Sets will include Gotham City, Wayne Manor, the Batcave, and Arkham Asylum. The production will feature stunts, pyrotechnics, illusions, and video screen sequences.
Caprica Ends on DVD. . .For Real

Extras on the three DVD set will include a Season 1.0 recap; seven video blogs; podcasts with director David Eick and season stars Eric Stoltz, Magda Apanowicz, Esai Morales, and Sasha Roiz; and feature episode commentary with executive producer Kevin Murphy.
Casting the Bat
Director Christopher Nolan is casting The Dark Knight Rises, with six actresses currently up for two female leads, the Bruce Wayne love interest and an un-named villain, according to Deadline Hollywood. Christian Bale will reprise his role as Batman, and Tom Hardy will likely play a villain.
The 500 Simpsons
Already the longest-running animated program and prime-time entertainment show in TV history, The Simpsons was just renewed for its 23rd season this morning, which will take the show through its landmark 500th episode — leaving it third behind Gunsmoke (635) and Lassie (588) as the prime-time show with the most episodes ever produced. The renewal means The Simpsons will be on the air at least through spring of 2012, though producer Al Jean seems confident it will continue well beyond that, and is already planning episodes for a 24th season, where something happens.

The programming event will kick off Friday night (November 26th) with a special episode of Hubworld, a weekly pop culture magazine will focus on Transformers: Prime. Hubworld will be follow-ed by a making-of special, and then the first two episodes of the series. The full miniseries will then air on consecutive evenings beginning the following Monday, November 29th. Characters will include Autobots Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Decepticon Megatron, and new human characters.
Rise in the Knight
Director Christopher Nolan has begun revealing details on Batman 3, which starts shooting early next year. The title will be The Dark Knight Rises, and the villain will not be the Riddler, he told the L.A. Times Hero Complex blog. Nolan also revealed that the film will be shot with high def cameras with plans for an Imax release, and will not be 3D.
What Caprica Should Have Been in the First Place
Syfy has greenlit a two-hour pilot for a third Battlestar Galactica series from executive producer David Eick, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome. The new storyline will take place between the events in Caprica and the core Battlestar Galactica series, in the 10th year of the first Cylon War. It follows the adventures of the very young William Adama, a newly graduated pilot recently assigned to the Galactica. “Blood & Chrome will… return us to the authentic relentless depiction of combat and the agony and ecstasy of human-Cylon war, which was the hallmark of Battlestar Galactica’s early seasons,” Eick said of the new series.
The Rocky Horror Picture Remake
A remake of the cult hit movie Rocky Horror Picture Show is being developed by Fox 2000, with Glee creator Ryan Murphy one possibility to direct, according to Deadline Hollywood. Glee is running a Rocky Horror episode in which the cast performs the well-known Time Warp number next week. Rocky Horror, which was originally released in 1975, is still playing in midnight shows in some locales, and has a devoted fan following. It also was a merchandise driver, with a range of products appealing to those for whom the film’s edgy take on Frankenstein was a badge of hipness.
Disney Buys More Marvel
Disney has bought the distribution rights to The Avengers and Iron Man 3 from Paramount, effectively ending Paramount’s distribution deal for Marvel-produced movies early. The price was $115 million, an advance that could go up depending on the take from the two films. Paramount will distribute next year’s Captain America and Thor movies as planned, and will continue to have rights to Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2. The pay TV deal for The Avengers will remain with Epix under Paramount’s existing arrangement. Disney Chairman Rich Ross said of the new arrangement, “Disney will… leverage these two highly-anticipated films across the multiple global platforms of the Walt Disney Company,” which we interpret to mean that Disney will now be able to double- and triple-dip on these films using Disney-owned channels, rather than just getting a fee from Paramount. Iron Man 3 has now been given a release date of May 13, 2013. Avengers is set for May 4, 2012.
