'Batman 3' Villain Should Be The Riddler: The Votes Are In!

1 hour ago | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

In last week's poll, we asked you which Batman villain you want to see in the next installment of Warner Brothers' record-breaking movie franchise.

We already know which "Batman 3" rumors you wish were true, and we've outlined our casting choices for a new Catwoman, but what about the foe (or foes) The Dark Knight will tangle with in the next film? According to readers, the question is the answer—and The Riddler is the villain everyone wants to see in the third "Batman" movie.

With 37 percent of the total votes, Edward Nigma ran away with the poll—and was followed far, far behind by Catwoman and skull-faced, modern-era villain Black Mask.

Here's how the results panned out for Batman's rogues gallery:

Riddler: 37%

Catwoman: 11%

Black Mask: 10%

The Joker (with someone new playing the role): 8%

Bane: 6%

Two-Face: 5%

Penguin: 5%

Clayface: 3%

Poison Ivy: 2%

Scarecrow: 2%

Mr. Freeze: 2%

Ra's Al Ghul: 1%

A Puzzle Of Posters From Alice In Wonderland Debuts The Caterpillar

2 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Tim Burton's retelling of Alice in Wonderland has so far failed to ignite my enthusiasm. Saying the names Tim Burton and Johnny Depp alone gets my juices flowing, so putting them in the same sentence once again should have me exploding with excitement, right? Alas, the first trailer was released and, as much as I wanted to just love it, my heart broke with the sound of a resounding .Meh.. Subsequent trailers haven't done the job of turning me around so I'm starting to fear that I'll be walking into the theater as a negative Nancy. That being said, for those of you who can't seem to remove yourself from Disney's proverbial teat, we've got just the thing for you. Via their character's numerous Facebook fan pages, Disney is releasing a .puzzle of posters.. The first of three posters dropped today, showcasing the Queens, the Tweedles, and the Cheshire »

American Dr. Parnassus Poster Focuses On Ledger

3 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

There are so many visuals captured in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, so many different worlds and characters and costumes, that it would be flat impossible to capture all of them on a single poster. Still, they probably could have tried a little harder than they did with the new American poster, which just debuted over at Slashfilm. Yes, it's wise to put the focus on Heath Ledger, who is just as vibrant and energetic in his final role in the film as he appears on the poster. And the mirror opening up into a brightly colored world nicely suggests the surreal fairyland that Ledger's character enters (in which he turns into Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell as well). But the poster is also suggesting that there's a romance between Ledger's and Lily Cole's character, which isn't quite right, and also relegates Christopher Plummer and Tom Waits, »

Exclusive: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck May Direct The Tourist After All

7 hours ago | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

The Angelina Jolie/Johnny Depp thriller The Tourist is one of Hollywood's hottest projects, and it's something of a hot potato. Jolie and Depp replaced Charlize Theron and Sam Worthington, respectively, and until recently, Oscar-winning director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) was attached to direct. Last week, though, several outlets reported that von Donnersmarck was off the picture and that Alfonso Cuaron and other directors were circling the project in advance of a February start. I caught up with von Donnersmarck on the red carpet of the Behind the Camera Awards last night, and when I asked him what had happened with The Tourist, his answer surprised me. »

Brad Pitt Takes His Girls Angelina, Shiloh and Z For a Ride

Brad Pitt played chauffeur for his sleepy girls Shiloh and Zahara out in La on Saturday. Their mode of transportation was a little more family friendly than Brad's collection of motorcycles, his favorite of which he recently had to send to the shop after getting in a car accident. Angelina came along for the ride after a week of exciting work developments for her - we got to see the first trailer for Salt and she may have a hot new costar in Johnny Depp. Angelina is one of Buzz's favorite actors with famous parents, but we'll have to wait to see whether any of their children follow in Brad and Angelina's footsteps.

A New Batch of 'Doctor Parnassus' Character Posters

18 hours ago | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

After nearly two years, we'll finally get to see Heath Ledger's final performance in Terry Gilliam's Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus on December 25th. To fill the role left incomplete following Ledger's death, Gilliam hired - as you know by now - Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law, this giving Law two films opening on the same day (along with Sherlock Holmes).

There's a new set of Korean posters for Parnassus from Imp Awards, and while I would think Gilliam's films in general play better in Europe than they do here, I don't know if that would hold true in Asian countries. Incidentally, the movie's already made $12 million in Europe, about half of that in Italy. But clearly, we're not seeing a slew of character posters in the Us, so this might be a much bigger deal in South Korea.

In addition to Ledger and his three replacements, »

Check out new korean posters for the upcoming film "The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus" starring Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day.

Johnny Depp enters the revolving door of The Tourist

7 November 2009 4:05 PM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

If you follow the production of films you will soon become aware that many changes often take place on the journey from script to celluloid.

But even by those standards, The Tourist has gone through a surprising number of cast and crew members coming and going.

The latest to arrive through the project's revolving door is Johnny Depp, who is now in talks to play the lead role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Initially, Bharat Nalluri was on board to direct the thriller, with Tom Cruise in the lead. Charlize Theron was set to co-star.

But then Cruise left and Sam Worthington was brought in as a replacement.

After that, Charlize Theron departed and in came Angelina Jolie. Bharat Nalluri dropped out and the studio brought in German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.

Following that, Sam Worthington dropped out and von Donnersmarck moved on. Alfonso Cuaron is now heading for the director's chair. »

Jamie Campbell Bower Compares His Twilight and Harry Potter Experiences

7 November 2009 2:07 PM, PST | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »

Name the two biggest film franchises currently in production. Now name one actor who's in both. Jamie Campbell Bower (best known for his role alongside Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd) is fortunate enough to be a supporting player in the second Twilight movie, New Moon, and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2. Bower plays Caius, a member of the Volturi, in New Moon, a role he'll reprise if/when the final Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, is made into a movie. And in Harry Potter #7 and #8 Campbell Bower portrays Gellert Grindelwald, a character who makes his first appearance in the series as the Harry Potter franchise winds to a close.

"He's an old friend of Dumbledore's, a possible lover," offered Campbell Bower at the La press day for New Moon.

Alfonso Cuaron to Direct The Tourist Starring Johnny Depp

6 November 2009 2:16 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Although Y tu mamá también was Alfonso Cuaron's breakout film in terms of proving his talent and putting him on Hollywood's radar, it was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Children of Men that made him an instant favourite among fantasy and sci-fi fans. Of course, Children of Men was released back in 2006, and Cuaron hasn't really done much since then outside of producing. Now this week it looks like his next directorial gig may finally be falling into place, picking up the pieces of a potentially high-profile project that has gone through multiple changes to cast and crew. If all goes according to plan Cuaron will direct The Tourist, a remake of the 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer, about an American vacationer in France who is unwittingly used as a decoy for a French spy. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives of Others) had previously been attached, »

Producer talks The Lone Ranger and Pirates of the Caribbean 4

6 November 2009 5:09 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Disney is moving forward with its planned movie based on The Lone Ranger, with Johnny Depp cast as native American sidekick Tonto.

Bruckheimer said they were now aiming for a 2012 release. Mike Newell - whose credits include Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - is attached to direct the feature.

Bruckheimer told Sci-Fi Wire that Pirates of the Caribbean writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio had worked with other writers and Johnny Depp on The Lone Ranger to create "something that has a kind of true-to-the-western [feel], but adding other additional elements like we did with Pirates so it won't be just a straight-ahead western."

As for the casting of the Ranger, he said: "We're still creating a pretty wide net and figuring it out. It comes down to who »

De Niro to the 7th? (Oscar's Male Hierarchy)

6 November 2009 3:46 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Have you been buying the minor huzz (hype+buzz) 'Robert De Niro's 7th Oscar nomination' for the holiday film Everybody's Fine? My friend txt critic saw it last night and sent the following note by phone...

it's, well, fine. most definitely a drama (despite the trailer) and conceptually a cross between About Schmidt and Four Christmases. nice, sweet and somewhat forgettable.

might, Might be a nomination for DeNiro, but i wouldn't bet on it.I dunno. I wasn't betting on it either but Best Actor sure seems vacant this year with only Colin Firth (A Single Man) and George Clooney (Up in the Air) catching any sort of real fire. As I've been saying for months, Fox Searchlight shouldn't have even hesitated to position Crazy Heart for a 2009 release. Jeff Bridges would have a clear shot at the career trophy given the field (if -- and it's always »
