Summit Entertainment has finally released the first trailer of "The Three Musketeers" remake! It looks pretty awesome, take a look:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is ALBERTO FALCONE aka The Holiday Killer in "The Dark Knight Rises"

The buzz about what character will Joseph Gordon-Levitt play in "The Dark Knight Rises" hasn't stop yet. But earlier today, thanks to Jeff Sneider from Variety, it was reported that Levitt will play a potential villain named Alberto Falcone. Yes, Alberto Falcone is the son of Carmine Falcone, which was played by Tom Wilkinson in the previous "Batman Begins". Alberto Falcone appeared in Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's Batman series "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" as the main antagonist.

Geez, seems like Bruce Wayne has a lot of villains to handle this time. From Anne Hathaway's Catwoman, Tom Hardy's Bane, and then Levitt's Alberto Falcone. But from what I'm seeing, seems like Falcone will be the pivotal enemy in this movie, since he'll be likely 'inheriting' his father's involvement in "Batman Begins". Also, Falcone is a Mafia, so he totally has the access of the Gotham City (read: somewhat has 'authority'). It such a great idea that Christopher Nolan, the mighty director, has been wanting to keep Batman's villain as realistic as possible, thus his version of Batman is not your average superhero movie. What a genius.

Meanwhile, the involvement of Oscar winning actress Marion Cotillard hasn't been confirmed until now. I'm still quite confused of what role she's going to play if she actually signs in, since I'm personally not into the Batman comics so I don't really acquaint the characters. The Juno Temple news isn't also confirmed yet, for she is merely 'eyed' -- not officially signed in. Speaking of Temple's character: "a street-smart girl in Gotham City", I'm still wondering why Nolan didn't ask Ellen Page to do this. I mean, "The Dark Knight Rises" seems to be an "Inception" reunion (sans Leonardo DiCaprio though), and imagining of what Temple's alleged character looks like, it reminds me of Ellen Page immediately. But since Temple isn't official yet, I think there's still a hope for Page to do this role. ;)

EDIT: Well, seems like this news is somehow, 'twisted'. A rep from Entertainment Weekly said that Levitt will NOT play Alberto Falcone afterall, and that we won't get any idea of what his role is until close to the film's release date. So, I think, before any official announcement of Levitt's role, let's consider all of these rumors as merely 'opinions' or 'hopes' from the Batman fans. Agree? ;-)

Official: Joseph Gordon-Levitt joins "The Dark Knight Rises", Juno Temple is eyed for a supporting role

Even though we all know that he will actually join the cast of "The Dark Knight Rises", the official announcement is finally here! Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the Golden Globe-nominated actor for his work on "500 Days of Summer" and "Inception" star, has sealed the deal to play an unknown role in "The Dark Knight" sequel directed by Christopher Nolan. This will be a reunion after Levitt worked with Nolan in "Inception". About the role he's going to play, I gotta say that we all have no idea. There's a few speculations which fit Levitt's appearances though: Robin, the Batman's sidekick; The Riddler, yet another Batman famous enemy who's previously played by Jim Carrey in "Batman Forever"; or Deadshot, a member of League of Shadows. Unfortunately we just have to wait for the next announcement since Nolan will seem to keep the identity in secret for quite some time.

Another "The Dark Knight Rises" update is that the studio is currently negotiating with Juno Temple, whose claim to fame was in 2007 Oscar hit "Atonement" and the upcoming "The Three Musketeers", to play a street-smart girl in Gotham City. And just like Levitt's unidentified role, I don't have any idea of who that Gotham girl is. It is also unclear that the character is taken from the official DC Comics figures or Nolan will just make it new.

Now that Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, and Levitt are official to join, I just have to wait for another confirmation from Marion Cotillard who's also in talks to play in this movie. Believing Gary Oldman who said that this movie will be 'better' than "The Dark Knight", The Academy might want to save a nomination space for "The Dark Knight Rises" starts now.

"The Dark Knight Rises" comes to theatres on July 20, 2012.
