Batman 3
Latino Review spoke here with Christian Bale about the 2011 sequel. Bale said: "Will we do a third movie? It's got to be the right story. You can't make something like The Dark Knight and then come out with something disappointing. I would like it if people say, 'You'll never make a good third movie.' I say, 'OK, let's make a third movie in that case, let's prove them wrong.’ But that's just me. The fact is, I have to! I've signed up! Chris [Nolan] doesn't. So I'm in a bit of a fix if he says he doesn't want to!" He also talks about the Oscars.

Alien Prequel
IESB reports here that Fox Co-chairman Tim Rothman was talking at the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" première about the proposed project and said: "There's been some talk. Ridley Scott, Ridley is right now working on Robin Hood, but I think he's toying with the idea and that would be great for us. I mean, it's always been a matter of, really, if you can get the originator to do it that would be the greatest thing, so I've got my fingers crossed, all of them." They also have a video of the interview posted at the same location.
