Ice Cube is set to star in a television series entitled Eye for an Eye being developed by FX. Eye for an Eye would be the first television series Cube has starred in.

Laika Entertainment (the animation studio behind Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and Henry Selick’s Coraline adaptation) are back with another 3D stop-motion animated supernatural horror-comedy: ParaNorman, an original film written and co-directed by onetime storyboard artist Chris Butler, in collaboration with co-helmer Sam Fell (Flushed Away).
The ParaNorman teaser trailer amounted to a glorified montage/patchwork of eye-catching visuals, set to the toe-tapping tune of Donovan’s “Season of the Witch”. Today, we have a second theatrical promo that offers a little more story, along with a better look at some of the supernatural entities (ghosts, zombies, etc.) that run wild throughout the film.

News of a casting offer being turned down has lead to a possible character spoiler leaking out in regards to Chris Nolan's highly secretive "The Dark Knight Rises".
! ! ! ! POTENTIAL MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD ! ! ! !
The Surrey Comet reports that eight-year-old actress Leilah De Meza was offered a role in the film but turned it down as the producers insisted the actress would have to shave all her hair off.
That role? A young Talia al Ghul, the character who is the daughter of Ra's al Ghul in the comics. Actress Joey King was eventually hired for the part which best guess is that she will appear in flashbacks alongside the younger version of Liam Neeson's Ra's character which actor Josh Pence is said to be playing.

Be aware as the article is all about spoilers, the comments section will almost certainly be as well so best to avoid it if you want to keep in the dark.

Judging by the buzz surrounding The Dark Knight Rises of late, you’d think the movie was due to hit theaters this Friday – as opposed to seven months (from the time of writing this).
Warner Bros. has begun to truly heighten anticipation for director Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie – between the initiation of the film’s viral marketing campaign, a press screening of the Dark Knight Rises prologue, and the release of an ominous poster that is all the more intriguing for fans who are familiar with the shared comic book history of the Caped Crusader and his main opponent in Dark Knight Rises: the terrorist Bane (Tom Hardy).
Following the Dark Knight Rises prologue press showing, Nolan and his spouse/producer Emma Thomas sat down with IGN to ...
