Christian BaleChristian Bale would be keen to take on a third Batman movie, provided director Christopher Nolan was involved, according to an interview in the new edition of Entertainment Weekly.

Bale said he believed the superhero’s current celluloid incarnation, which started with Nolan’s Batman Begins in 2005 and continues with this summer’s The Dark Knight, would work best as a trilogy.

“Knowing the Dark Knight story, I would like very much to complete a trilogy, and I think that knowing the story of The Dark Knight, it leaves you anticipating something that really can get very, very interesting for a third. Now, the question would be: Is Chris going to be doing it? Because to me I find it tricky to imagine working on it without it being a collaboration with Chris.”

Producers working on Heath Ledger’s final film have vowed not to alter the tragic star’s last performance, even though the actor never got the chance to complete the project before his untimely death.

Johnny Depp to replace Heath Ledger in ‘Dr Parnassus’?

By Fiona | Jan 25, 2008 | Movie News (0) Comment

Johnny DeppDirector Terry Gilliam is determined to finish shooting Heath Ledger’s last film ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’ with Johnny Depp in his place.

Filming on the set of the fantasy movie was allegedly abandoned following the death of the actor, who was found dead in his New York apartment on Tuesday afternoon (22Jan08).

But reports now claim Gilliam is keen to have the Pirates of the Caribbean star stand in for the tragic Ledger to complete the remaining scenes.

A studio source tells The Sun:‘There is a point in the film when Heath falls through a magic mirror. He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in. It’s a weird, fantasy, time-travel movie so Heath’s character could easily change appearance. It would be a poignant moment.’

‘Johnny’s not working at the moment so everyone is praying he will do it.’
