Director David O. Russell reunites with two of his stars from The Fighter, Oscar winner Christian Bale and Amy Adams, for American Hustle, which also stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro (all of whom previously worked with Russell on Silver Linings Playbook). Jeremy Renner rounds out the star-studded ensemble.

The crime flick (set against the backdrop of the ABSCAM case) has an especially Scorsese-esque vibe to it, wouldn’t you agree?

Sony has slated American Hustle for a December 13th release.

Nolan & Bale Not Back for Justice League?

Last month, it was reported that Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale were possibly returning for Warner Bros.’ Justice League movie. However, it now sounds like they may not be back after all.

Scoop masters Latino Review were on the Schmoes Know Movies podcast to discuss the matter. They say the studio was revved up to welcome back its Dark Knight duo for their upcoming JLA pic, with Nolan producing and Bale potentially reprising his role as Batman. However, Warners is now reportedly having trouble getting Nolan onboard, as the director doesn’t want JLA messing with the continuity of his Batman films. There was even some hesitancy surrounding Man of Steel’s Superman appearing in the film (Nolan is a producer on that picture).

Christian Bale to Part the Red Sea?

Christian Bale is now reportedly in talks with 20th Century Fox to star in Ridley Scott’s Moses movie.

The upcoming film, titled Exodus, was originally scripted by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, but the project was recently made a studio priority after Dragon Tattoo scribe Steve Zaillian came on board for a rewrite. (The writer also worked with Scott on American Gangster.) According to Deadline, Fox hopes to get the ball rolling as soon as Scott completes work on his other film The Counselor.

This news comes hot on the heels of Steven Spielberg‘s departure from another Moses project, Gods and Kings, which is set up at Warner Bros. Life of Pi director Ang Lee is next in line for that one, although he’s yet to formally meet with the studio about it.

This Media Stock Is Going to Keep Crushing Apple

By Tim Beyers and Alison Southwick, The Motley Fool

Filed under:

Think old tech stocks can’t be new tech stocks? If you do, then you’re wrong. Just look at Time Warner , which has not only crushed the S&P 500 over the past year but is also up more than 70 points on Apple over the same period.

Expect Warner to keep winning. Why? Christopher Nolan. According to the website Latino Review, which has an admirable record when it comes to breaking news about comic book movies, Nolan is close to taking a job that would given him complete oversight of Warner subsidiary DC Comics’ big-screen projects, which, in turn, could lead Christian Bale to return as Batman in a future film. At least one site has debunked the rumor.

If Warner investors remain hopeful, it’s for good reason. Walt Disney has hired franchise builders Joss Whedon and JJ Abrams to handle two of its most important properties and with spectacular results so far. Nolan is in that same class of filmmaker.

Will a deal get done? What remains for the DC cinematic universe? The Motley Fool’s Alison Southwick asks Tim Beyers of Motley Fool Rule Breakers and Motley Fool Supernova for his perspective in the video below. Please watch, and then leave a comment to let us know what you think.

Apple may be lagging right now, but the story is far from over, says Eric Bleeker, The Motley Fool’s senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief.

Batman/Superman Film Should Happen Before JLA

The Internet is constantly abuzz with superhero movie rumors these days, but one of the biggest at the moment is Latino Review is reporting that Christian Bale will reprise his role as Batman in the Justice League of America movie, despite his Bruce Wayne effectively hanging up the cape and cowl at the end of The Dark Knight Rises. The site also claims that Christopher Nolan will oversee development of JLA in a sort of godfather role.


It remains to be seen if these rumors will pan out. However, the rumor has us wondering all the more if it’s really such a good idea for Warner Bros. to be jumping from this summer’s Superan reboot, Man of Steel, straight into a JLA ensemble movie. We’re of the opinion that it might be better to to build slowly towards JLA and first offer fans a movie that almost came to pass a decade ago – a Superman/Batman movie. As DC’s two biggest heroes, they’ve enjoyed a long history together in the company’s various World’s Finest comics and similar projects. In this feature, we explore why it might be better to go the World’s Finest route first and save JLA for later on the calendar.
