  DK Wraps 

  
  From Screen Magazine, pre-production has wrapped on The Dark Knight, on to post-production.

  Now that principal photography is complete, the film heads back to the West
  Coast to tackle post-production ahead of a summer 2008 release. One company that
  has been working with the filmmakers since the beginning is Digital Vortechs, an
  equipment rental facility out of Los Angeles that helped coordinate
  post-production across multiple shooting locations, including Chicago.

  “The Dark Knight” is being edited by Lee Smith of Beverly Hills-based The
  Gersh Agency. Audio post will be handled at Dolby Laboratories in San
  Francisco.

  Incredible Hulk Superbowl Spot? 

  

  Lindsay Harrison from Rhyth and Hues, the visual effects company working on the new Hulk movie, posted on her blog about The Jolly Green Giant making a first appearance in the Superbowl next year.

  The big announcement is that I will be working on the new Incredible Hulk
  movie… I’m so excited. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done before and I can’t
  wait for all the crazy things I’m going to learn while working on it. THIS IS
  NOT A SEQUEL. Basically we’re all pretending the first one never happened. It
  stars Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Liv Tyler, and William Hurt. It should be
  awesome. I’ve seen the tests for Hulk and its amazing! Way cooler than it looked
  before. I believe the trailer will be premiered during the Super Bowl. Not sure
  yet, but I’ll keep you updated.

  The Super Bowl will air on February 3, 2008 on Fox. Universal also revealed
  the look of Ang Lee’s Hulk with a TV spot during the 2003 Super Bowl.
  Louis Leterrier’s The
  Incredible Hulk opens in theaters on June 13, 2008.

  I’ll believe it when I see it.

  Heath Ledger Interview 

  IESB.Net inverviews Heath Ledger on playing Batman’s greatest villian.

  IESB: You’re going right from I’m Not There where you have to put your spin
  on a character set up by other actors and right into Batman where the Joker has been done by not
  only Jack Nicholson but Cesar Romero, etc as well
  as the comics. Does it compare at all?

  LEDGER: I really don’t know. It’s like chalk and cheese. My preparation
  process for this and my process for the Joker are completely different. I mean,
  for the Joker I locked myself away in a hotel room for six weeks. I just
  formulated a voice and a posture and found a real psychology behind the Joker. I
  really put a lot of work into it. And the experience also on a production scale,
  by the way, is obviously a completely different shoot. Batman is just such a
  machine. It’s huge and I’ve never worked on anything that big. And the movie is going to be surprisingly good! It’s
  far exceeded my expectations.

  IESB: Were there any specific comics you based your version off of?

  LEDGER: Well, The Killing Joke is the one that’s being passed around and
  Arkham Asylum kind of. But I really tried to read the comics and put it down.
  You know, I was a big fan of Jack Nicholson – still am – his portrayal of the
  Joker was perfect for Tim Burton’s world and if Tim Burton had
  come to me and he was doing the sequel and he asked me to play the Joker in his
  movie, I wouldn’t do it. I couldn’t. Because you couldn’t touch what Jack
  Nicholson did. It would be a crime. When Chris came to me, I’d already seen Batman Begins and I really liked it. Because
  I’d already seen it, I already knew the world, which he had created. I instantly
  knew of an angle. I instantly knew a way into this character. A way to create a
  character to fit into this world and so it was fairly immediate. I’ve got
  straight away the fact that we’re both on the same page in terms of where we
  want it to be. But I guess we have to wait and see. I haven’t seen any of it
  yet.

  Transformers 2 Update 

  
  Variety reports on the Transformers sequel’s progress.

  DreamWorks/Par’s “Transformers 2” is far enough along to proceed with
  pre-production, location scouting and advance VFX work, but will face serious
  issues if the strike continues for several months. Michael Bay’s megabudget
  sequel isn’t set to start filming until June. Di Bonaventura’s “Edwin A. Salt”
  will likely be pushed back, too.

  Again with WGS, I feel this year is turning into “The Kennedy Era” for movies.

  "Blue" Director’s Cut is Up 

  It’s here the sneak peak for the episode that continues were “Lara” left off. My only gripe, after watching it, is with the WGS going on, that this isn’t the last we see of the future Supergirl.
