Goyer Talks About Batman 3 Rumors

Here is more about the upcoming Batman sequel. David S. Goyer has stated that he and Nolan have loosely discussed themes and ideas.
“We have mused here and there, but I mean Chris is pretty much a one movie at a time kind of guy,” he said. “I wish I could tell you more. There really isn’t anything to tell,” he added.
Goyer has thrown out rumors that the film will start pre-production in 2009 and has also said that the possible casting of Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin are just a rumor and have nothing solid to support these claims.
“If and when Chris is ready to talk, we’ll talk,” said Goyer.
So Batman 3 or “The Caped Crusader”, which people are saying it will be called, really has nothing new in facts but still a lot of rumors that keep the internet buzzing about the upcoming sequel.

Lost Season 6 Details


SPOILERS: DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LOST SEASON 6!

Here is what we can expect in the first episode of season 6.

Fox revealed that we'll immediately start with the ramifications and results of Juliet and the Hydrogen Bomb.
"It's very surprising and probably fairly confusing initially to the audience." Matthew Fox stated that all the storylines will be resolved that the conflict between Jack and Locke will "come to a head."

Here is what Matthew Fox had to say about the Lost season 6 ending (the series finale).

"I think it is going to be very satisfying and cathartic and redemptive and beautiful. I've talked to Damon pretty extensively and every time I talk to him it's sort of surprising how moving it is just to talk about it." He went on to say that everything will resolve itself in "an incredibly powerful, very sad and beautiful way. I think is going to be pretty awesome."

Here are a list of DEAD/MISSING characters that will be returning for the show.

Charlie (Dominic Monaghan): He will return for 4 episodes.
Clarie (Emily De Ravin): She is returning for the Full-season.
Shannon (Maggie Grace): She will be returning for 6 episodes.

I did a little more research and I also learned that deals are not in place yet and ABC is looking to put deals in place, not only with those three but all the principal characters from season 1.

E3 Preview

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Electronic Entertainment Expo may be back on the upswing after two years of downsizing, but that doesn’t mean the gaming industry’s once showy spectacle known as E3 is returning to its heyday of a few years ago.
Some 70,000 people flocked to the Los Angeles Convention Center to see the latest in video games back in 2005. While only 40,000 are expected next week, that’s still far more than the 5,000-person guest list of recent years.
Also back are the splashy booths, where more than 200 exhibitors will attempt to build buzz for games. Among the most anticipated that are likely to be on display: a new "Rock Band" featuring The Beatles; a Tony Hawk game that utilizes a skateboard-shaped controller; the psychological thriller "Alan Wake" and the first follow-ups to such popular games as "Mass Effect," "Army of Two," "Assassin’s Creed," "Modern Warfare," "Red Steel" and "BioShock."
While the economic slump has not bashed the gaming industry as badly as other industries, many of this year’s E3 exhibitors are being cautious about what titles they trot out. Many publishers are opting to showcase streamlined slates instead of gobs of games.
"We look at E3 as the premiere global industry show that allows us to show off our wares," said Sean Ratcliffe, vice president of marketing for Sega. "It’s incredibly important for us to get our messages across. I think that’s why our approach of having a greater focus on just eight titles is a better way to make sure we’re cutting through the clutter."
Sega will highlight games such as the Wii first-person shooter "The Conduit," sci-fi shoot-’em-up "Aliens vs. Predator" as well as unveil a new racing game starring Sonic the Hedgehog. Ratcliffe also promised that a model dressed up as the bewitching heroine "Bayonetta" from the upcoming action game would make appearances at the Sega booth on the show floor.
Other publishers — including Electronic Arts and 2K Games — are also taking a refined approach.
"We’re focusing on the most immediate games now, and we’re going to tease some things for later," said John Riccitiello, chief executive officer for Electronic Arts. "We just can’t show everything we have lined up. You’ll see 10 titles (at our press conference) on Monday and 35 titles if you visit our booth, but it’s by no means our full slate."
In addition to the sci-fi sequel "Mass Effect 2" and cooperative shooter sequel "Army of Two: The 40th Day," EA will showcase such games as a Wii edition of the "Dead Space" franchise, the next "Madden NFL" entry, the fantasy role-playing game "Dragon Age: Origins" and an action-adventure game starring funnyman Jack Black titled "Brutal Legend."
"We’re taking a few titles and making them very, very big," said Greg Gobbi, vice president of product development for 2K Games.
This year’s flashiest showings will no doubt come from Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony, who may debut a new PlayStation Portable that relies entirely on downloads. Rumors have also circulated that Sony and Microsoft will unveil their own motion-control technologies that could rival the Wii.
