's released on the internet. I can't wait to see it! If the reports are true, this will revolutionize film.

The band had been due to play a number of headlining slots at festivals across the US, including the Lollapalooza event.

Steven Seagal back on the big screen?
Oh wow, massive thanks to my friend Baz for pointing this out to me.Steven Seagal may possibly return to cinemas in the 2010 Robert Rodriguez film, Machete.
Machete started its life as a fake teaser trailer at the beginning of Planet Terror (Grindhouse). Since its screening, the trailer generated a huge amount of interest amongst moviegoers, it was only a matter of time before it was adapted into a full length feature film.
The trailer starred the awesome Danny Trejo as a machete wielding tough guy on a blood-fueled trail of revenge.
Seagal has been making mediocre DTV (direct to video) films for ages now. Hopefully if the rumours are true this could mark his triumphant return to the big screen, perhaps in the same light as Mickey Rourke's recent success, and reboot his career.
Here's the article, I hope it all happens!
'Futurama' without original voices?
When “Futurama” returns to TV next year, it may be without the show’s original voice cast.
Talks have broken down between 20th Century Fox TV and stars Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche and Tress MacNeille over how much they should be paid to take part in the show.
The studio announced last month that it would produce 26 new episodes of “Futurama,” with Comedy Central onboard to begin airing the new episodes in mid-2010. As part of the announcement, the show’s producers said stars including West, Sagal and DiMaggio had all signed on to return.
Turns out that wasn’t true.

The Ghost Busters (1975)
What's all this about, I hear you ask. Well, in 1975 there was a Saturday morning kids TV show called 'The Ghost Busters'. It was about a team of bumbling detectives who would investigate ghostly occurrences. This would later spawn a cartoon series of the same name.Its not really related to the movies other than the title. Columbia Pictures bought the rights to the title for the 1984 Aykroyd/Ramis film and following productions.
This kinda explains why the Ghostbusters cartoon series based on the movie's was called 'The Real Ghostbusters', it had a rival show to distinguish itself from.
I've ordered the 1975 live action show on DVD so I'll post an update after I've seen a few episodes. It does look god-awful from the opening credits seen on YouTube but I'm curious to see if this had any influence over the more commonly known Ghostbusters series I know and love.
Isn't late night random Amazon shopping the greatest for finding bizarre
On a separate note, I wonder if the gorilla in the 1975 show inspired the Mighty Boosh character Bollo?
