Rumor Control: Johnny Depp as Riddler in next Batman film

Wow. That would be batshit insane! Coming from multiple sources via Nightly, this little nugget could very well be no more than a fanboy’s overactive imagination. But lets visit this little wonderland real quick: Yeah, Depp’s Riddler would be an awesome follow up to Ledger’s Joker. If anyone could make that segway, it’s be Depp. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see but for now….imagine. What do you guys think about Depp as the Riddler?

Che bootleg trailer appears online

So Soderbergh & company are really having a hard time selling this film. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that even after a somewhat mixed showing at the Cannes Film Festival, no studio has stepped up to distribute. I hope that the film eventually sees the light of day but these days, everyone is cutting back I guess. Check it out while it lasts!

Update: A slightly better version has popped up at Yahoo! Check it out here if you must.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist trailer syncs on the internets

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

Some good buzz building around this film and is set to premier at the Toronto Film Festival in September. Lately, I’ve been watching Arrested Development (what a great show! It truly sucks that it was cancelled….guess I shoulda watched when it was on the air) and Michael Cera has his delivery that hasn’t gotten old and seems to humanize him. Not sure how much longer he can keep pulling that off before it gets old but this film will certainly only help his star burn brighter.

Dem Trailers: Swedein’ Edition

Yes Man
There’s no way around it: Jim Carrey is getting up there, man. And his comedy routine is aging right with him. I long for the days of Dumb & Dumber and Ace Ventura and although those golden times might never be repeated, this trailer seems like it might be a step in the right direction. What do you guys think?

Flash Of Genius
Greg Kinnear I’ve been following since his days at Talk Soup and I’m glad to see he made it this far. Underdog stories like this one are always a treat and throw in some automobile industry espionage and I’m there (I thought Tucker: The Man And His Dream was an cool ass film). In here, Kinnear’s character invents the windshield wiper and big, bad Ford comes in and jacks his idea. Check out the trailer here at Apple.

Sex Drive
A teen comedy that centers around obtaining sex. Yeah, nothing too original in this film but the donut mascot wearing a sombrero along with a few other laughs make this movie go from “Bah!” status to “Mmmm…perhaps” status very quickly. Check it out for yourself over here at Apple.

Comic Con ’08: The Wolfman bootleg footage appears

As usual, this stuff disappears quickly so check it out while you still can! This comes from Trailer Addict via SlashFilm.

Zero Puncuation: E3 2008 Wrap Up

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer materializes

Even after the head fake we all got when we saw the pathetic excuse for a teaser in front of The Dark Knight in IMAX, I’m still excited to see this. And it looks pretty good. Check it out over at Moviefone here.
