Luca Padovan joins the cast as protagonist Mahito Maki, alongside Christian Bale (Shoichi Maki), Dave Bautista (the Parakeet King), Gemma Chan (Natsuko), Willem Dafoe (Noble Pelican), Karen Fukuhara (Lady Himi), Mark Hamill (Grand Uncle), Robert Pattinson (The Grey Heron) and Florence Pugh (Kiriko). Mamoudou Athie, Tony Revolori and Dan Stevens will also star as the Parakeets.

The Boy and the Heron centers on a young boy named Mahito Maki, who moves to a new town to live with his aunt following his mother’s death. There, he discovers an abandoned tower, and a talking grey heron convinces him to enter it, promising he’ll discover a fantastical world shared by the living and dead, where he can be reunited with his mother.

The Boy and the Heron already became a huge hit in Japan following its surprise release this summer. It had its international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September, where it served as the opening film, and it will have its theatrical release in the United States on December 8.

Average Height, Average Build will center on a serial killer (Pattinson), who hires a star lobbyist (Adams) to help him get away with murder by changing the laws around them. Given McKay’s filmography so far, which includes such films as Don’t Look Up and The Big Short, we’re expecting this film to give us a satirical look at the current state of the world.

Average Height, Average Build also stars Robert Downey Jr. as a retired cop who won’t give up on the murders. He’ll be joined by the Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and Till‘s Danielle Deadwyler, while the rest of the cast will be announced before production kicks off later this year.

Adams previously starred in McKay’s Oscar-nominated political satire Vice alongside Christian Bale and received another supporting actress nod for her performance. Pattinson, who most recently starred in The Batman is a newcomer to McKay’s world, and we’ll soon get to see him in Bong Joon Ho’s next film Mickey 17.

Robert Pattinson will clearly be taking no prisoners when he embodies the Dark Knight for Matt Reeves’ The Batman. 

The new trailer for the upcoming film, released at DC FanDome 2021, presents like a film noir. A dark, brooding tone is present, with it apparent that Reeves’ interpretation will be fairly violent.

It was announced during last year’s DC event that The Riddler would be the main villain, with Paul Dano assuming the role. He will be joined by Colin Farrell as Penguin, while Zoë Krawitz takes on Catwoman. The chemistry between her and Pattinson is clearly evident in the trailer, so expect some charged moments! 

Speaking of the titular character, the Tenet stars seems to have gotten Batman’s voice down pat(tinson) based on what we’ve heard (sorry, we had to!) 

This is also the youngest incarnation of Bruce Wayne that we’ve seen, and you can just feel raw frustration simmering below the surface…

All will be revealed when The Batman hits screens on March 4, 2022.

The trailer, which is set to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” mostly features the Riddler (Paul Dano), who’s leaving deadly teasers for the Batman and Commissioner Gordon (Jeffrey Wright). We also see Robert Pattinson in the Batsuit and driving the Batmobile and a few clips of  Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman.

“The hell you suppose to be?” asks the leader of white-painted face gang to the Batman in the trailer. “I’m vengeance,” Robert Pattinson’s Batman replies.

During the panel, Reeves said that The Batman won’t be an origin story, but that it will start in “Year Two” of Batman’s emergence where Batman, Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin (Collin Farrell) are in the beginning stages of their development. Batman also uncovers corruption in the city and how it may tie back to the wealthy and powerful Wayne family.

The film also stars John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Jayme Lawson, and Andy Serkis.

The Batman suspended production due to COVID-19 and it’s supposed to start filming again in early September. Reeves said he’s only shot 25% of the film, which delayed the release from June to October 2021.

Nolan discussed this action thriller in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly and promised it’s going to be his most ambitious film to date. “[Producer] Emma [Thomas] and I have put together a lot of large-scale productions, but this is certainly the biggest in terms of international reach. We shot in seven countries, all over the place, with a massive cast and huge set pieces.”

Nolan also revealed they’ll be crossing several different genres in this film, despite the fact it was initially described as “an action epic revolving around international espionage, time travel, and evolution.”

The first still doesn’t reveal much of the plot either, and it simply shows the leads Robert Pattinson and John David Washington hanging out together. Tenet will also star Kenneth Branagh, Elizabeth Debicki and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and it will hit the theaters on July 17th, 2020.

Falcone controls Gotham City’s criminal underworld, and he’s one of the villains who are working from the shadows, flooding the city with crime and poverty. Tom Wilkinson previously portrayed this role in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins.

Turturro will be in a pretty good company on the set of Matt Reeves’s new Batman movie. The cast also includes Robert Pattinson in the titular role, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.

Turturro’s most recent credits include TV adaptation of Umberto Eco’s timeless classic The Name of the Rose and The Big Lebowski spin-off The Jesus Rolls, which he also directed. He’ll next appear in HBO mini-series The Plot Against America, alongside Winona Ryder and Zoe Kazan.

Director Matt Reeves confirmed the amazing news on Twitter by sharing a gif of the actress that shows her on the phone saying “Hello.” She’ll play this iconic character alongside Robert Pattinson, who’s previously been cast as the Caped Crusader. The cast will also include Jonah Hill and Jeffrey Wright.

This actually won’t be the first time we’ll see Zoë Kravitz playing Catwoman. She previously voiced this character in The Lego Batman Movie. The list of actresses who portrayed Catwoman in the past also includes Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, and Anne Hathaway.

Kravitz is no stranger to the superhero genre – she also appeared in X-Men: First Class as Angel Salvadore and voiced Mary Jane in the Oscar-winning animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. We’ll next get to see her in the TV adaptation of Nick Hornby’s hit novel High Fidelity.

This 2008 superhero film featured the most memorable appearance of the iconic villain Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, who won posthumous Oscar for his performance. Bale was asked how he feels about Joaquin Phoenix stepping into this role and had nothing but words for praise for the actor.

“Joaquin is one of the best actors around, you know, and obviously I worked with Heath… It’s a brave thing to follow up that performance and he always makes interesting choices. Dying to see it, I wish them the best with that,” said Christian Bale about the new Joker movie.

Oscar-winning actor also discussed Robert Pattinson’s casting in the upcoming Batman movie and described the former Twilight star as a fantastic choice for the role of the Caped Crusader, that once belonged to him.

Pattinson described it as “maybe the craziest thing” he’s ever done but admitted it feels quite transformative and empowering – but surprisingly humiliating.

“You do feel very powerful immediately. And it’s pretty astonishing, something that is incredibly difficult to get into, so the ritual of getting into it is pretty humiliating. You’ve got five people trying to shove you into something,” joked Robert Pattinson.

The former Twilight actor, who reinvented his career with critically acclaimed roles in a series of indie movies, also admitted he was furious after the news of his casting leaked online. He was scared of losing the role following the initial backlash, but everything worked out fine and we’re actually excited to see his take on Batman.

Pattinson can next be seen in The King and The Lighthouse, and the list of his future projects includes several promising movies, including Christopher Nolan’s Tenet.

The Lighthouse, by Robert Eggers, has been described as a “dark fantasy horror” and had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this past weekend.

Starring the Twilight actor alongside Willem Dafoe, the film chronicles two men who slip into madness while tending to a remote lighthouse.

If that sounds intense, it has nothing on the actual filming, according to Pattinson.

“I’ve never rehearsed like I rehearsed with Robert before,” Pattinson said at the film’s first screening.”

So much so, apparently, that the one-week rehearsal was remembered by the 33-year-old as three.

“It was kind of nice to have that pressure cooker of an environment,” Pattinson continued. “We were just in a little room in a hotel in Halifax and there’s something about being contained in there, and not really showing anything, [that] built up pressure for the shoot. That was kind of an interesting environment to work in.”

Filming eventually took place in Canada where the gruelling weather conditions also added to the intensity.

The Lighthouse earned a standing ovation at Cannes but does not have a wide release date as yet.
