More possible casting news for The Dark Knight Rises, a new movie trailer for 11 11 11, Die Hardest gets a director, Prometheus ups the babe quota, and Mavericks gets a man.

The Dark Knight Rises

So that old rumor about Marion Cotillard being in The Dark Knight Rises has resurfaced. Though she’s currently pregnant, Cotillard reportedly plans to do one film in 2011, and she’s chosen The Dark Knight Rises. She was good in Inception, and is unbelievably good looking, but the whole pregnant thing might make her turn as a possible love interest difficult. The rumor was that she’d play Talia Al Ghul, which would work in Nolan’s Batman world, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet, so she could also be playing Poison Ivy.

11 11 11

So there’s a trailer for 11 11 11. Ugh. I can’t believe how dumb this film looks. It’s essentially like 2012, except there are people who actually believe that the world will end in 2012. 11 11 11 is just made up crap that no one is going to buy into. Enjoy.

Die Hard 5

No, it isn’t called Die Hardest, but it should be. Fox is still apparently hoping to bleed John McClane dry, so they’ve hired Noam Murro to direct. Murro has mainly directed commercials, although he did direct the action heavy Smart People. Oh, wait. That was a drama. No action. Yawn. Wake me when Bruce Willis does a sequel to The Fifth Element.

How awesome would that be? I could be the Sixth Element. And I see ghosts!

Prometheus

Ridley Scott’s sorta a prequel to Alien but not really, Prometheus, has signed Charlize Theron to star opposite Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender. I hope there’s a lezzy kiss. And Fassbender just watches. Silently. But with a noted increase in breathing.

Mavericks

Mavericks, which I’m going to write a preview of next, has signed Gerard Butler to be the mentor to surf legend Jay Moriarty. Butler will play Rick Hesson, who no doubt knew all sorts of stuff about riding the waves, man.
