Finally after all the speculation and rumours Harvey Dent (aka Two-Face) has been cast for the upcoming Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. Dent is to be played by Thank You For Smoking star and all round awesome actor Aaron Eckhart. I personally can’t be happier with this choice and just to add some more good news the current actress rumoured to replace Katie Holmes is uber babe Maggie Gyllenhaal.
It’s been fact for quite some time that Hideo Kojima has been preparing for a Metal Gear Solid movie. Just recently, it has come to light that Sony Pictures Entertainment will be working with him to develop and produce this movie.
What interests me is where the need for such a film comes from. MGS is well renown for it’s ratio of videos to gameplay, with some cut-scenes taking around 20 minutes in the middle of the game. They’re well produced, epic stories with great direction and narrative. So why is a movie essential? I guess this is the opportunity Hideo is wanting to go all out on the cinematic dramatics, but it will still be quite bizarre to see and hear another Snake at the cinema. Unless they get David Hayter to play Snake.
In the same announcement, Sony Pictures Entertainment vice chairman Yair Landau also suggested an Everquest movie being in the works.
This game to movie fad is rapidly turning into an epidemic, and has grown quite a bit since the Kylie Minogue in skin-tight camouflage suit days.
The Bazura Project is not only this weeks link of the week and the spanish word for trash, it’s also a television show on Australia’s channel 31 but don’t let that scare you away. It was created by Shannon Marinko and Lee Zachariah an online journalist most known for his Downunder column for Ain’t It Cool News, using the pseudonym Latauro.
The show has a funny and informative line-up with an opening movie related spoof, news, a feature story, an interview and finally a movie review. This leads to it not only being the funniest thing on C31 (not a difficult feat) but also a show that rivals many on the major networks.

Well with the changes to the site rolling along nicely it was time to slap up the forums, so I did and damn if they ain’t sweet.
So if you want to have a chat about a post, a movie you just saw, game you just played or you just want to tell us how much we suck, swing on by.
While the Gamecube had a small selection of rhythm and dance games, it surely wasn’t up to its other console competitors. Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix provided a small burst of DDR action, but nothing like what was provided on PS2 and XBOX. Donkey Konga was fun, but nothing revolutionary.
Irrelevant to revolutions and past titles, the Nintendo Wii will be a different story. Within one week, both Konami and Red Octane announced that their rockin’ and dancin’ juggernaut titles will be hitting the Wii.
Dance Dance Revolution on Wii will use both a dance-pad and the wii-mote for players to dance with. Titled “Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party”, it’ll boast 4 player support with a variety of new modes.
The Guitar Hero announcement left quite a few details missing. All we know for sure at this stage is that we’ll be rocking out on both Wii and DS. While some sources are claiming the Wii version will come with it’s own Gibson-S style guitar controller, details from Activision are minimal.
Well it’s here folks the trailer for Uwe Boll’s new directorial master piece Postal, and from looks of the trailer this might be the only type of film he can make that’s watchable. You can check it out below and you can also have a listen to the great interview done by my good friends over at Australian Gamer.
Straight after the poster release, EmpireOnline and Yahoo Movies have managed to get their mitts on the MA15+ rated UK trailer and the US trailer for the upcoming comedy Knocked Up.
