I know this is going to break the heart of Bat-Fans everywhere, but…here goes.

Much like a band-aid being ripped from a wound…Chris Nolan’s next movie is not Batman Begins 3/The Dark Night 2.

His next project instead? A film called Inception.

The details on this project are pretty scarce, but here’s what The Hollywood Reporter had to say on it.

“Inception” is described as “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.”

Ok….so…that tells us next to nothing. But let’s be honest…after The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, The Prestige, Memento…how could you NOT want to see this?

Inception is currently set to be filmed this summer for a Summer 2010 release.

Fresh off the front page of Ain’t It Cool news comes quite the interesting update on the Brothers Wachowski.

The rumor is…they’re taking over the Superman franchise.

Not just for a film, but a full-on trilogy of films.

The article itself also includes information on the Wachowski-produced Ninja Assassin, the fate of Plastic Man, plus a rumor or two on Brian Singer taking over Logan’s Run, but oh man…

The Wachowski’s? Doing Superman?  I’m not even a big fan of The Man of Steel, but this would be one for the Holy Shit if True file.

After decades of speculation and rumor, Quentin Tarantino is finally letting us take a look at Inglorious Basterds.

The oddly spelled WW2 flick features a team of “Nazi hunters” lead by a fantastically accented Brad Pitt.  Personally, I’m all sorts of excited. What say you, reader?

After seeing bookmarks handed out for this at NYCC over the weekend, I had a feeling this would be coming this week…

The official website for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World launched today!  The film, an adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s fantastic graphic novella series, is being directed by Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Spaced, Shaun of the Dead) with Michael Cera (Superbad, Arrested Development) in the lead role.

Of course, if you read this blog, you probably are sick of hearing about it.

…but too bad, ’cause only more hype is comin’!

Anyway, the site has no real content (yet), but is delightfully retro.  Enjoy the blinking title gif.

A Cutesy First Look At The Movie’s Cobra Commander

Man, the internet is just set to ruin my post-Super Bowl movie buzz.

Earlier today, we had the images of robots from Transformers 2…which generally looked more like Bionicle bots than anything else.

Now, we have the first look at Cobra Commander from the GI Joe movie.

Granted, you’ve gotta put an asterisk on that.  This first look comes from the packaging of the GI Joe Movie “Combat Heroes” action figure line.  A line of toys that features cutesy, super deformed versions of characters from different properties.

So while this isn’t 100% screen accurate, I think we can presume it’s close, given the looks of the other figures in the line.

…at least Destro’s gonna have a silver head…

Link-O-Rama: This is why you’re fat.

I shared this earlier in the week on my Twitter (which if you’re not following, you should, I post all sorts of fun things there), but I figured I should share this site on BoR proper.

I give you This is why you’re fat.

What’s the idea?  Essentially, this site presents all of the high-calorie, super deadly omni-foods (like the “french-fry encased hot-dog-on-a-stick” seen above) that send fear into the hearts of the weak, and hunger pangs to the stomachs of the stupid strong.

So go on, click it. And get ready to be equal parts amazed and horrified at just what people choose to eat these days.

More Weird Bots From TRANSFORMERS 2!

Ok, I know I said after the Super Bowl teaser leaked, that I  was starting to get less jaded, and more excited about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Naturally, 2 more robot designs hit the web, that caused me to slap my forehead and wonder why I even bothered to get my hopes up.

First up, here’s a look at DEVASTATOR, or as I will now call him, MELTED CRAYOLA CRAYON MAN.

Next, is a shot of the name-sake villain THE FALLEN

Seriously….what?

Either way, I know I’ll be in theaters this June…but really, Mikey, couldn’t our honeymoon have lasted a bit longer before I was left with disappointment?

Zombies + Vegas = DEAD RISING 2

Say what you will about the quirks of the original Dead Rising, there’s no denying that it was, hands down, one of the reasons why a lot of people bought an XBox 360.

So it shouldn’t come as a major surprise that Dead Rising 2 is due out this year.

What should be a surprise?  This time, instead of having the undead haunt your local mall…the zombies are goin’ rat pack style, and invading Las Vegas!

Is there really a better way to break up the monotony of the non-stop gambling in Sin City than by killing hundreds upon hundreds of the undead?  You’re goddamned right there isn’t.

Dead Rising 2 haunts the 360, PS3 and PCs later this year. Click the link for more screenshots of the new, BMX riding hero.
