THE DARK KNIGHT

According to Reuters, the city of Chicago took quite a pounding from the production. "Every day there was something being blown up or a high-speed chase or a free-fall aerial drop," says Richard Moskal, director of the Chicago Film Office. For us, the movie was breaking new ground. We don't want to hear months later there's a sewer line crack or that some quadrant of the city has no power."

DRAGONBALL

More interviews? Dragonball The Movie transcribed the Jump Square magazine interview with actor James Marsters, talking about playing Piccolo. "Definitely the story of this movie is different from the original," Marsters said. "But it's a necessary change because we need to condense the long story of the original for a movie. For example, some characters in the original don't appear in the movie. And we try to give it a more gritty and graphic (realistic) feeling."

WONDER WOMAN ANIMATED

Someone posted some concept drawings for the project on the Legions of Gotham message boards.

MORE COWBELL ...

We can't do this without you. The rumors, the scoops, the set photos -- they're all fueled by passionate fans emailing in the goods. The ones who ask, "What do you mean your sister's dating somebody who works for Warner Brothers?" The ones who know the code names of movie projects and scour city permit filings for them. The devoted, the involved. Fans, just like you. Whatever you know, we wanna know, and whether you want your name shouted to the web's rafters or kept closer than a classified report, we've got you covered like a comforter. Broadcasting live from Los Angeles, this is your humble scribe Hannibal Tabu saying thank you for your time and indulgence, thanks to Diamond reviews should be on line Friday afternoon (maybe Saturday) and by this time Monday, The Hundred and Four will be revealed to you.
