Way back in February of last year, PCM reported that Lakeshore Entertainment had green-lit a film adaptation of the Darkstorm Studios graphic novel I, Frankenstein – a film-noir story created by Kevin Grevioux (Underworld) about Frankenstein’s Monster working as a private investigator in the city of “Darkhaven,” standing between humans and an uprising of supernatural creatures determined to overthrow the world. It was also originally stated in an official press release that Patrick Tatopoulos (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) was set to direct.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Stuart Beattie – primarily known for co-writing such films as 30 Days of Night and the Pirates of the Caribbean films – has been chosen to write and direct the film. No word was given on why a new director was chosen, but tentatively the plan is for Beattie and company to start shooting the film this fall!

AICN posted a video interview with Gary Oldman that they found from Absolute Radio where Oldman speaks cryptically about The Dark Knight Rises – discussing briefly how the writers have brought the story full circle and how the ending of the film is not actually in the script (although they know what it is)! I could keep telling you more about the interview, including what he says about actor Tom Hardy‘s role (who plays Bane in the film), but you probably would rather just watch the video, right? Check it out below!

So, a couple of days ago, it was officially confirmed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play a role in The Dark Knight Rises. Variety (a highly reputable source) updated their report, saying that he’ll be playing Alberto Falcone, son of Carmine “The Roman” Falcone from Batman Begins.

However, EW.com is now reporting that, while he is indeed confirmed for the film, recent reports claiming he’ll be playing Alberto Falcone are FALSE.

So which report is accurate? Only an official announcement from Warner Brothers can answer that. In the meantime, it looks like speculation can continue. If you want my opinion, I really still hope he’ll be playing Falcone, but I am sure that he’ll be good no matter what the role is. Stay tuned as more details emerge…

Thanks Tony Carlson for the heads up!
