Josh Pence , who played opposite Armie Hammer as Tyler Winklevoss in The Social Network ( where Hammer's face was superimposed on his ), has been cast as a young Ra's Al Ghul in Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan's new Batman movie. The movie's casting has been ultra-secret, although Christian Bale, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman are returning to lead a caped crusading cast, which includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard . The story line has also been kept locked up in the Batcave but Pence's casting throws more than a few crumbs to follow. Ra's Al Ghul was played by Liam Neeson in Batman Begins, thus paving the way for a possible return of the supposedly dead character. Also, while the studio never confirmed Cotillard's character, it has been rumored to be that of Thalia Al Ghul, the daughter of Batman's mentor-turned-enemy. Sources say Pence will appear in scenes that take place 30 years prior to the pres...

Liam Neeson won’t be appearing in the upcoming The Hangover Part II when the film is released in theaters May 26. The actor had filmed scenes as a tattoo artist for the Bangkok-set sequel, but his cameo was edited out when director Todd Phillips was forced to do reshoots and Neeson was not available, according to published reports. In the film, the tattoo artist is one of the characters the guys have to track down during their adventures. The character is described as “crazy” and “intense,” and “someone you’re afraid to talk to.” The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes stepped in to fill Neeson’s shoes. The role was originally meant for Mel Gibson , but after several people in the project objected, the role was recast. Please Leave A Comment- source- THR

UPDATE, NOW WITH MORE HEAT : Sources tell Heat Vision that Schwarzenegger and Lionsgate are far along in the dealmaking process and a tentative late August start date is being eyed. Dealmaking could still fall apart over money, but if made, Lionsgate would get bragging rights to having the first post-office Arnie movie, a movie that would likely be a safe bet for all involved as it would it old school Arnie: him versus a bunch of bad guys. Arnold Schwarzenegge r might have found his big-screen return project. Sources say that the actor-turned-governor-turned-returning actor is circling The Last Stand , a Lionsgate action project being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

Faster than a speeding bullet or merely Batcycle-quick? That was the question we put to Superman: Man Of Steel 's director Zack Snyder when Empire collared him at Sucker Punch's recent London junket . Credit to him, he resisted the urge to kick-off a superhero turf war, giving a diplomatic answer that involved kryptonite arrows and a slightly baffled look. The diplomacy was unsurprising considering the Dark Knight's current custodian, Christopher Nolan , is working closely with Snyder and writer David Goyer to bring Supes back to the big screen. "Chris has been amazingly generous with me," Snyder told us of his producer's contributions to Superman: Man Of Steel's storyline. "He's making [The Dark Knight Rises] but he takes time if we're knocking around ideas for the script. We'll all sit around in a room, beat it around and try to figure it out..." So there you have it: Nolan has officially developed an Inception-like power ove...

Sylvester Stallone has met with Walter Hill about directing Headshot, a job that became available after Wayne Kramer exited the film this week. Word was that Kramer exited because he didn't see eye to eye creatively with Stallone, who'll star. Said Stallone: "Initially, Mr. Kramer was hired to direct a dark comedy; however his vision was much darker and exceptionally more violent than how the project was originally conceived. It was decided that it would be better for everyone to move on and consequently Mr. Kramer was dismissed by producers earlier this week. There were no volatile clashes, it was simply a professional parting of the ways." As for the prospect of working with the 48 Hours and Warriors director Hill, Stallone said he has had serious meetings with the helmer: "I completely respect Walter's incredible body of work and hopefully this legendary director will become attached to the project."

Satellite TV operator Dish Network's proposed $320 million acquisition of video rental company Blockbuster , if approved, will allow the company to expand its on-demand and online content offerings or even launch a Netflix competito r, according to analysts. While some highlighted the small purchase price and potential benefits, at least one analyst, Sanford C. Bernstein's Craig Moffett, called the deal "strategically puzzling" and questioned whether Blockbuster may become a financial burden for Dish. "The deal still presents meaningful risk in that Blockbuster's business is a rapidly melting ice cube, and it is entirely possible that it becomes a drain on cash flow going forward," he said. A bankruptcy judge must still formally approve the deal on Thursday, but Wall Street analysts started discussing this and potential other fallout on Wednesday. The stocks of acquirors often take hits as investors worry about execution risks and high price tags...
