Here are a couple of revealing new images that have surfaced from the set of the upcoming mega-sequel The Dark Knight Rises.

Could this be Banes doomsday device in the movie? A previously captured scene from the set showed the device being wheeled out behind Bane at a football game where he gives a speech calling the orb “the instrument of your liberation.” It certainly looks like this thing is going to be a major part of the story, I can’t wait to see the full trailer for the film, hopefully by Christmas time! In the mean time, speculate away!

Thor 2 is definitely coming and Marvel has release some information on what to expect from the sequel.

Marvel president Kevin Feige told them (EW) that Thor 2 would “take Thor literally to other worlds,” and that the film will “primarily be the journey of that character, of he and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and how the new dynamic with his father (Odin, played by Anthony Hopkins) is working out, as well as what are the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds.”

The Nine Worlds, for those unfamiliar with the particulars of Norse mythology or the simplified Marvel Universe version, include Midgard (Earth), Asgard and  and Jotunheim, the realm of the Frost Giants. Those three worlds were seen in Thor. In total, the Nine Worlds are arranged on three dimentional planes like so:

Top level: Asgard , Alfheim, Vanaheim

Middle level: Midgard, Jotunheim, Nidavellir, Svartalfheim

Lower level: Muspelheim and Niffleheim

So obviously there are a lot of places to go to and see in the Marvel universe. The first Thor just gave us a sample of the intergalactic possibilities. This movie is scheduled to come out one year after The Avengers (July 2013), so it makes sense that we’d have interplanetary adventures with Thor, rather than sticking to Earth. I’m looking forward to seeing where they go with this one!

Disney‘s The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer was cancelled back in August, now it’s looking to get back on track to shoot this January.

The studio looks like it is ready to re-commit to the project with Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp. The green light hasn’t been given yet, but the current word is that Disney will probably flash that signal next week, leading to an early 2012 shoot…

…The end result is that we might get a version of Lone Ranger that ditches some of the supernatural elements (that is, werewolves) that were once part of the script, but hopefully keeps the perspective-flipping ‘Don Quixote from Sancho Panza’s point of view’ approach that was originally said to be the spark that got Gore Verbinski ready to make the film.

The movie definitely has the Johnny Depp action pull which has been huge for Disney‘s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, I’m sure this movie will be a big hit too. Westerns are a hard sell, but I’m betting this one will be pretty easy, given the action epic nature of the concept. The delays mean the movie probably won’t grace theater screens until late 2013 though, so don’t get too excited yet.

There is a new Blade Runner movie coming from director Ridley Scott and it looks like it’s getting writer.

While nobody is quite sure what Ridley Scott’s new Blade Runner film will be just yet we may know who is writing it.

Sources tell Twitch that Scott Burns – writer of Contagion andThe Bourne Ultimatum – has been identified as the top choice to write the picture by both Scott himself, his producers at Alcon and the project’s backers at Warner Brothers and that all parties are now involved in active talks to make it happen.

To me, the whole idea of a new Blade Runner movie just doesn’t seem like a good idea. It’s one of those classic films that really shouldn’t be messed with. The fact that Ridley Scott is doing the film certainly softens the blow, but I’m still not really liking the idea. It’s hard to imagine how they will keep that same universe in place given the way real life technology has advanced. Time will tell with this one, what do you think?

Here’s the poster for the upcoming comedy Jack and Jill starring Adam Sandler.

This movie couldn’t look any less idiotic, if you’ve seen the trailer you know exactly what I mean. This poster isn’t doing the movie any favors either. I miss the funny Adam Sandler, what happened to him? I hope this movie is as massive of a failure as it should be, it’s an insult to the intelligence of the movie going public.

Here’s the poster for the upcoming horror sequel The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence).

I was the unfortunate victim of a small portion of the first Human Centipede movie, and I wish I hadn’t even see those few scenes. This sequel is touting itself as even more graphic grotesque and vomit inducing. Why anyone would want to subject themselves to this kind of “entertainment” is beyond me, but things like this just keep getting made.

Here’s the first trailer for the upcoming movie One for the Money starring Katherine Heigl.

Seems like the Jersey accent comes and goes for Heigl in the trailer, doesn’t seem natural. It’s hard to tell what this movie is supposed to be selling, straight comedy or action comedy. It doesn’t exactly look like comedy gold in any case, but it might be worth a few laughs. Seems like they are definitely trying to reach out to a wide audience, but I’m not sure it’s working. What do you think?

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming movie Man on a Ledge starring Sam Worthington.

As much as this movie looks like it could be pretty entertaining and good, I feel like I’ve seen it already. This trailer gives way too much of the story away. Isn’t there some way they could have refrained from showing him jump off the ledge? Hopefully there is more to it, maybe a twist of some kind. Will you see it?
