JUNO TEMPLE CONFIRMED FOR "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" CAST - Juno Temple ("Year One," "Atonement") has joined cast of "The Dark Knight Rises" in an unspecified supporting role according to Variety.
This comes hot on the heels of the addition of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who will be re-uniting with his "Inception" director Christopher Nolan and cast mates Tom Hardy (Bane) and Michael Caine (Alfred) in the third Batman film to star Christian Bale.
Rumors persist online that Temple will be playing "a street-smart Gotham girl," leading to fan speculation she could be playing a female version of Robin. But a better bet is that she's in line for the character of Holly Robinson, who in the comics was a friend to Selina Kyle (Catwoman), to be played by Anne Hathaway.
"FRINGE" GETS A FOURTH YEAR FROM FOX - FOX announced that the critically acclaimed and cult fanboy favorite TV show "Fringe" will be back for a fourth season to further explore the mind boggling alternative universe storyline that has captivated its audience.

"When we moved the show to Fridays, we asked the fans to follow and they did. We're thrilled to bring it back for another full season and keep it part of the FOX family."

WHO'S CIRCLING TO BE THE NEXT "SUPERMAN"VILLAIN? - Director Zack Snyder has been pretty tight lipped while promoting his latest film "Sucker Punch" when it came to spilling any juicy details regarding his upcoming Superman reboot film, starring Henry Cavill as the Man of Steel.
However, he did set the record straight regarding whether Viggo Mortensen will be suiting up as a super villain in the film.
"Viggo is not going to be in the movie, let's say that right now. I can clear that up," he told Latino Review, clearing up his rumored casting as General Zod.
Mortensen will more likely co-star alongside Kristen Stewart in the title role in "Snow White and the Huntsman."
A new name has been added to the bad guy casting mix courtesy of Deadline: Michael Shannon ("Boardwalk Empire," "Revolutionary Road"). They report that he is being looked at for a possible role as the still unnamed foe set to face off against the Man of Steel.
