For those Batman fans who were worried that the next Batman movie wouldn’t be directed by Christopher Nolan, you can all rest easy. Empire Online.comhas confirmed that Nolan will indeed be back to direct the next Batman movie.
Nolan found worldwide success with his hit movie, Inception. He is currently working on the next Batman script with his brother, Jonathan Nolan, who was a writer on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

There is still no title for the next Batman movie, but it already has a release date of July 20, 2012.
On tonight’s episode of the hit Fox show “Bones,” fans will meet a new character — although the diehards might not be too happy to see her. Kathryn Winnick plays Agent Booth’s new love interest, a journalist he met while serving in Afghanistan. Of course, that throws a wrench into fans’ long-wished-for union of Booth and Brennan, and “Bones” star Emily Deschanel says that Winnick’s already aware that she probably won’t get the warmest reception from the show’s dedicated viewers (Click on the audio player to hear Emily Deschanel)

In a creative decision that is sure to be questioned by critics and fans,
Star Wars creator, George Lucas, will be releasing all six Star Wars movies in 3D. According to Variety, the first movie will be Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (which is considered to be the worst Star Wars film), which is scheduled for release some time in 2012.
A Lucasfilm spokesman told Variety, ”the pic will open wide and ‘as close to day and date (worldwide) as possible.’” 20th Century Fox, the original studio who released all six movies, will once again release the 3D versions of the film.
Star Wars: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, were all re-released in 1997. Visual effects which were not in the original releases, were added to those films, angering diehard Star Wars fans.
The question is, why do this? The only reason we can think of is greed, as Lucas constantly re-releases his movies to make more money! Star Wars purists will undoubtedly argue that Lucas is messing with perfection.
