This Week’s Most Popular News:

New Pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker
It appears IGN Movies has solved the riddle left by Warner Bros. on the teaser site promoting the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight. As the reward, we get to see not only Heath Ledger as the Joker, but also a video teaser of the movie as well.

The Dark Knight Footage Leaked!
We’ve got a little under a year to go before The Dark Knight graces our cineplex screens, but Warner Bros. knows how to parcel out morsels for hungry fans — now, to go along with the steady stream of casting information, photos, and the first teaser, Latino Review is offering footage of Batman’s motorcyle (A.K.A. “The Batpod”) in action.

Surprise Iron Man Footage Knocks Comic-Con’s Socks Off
Director Jon Favreau wasn’t supposed to present much on the upcoming comic book flick Iron Man until Saturday, but Thursday’s crowd got a treat when he unveiled an entire segment of footage early, in true Comic-Con style.

Early Production Underway for Spider-Man 4
Yep, just a little more vague mumbling about what might happen on Spider-Man 4, but when Sam Raimi has something to say, it’s usually worth listening to.

Johnny Depp to Take Another Crack at Hunter S. Thompson
It’s been a long time coming, but it looks like Johnny Depp will finally get his wish to turn Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary into a movie. And of course he’ll be playing the legendary author. (Again.)


Quite a stretch from his cowboy role
