Christopher Nolan is looking for an actress for the 3rd movie of his Batman franchise

According to Collider, "In obvious Batman 3 news, director Christopher Nolan is apparently meeting with actresses this week in order to find his female lead for the upcoming Batman film. As we reported just a couple of weeks ago, Nolan has already set his Inception star Tom Hardy to join the next Bat-flick, and now casting for the film seems to be moving right along. Moviehole reports that several young actresses (late 20’s to early 30’s) will be visiting Warner Bros. this week to meet with Nolan and producers. Security is so tight on the film that many of the leading ladies don’t know what role they’ll be reading for. (...) What we do know at this point is that Nolan is definitely back as director working from a script written by himself and his brother, Jonathan Nolan, and the film is set for a July 20, 2012 release date. Michael Caine previously said that filming would “probably start in May” of next year. Nolan has also stated that they had found a nice way to round out the trilogy and to bring the story he began in Batman Begins to a close, so it’s presumed that this will be his last foray into the Batman legacy."

So, let's start speculating about who can be the choosen actress and for which role.
I can easily see Rebecca Hall working with Christopher Nolan again, specially after her incredible performance in The Prestige, where she also showed a great chemistry with Christian Bale. But there are also names like Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada; The Young Victoria), Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose; Inception), Diane Kruger (Inglorious Basterds), Anna Kendrick (Up In the Air) or even Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain; Wendy & Lucy) that seem great options to me - they are beautiful women with good acting chops.

I'm sure Nolan will make a good choice, just because he knows what he does!

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

REVIEW: "The Secret Agent" / "O Agente Secreto"

Genre: Drama; Comedy; Thriller; Crime Director: Kleber Mendonça Filho Writer: Kleber Mendonça Filho Starring: Wagner Moura, Alice Carvalho, Gabriel Leone, Maria Fernanda Cândido, Isabél Zuaa, Udo Kier and Tânia Maria I was fortunate for having Kleber Mendonça Filho presenting the film himself in my session, because he recalled some aspects of the movie he wanted the audience to be aware of: this movie represents an act of resistance and an ode to the importance of the press and cultural spaces (like a theatre) as powerful weapons against authoritarian regimes. So, The Secret Agent is actually some kind of parable about acts of resistance in the form of a political thriller - it's a slow burning film that is smartly balanced with truly funny comedic scenes and some moments of pure human joy that show the movie's true heart beneath its disguise - it's more of a satire to a corrupt system than a manhunt film. It's some kind of cinematic marvel in its own right. The story ...
