--- Blessed By Bale - It must be good to be Christian Bale. I mean, duh. Obviously! (Besides the whole "rae" thing or whatever.) Slash breaks down the five roles Bale's apparently got on the table as possibilities for him to follow up The Dark Knight Rises with and they're like a hit list of good goddamns. He could do "A Star is Born directed by Clint Eastwood, Gold directed by Michael Mann, Oldboy directed by Spike Lee, Out of the Furnace directed by Scott Cooper or... Noah directed by Darren Aronofsky". You can find more about each of those if you're unfamiliar at the link. I have to say he might be a great choice for Oldboy, if remaking Oldboy were at all a good idea. But Spike Lee directing, Bale starring... it'd be something you'd have to see, at least. Anyway let's help him make his decision...

--- Dark Del Toro - The remake of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is out on Friday so we're gonna be seeing interviews with Guillermo Del Toro everywhere - if you hadn't noticed, he likes to talk. Here's one over at AICN. I love how when he's asked what time in a kid's life it's alright for them to view horror movies he basically says he lets his little girls watch as much horror as they want. Damn straight! Gotta warp 'em early, ya know.

--- Getting Warmer - I've talked about the upcoming "zom-rom-com" Warm Bodies before - it's based on a book by Isaac Marion that I read forever and a week ago and the film's set to star Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer - who's totally ready to be a star, she was so beyond charming in the terrible Take Me Home Tonight (also, the lucky girl dates Scott Speedman in the real life). BD's reporting that Rob Corddry has joined the cast as one of Hoult's friends, a fellow zombie named M. It's been so long since I read the book I don't remember the deal with that character though. Oh well! The movie will seem all new then. Shooting starts next month.

--- Tacos For My Ben - Since I don't tend to watch videos at my office (it's impossible to turn up the sound here) I thought this story about Robert Rodriguez making a horror movie about killer tacos next was a true thing, which was alarming. Apparently it's just a joke, which I would know had I listened to the video. It can be so confusing, being me.

--- Boy Wonder - This picture of a pubescent Jake Gyllenhaal is adorable. Adorable! Meanwhile I thought the teenage shot of Matthew Morrison (barf) was Vincent Cassel!

--- Sewell Seconded - Alex Proyas once made a really good movie, and that movie is called Dark City. He then went and made a whole bunch of crap and depressed everybody that found that early film so enthralling. He's making some sort of action-horror version of Milton's poem Paradise Lost right now, which okay? It's starring Bradley Cooper as Lucifer and Benjamin Walker as the archangel Michael, and now the star of Proyas' Dark City Rufus Sewell is in talks to join the cast. I like Sewell also mainly because of that film, so this reunion hits a happy place. Bring on Kiefer Sutherland then! (That's the first time I've ever said that sentence.)

--- And finally, aww I like this pic of Megan Fox hanging with Chris O'Dowd (cutie from Bridesmaids) and Jason Segel on the set of Judd Apatow's This Is Forty (via). I know it's everybody's pastime to knock her, but fuck that, MNPP is in her corner still.
