• The Evolution of the Batmobile

  

  One of the fun parts about new Batman movies are the Bat-gadgets and there's no greater Bat-gadget than the Batmobile.

  Several directors have taken liberties with the vehicle and we examine where they got their inspiration in The Evolution of the Batmobile.

• Peter Berg Takes on Hercules
  

  Variety reports that Hancock director Peter Berg will follow his superhero comedy with a retelling of the original chemically-enhanced muscle man, Hercules.
  
  Based on the five-part by Steve Moore from Radical Publishing, the Universal pic plans to stay very true to the comic.
  
  After Hancock's success, Berg is a busy man. He's also been signed to direct a new take on Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel, Dune.

• New DVD Release Spotlight: 21

  Debuting today on DVD is the card-counting thriller 21, directed by Robert Luketic and starring Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth and Jim Sturgess. It's inspired by Burning Down the House, author Ben Mezrich's true story of six MIT students who earned millions by mastering the game of blackjack. Fans of the book were generally disappointed with 21's emphasis of style over substance (hence the "inspired by" label), but the flick proved a success with theatergoers, earning over $80 million at the domestic box office.

  21's two-disc Special Edition DVD adds a bit more substance to the style, with an in-depth look at the art and science of card-counting. It's definitely worth a look -- whether or not you're an aspiring card shark.

• Double Ben Replace Ebert and Roeper
  

  There's no love lost between ABC and longtime At the Movies co-hosts Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper.
  
  Just a day after Ebert and Roeper's announcements that they were departing the show and Roeper's subsequent jab at the powers that be, Variety reports that ABC has already found two new hosts.
  
  Ben Mankiewicz has been the co-host on Turner Classic Movies for the past five years as well as well as hosting the obscure radio show The Young Turks.
  
  Mankiewicz is joined by Ben Lyons from E! News, The Daily Ten and his own The Lyon's Den.

  Ben Lyons is one of the WORST movie reviewers in the business and I find his reviews both sophmoric and just plain stupid. I loved Ebert and Roper, but this Ben squared thing proves the dumming-down of the American moviegoer, and the fall of the appreciation of art in film. I mean look at the guy, he's got a beer bong wrapped around his neck. Anyone who thinks that Into the Wild was better than No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood doesn't know a thing about movies!

• Will Christian Bale's Assault Arrest Delay Terminator Salvation?

  Reports are emerging that Christian Bale, star of The Dark Knight and the upcoming sci-fi reboot Terminator Salvation, was arrested yesterday in London. According to the BBC, Bale was held for questioning by Scotland Yard officials after his mother and sister alleged that the 34-year-old actor assaulted them. Upon his release, Bale's attorneys issued a statement saying that he "co-operated throughout, gave his account in full of the events in question, and left the station without any charge."

  Despite his superstar status, the soft-spoken, Welsh-born actor has generally avoided the spotlight -- and the tabloids -- throughout his career upsurge. The impact of his recent arrest on Terminator Salvation, which is currently shooting in the States for a planned May 29, 2009 release, is unclear at this point.

• The Fanboys Saga Continues Next Week at Comic-Con

  For an unpretentious indie comedy about a bunch of Star Wars nerds, Fanboys has generated an impressive amount of controversy. The movie, written and directed by Kyle Newman, first garnered interest in the online community when it screened to raves at last year's Comic-Con. But when distributor Weinstein Co. attempted to re-cut Fanboys and excise the flick's infamous "cancer" storyline, outraged fans issued petitions and threatened to boycott future Weinstein offerings.

  The nerds prevailed. And at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, some of them will get a chance to witness the fruits of their victory. The Weinstein Co. announced today that an exclusive screening of Fanboys (the cancer version) will be held at the Convention Center on July 24th, with free tickets handed out to the first 300 people in line at the Lucasfilm’s 7th Annual Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge Awards.

  I'm sure the line is already forming.
