Chicago – Taiwan has an interesting cinematic history, as outlined in the strong interview with Asian-cinema critic Tony Rayns on the recently-released Blu-ray of Edward Yang’s “Yi Yi (A One and a Two…).” The country didn’t really have a film industry until the ’50s and then it was purely propaganda for the next several decades as China tried to win over the hearts of the residents after taking over from Japan.

It looks like Batman 3 will be a reality, not that there was any real doubt. It's now got an official release date: July 20, 2012, joining a crowded summer that includes the Spider-Man reboot, Madagascar 3, a new Star Trek movie, and The Avengers (not to mention The Hobbit later that year). If the world is going to end, at least we're going to get our money's worth at the box office first. (Christopher Nolan, however, has not officially signed on. He will, though.)
Doug Liman (Bourne Identity, Go) is reportedly circling Gambit, a Joel and Ethan Coen-scripted remake of the 1966 British caper comedy which originally starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. It's one of several projects that Liman is considering, including another Three Musketeers movie and a moon mission project with Jake Gyllenhaal. We'll make a full announcement if he signs. (Deadline)
