With the wealth of The Dark Knight Rises material that’s come out over the past few months, it’s hard to keep track of it all. That’s why we went back through our posts and put together this massive image gallery for you. Now you can enjoy all The Dark Knight Rises images and posters gathered all in one convenient location. Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Liam Neeson. It opens in IMAX on July 20th. Hit the jump to check out the gallery.

In addition to the new banner posters for The Dark Knight Rises, we’ve stumbled across this new secret poster featuring Catwoman (Anne Hathaway). It’s a pretty slick little piece which reminds us that, while Bane (Tom Hardy) might be getting all of the attention as of late, both audiences and Batman (Christian Bale) shouldn’t forget about the feline femme fatale. Director Christopher Nolan’s closing piece to his Batman trilogy also stars Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Liam Neeson. The film opens July 20th. Hit the jump to see the new poster.

Did you like those seven new images from The Dark Knight Rises we ran yesterday? Or how about those two TV spots? Maybe you even enjoyed that editorial I did about what the future holds for the Batman franchise? Even if you dug all that stuff, we know that TDKR Beast is never sated, so we have more images from Christopher Nolan‘s highly-anticipated superhero flick.
Hit the jump to check out the images. The film stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th, so I’d expect at least 227 more images between then and now.

It turns out that American Idol is still good for some things, like airing this new TV spot for The Dark Knight Rises. Christopher Nolan’s epic final piece to his Batman trilogy is now less than two months away, but don’t expect the marketing to stop any time soon. We recently posted some new images, a slew of character posters and even the Tumbler and Bat-Pod on tour in all their gritty glory. This new TV spot gives us a better look at the Bat-Wing, which is good, since pretty much all we knew about it before was “it’s not a car.” There are also some new shots of Tom Hardy’s Bane accompanied by some dialogue I had to listen to twice to understand. Some good shots of Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne and Michael Caine’s Alfred sharing some dialogue. What are you waiting for? Hit the jump to check it out! [Updated with a second TV spot featuring Catwoman.]

Some casting info, including news that should make fans of Sean Bean very happy. Here it is in brief:

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, which they are billing as “the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.” It reveals our best look yet at Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) and Bane (Tom Hardy), plus tons of destruction and mayhem. It’s amazing. Just get yourself after the jump already and watch it.
Christian Bale, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine also star. The Dark Knight Rises opens on July 20.

In an attempt to avoid being overshadowed by The Avengers announcement from their superheroic counterparts at Marvel, word has it that Warner Bros. execs have seen a rough cut of The Dark Knight Rises, screened by Christopher Nolan. Since the movie doesn’t officially open until July 20th, that should give the director plenty of time to tweak things (say, for example, if certain characters’ voices aren’t clear enough). Heat Vision reports that studio heads in attendance included film chief Jeff Robinov and production president Greg Silverman. With The Dark Knight Rises opening so soon after Comic-Con (although Nolan has yet to attend), it would be a big surprise if there weren’t some sort of presence there this year.
The Dark Knight rises stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. Hit the jump for the synopsis and trailer.

Clive Owen and Billy Crudup are set to lead Guillaume Canet‘s crime thriller Blood Ties. Based off the French novel Les liens du sang, Canet’s English-language debut “centers on a younger brother (Crudup) who has to ask his convict older brother (Owen) to go back into the underworld to help out the family.” As we reported back in November, Mark Wahlberg, Zoe Saldana, and Marion Cotillard were circling the picture. In addition to the casting news regarding Owen and Crudup, THR reports that Saldana and Cotillard have signed on along with Mila Kunis and James Caan. Kunis and Cotillard will play love interests. Bullhead star Matthias Schoenaerts has been offered role, and if he signs on, this cast will be even more impressive.
Canet co-wrote the script for Blood Ties with We Own the Night writer-director James Gray. For those unfamiliar with Canet, I strongly recommend checking out this 2006 mystery flick Tell No One. If the financing on Blood Ties comes together, filming will begin in April in New York.

If you missed our earlier post about the new toys from The Avengers (which may or may not reveal the movie’s villain), then you wouldn’t know that the 109th annual American International Toy Fair starts rolling next week. We thought we’d get this party started with a few new toys from The Dark Knight Rises. They may not be as cute as the vinyl dolls we posted or as wacky as the Bobble Heads, but they do have one ace up their sleeve: the Batwing (Mattel calls it “The Bat”). There are copious amounts of Batwing goodies here, but if you want to see what your own hand-held model would look like, hit the jump.

It looks like the Gus Van Sant-directed drama starring Matt Damon and John Krasinski now has a title and a distributor. Known as Promised Land, Focus Features and Participant Media had the winning bid for the project co-written by the two stars. Although it was originally meant to be Damon’s directorial debut, scheduling conflicts prevented it. Promised Land stars Damon as a sales executive whose arrival in a small town turns his life upside down. Krasinski will play a rival corporate executive.
Also acquired today by Sony Pictures Classics was the Marion Cotillard-starrer Rust & Bone by director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet). The project is an adaptation from a book of shot stories by Craig Davidson. Hit the jump to check out more from both projects.

We’ve got quite a few set photos to share with you today, involving everything from Zach Galifianakis as a Southern politician in Chinese robes to Olivia Wilde in a luchador outfit. Briefly:

You never know what you’re going to get with Steven Soderbergh. He’s a chameleon, someone just as happy to do a project that cost ten dollars as a hundred million. And he likes to work. Even though he’s mentioned retirement, Contagion came out in September theatrically, and four months later his Haywire is coming out. Contagion stars Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Marion Cotillard and Jennifer Ehle in what amounts to a disaster film about a new virus that starts a pandemic. It may also be the best disaster film ever made. Our review of Contagion on Blu-ray follows after the jump.

The trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises has gone online. The trailer is full of ominous warning. Both Batman and Gordon brought peace to Gotham, but it looks like that has only served to massive destruction and Catwoman warnings. There’s plenty to like in the trailer: the set design, the tone, the chanting, and how the frame is packed with action. But there’s one shot that had me cracking up and it’s the destruction of the football field. I watch that and all I can think is, “Bane just seriously fucked over my fantasy football team.”
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20, 2012.

Marion Cotillard may be joining Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) in David Dobkin’s Arthur & Lancelot. According to Vulture, Cotillard has been offered the role of Arthur’s sorceress half-sister, Morgana (aka Morgan le Fay). If the new take on the Arthurian legend keeps with modern portrayals of Morgana, she’ll likely be the film’s villain. If Cotillard passes on the role, expect Warner Bros. to go after someone at a similar level of fame (i.e. an actress who’s better known than TV stars Harington and Kinnaman, but isn’t in the price range of someone like Angelina Jolie or Natalie Portman).
Hit the jump for more details on the film. Arthur & Lancelot is slated to open on March 15, 2012. Cotillard will next be seen in The Dark Knight Rises. She’s also attached to star in the Jacques Audiard (A Prophet) suspense/thriller Rust and Bone. [Update: Representatives for Cotillard have informed us that she's not involved with Arthur & Lancelot.]

Mark Wahlberg, Marion Cotillard, and Zoe Saldana may star in French actor Guillaume Canet‘s English-language directorial debut, Blood Ties. According to The Playlist, the film is a remake of 2008′s Les Liens Du Sang, which Canet starred in but did not direct. The story is set in the 1970s and centers on “two brothers, one a cop, the other a criminal fresh out of the joint.” Wahlberg’s The Yards and We Own the Night writer-director James Gray is working on the script with Canet, and now Screen Daily reports that Wahlberg is circling the role of the cop (for those keeping track, this would be the fifth time Wahlberg has played a cop. There’s no word yet on whom Cotillard (who is also Canet’s partner) or Saldana would play, and Canet may co-star as well.
Canet is probably best known to American audiences for his 2006 thriller Tell No One (Ben Affleck is set to direct the US remake), but he’s also directed the Cesar-nominated Mon Idole and Little White Lies. Gray’s next film, a period drama tentatively titled Low Life and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Jeremy Renner, and Cotillard is set to start shooting in January.
