New Batman Movie
Oh this poor theme hasn't been beaten into the ground enough yet. I just found out about the movie today from an ad, and then I came home and watched the trailer. It looks as though this new director is trying to out-Tim-Burton Tim Burton in terms of thriller-ness, plus adding a little bit of choreographed martial arts (a la Kill Bill) and some nomad shit (a la Lord of the Rings) for good measure. The love interest is Katie Holmes. The villian is some Asian dude.
It seems like a good rule of thumb that no one should ever try to be Tim Burton, EVER (unless you're Tim Burton; and a Tim Burton who wouldn't do things like the Nightmare Before Christmas, at that). I can't say for sure, but I have a hunch that this project could be heading straight into disaster.
Or maybe this new director is just trying to expunge from our collective memories that Batmans 3 and 4 (and 5?) ever came into being. Well, Nicole Kidman was interested in the project...and that should have been Joel Schumacher's first hint.
