We’ve posted one picture of Heath Ledger as The Joker already.

Now, here’s the latest shot of the most well-know Batman villain, courtesy of The Dark Knight…

As Johnny Depp takes on another eccentric role in Sweeney Todd, he recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the film.

Here’s an excerpt:

Musical lovers and Stephen Sondheim fanatics know Sweeney Todd really well. What about the general public? Somebody sent me this thing from online. Somebody said, after they saw the trailer, ‘’I don’t understand why in the middle of that trailer Depp broke into a song.’’ Like, ‘’Whoa — What is he doing?’’

Singers say Sondheim’s melodies can be incredibly tough. Why? It’s real obtuse stuff. When you start to take those pieces apart, melody line by melody line, it’s a lot of half-steps, which is not real easy to do. Kind of go G to A-flat to A to B-flat. It’s super, ultra complicated, these notes that shouldn’t work together at times. But he made them so.

How messy was it filming Sweeney’s really bloody scenes? I remember everyone except me being covered in plastic trash bags. There’d be a countdown. Three, two, one…action! And then blammo, you know? The great deluge. The process we shot in called for a slightly over-the-top kind of color. They were going to desaturate it later, so they had to bring the color up on the set. It was kind of orangeish. A very unnatural-looking color.

What does all that fake blood smell and taste like? It tasted kind of like a Karo-syrupy sort of thing. It was oily. And it was dangerous. Slippery. You’d see these big English grips, tiptoeing through the swamp of blood. Very surreal.

Sacha Baron Cohen plays another barber in Sweeney Todd. What’s he like when he’s not Borat or Bruno or Ali G? He’s not what I expected. I didn’t look at those characters and think, This will be the sweetest guy in the world. He’s incredibly nice. A real gentleman, kind of elegant. I was impressed with him. He’s kind of today’s equivalent of Peter Sellers.

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen have signed on to star in Duplicity.

The film will be directed and written by The Bourne Identity series scribe Tony Glroy and will follow longtime lovers who happened to work as spies on opposite sides. They team up to stage an elaborate con to rip off corporations and steal a valuable product.

Roberts and Owen, of course, starred together in the controversial movie Closer. They’re pictured together here from it.

Filming is expected to take place next March.

Some people may think Ryan Gosling was too old or too fat to play a role in The Lovely Bones.

But his co-star in Lars and the Real Girl, Emily Mortimer, doesn’t seem to have a problem with Gosling. Check it out:

Comedy troop Broken Lizard is fast-tracking its next feature, Slammin’ Salmon, for production early next year.

Kevin Heffernan, Jay Chandrasekhar, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Eric Stolhanske, whose previous efforts include Super Troopers, Club Dredd and Beerfest, have raised the film’s finances independently in order to make the film before the proposed Screen Actors Guild strike.

The movie’s plot will revolve around a former heavyweight boxer turned restaurant owner who pits his staff against each other in a Glengarry Glen Ross-style competition with high stakes and hilarious results, which is the status quo for these University of Colgate graduates.

According to IGN, Steven Spielberg thanked his cast and crew as they shared a toast before filming the final shot on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this week.

You can actually watch the celebratory moment online at IndianaJones.com.

During a recent chat with IGN and other members of the media on the Universal Studios lot, Spielberg confirmed that the Russians are villains in the fourth installment of the hugely popular franchise, which he says is accurate given the film’s 1950s time period.

He also said that from the movie’s opening shot you can immediately tell who these villains are and why.

When asked about Shia LaBeouf taking over the mantle of action hero from his co-star Harrison Ford, Spielberg simply said that LaBeouf has a lot of big things in his future, including multiple Transformers movies.

Mark it down, fans:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters on May 22, 2008.

If you own a TV, you know that Jerry Seinfeld is coming out with an animated feature Bee Movie. He hasn’t exactly been shy about hyping it.

Below, Entertainment Weekly asks the comedian a few questions about the project…

So why bees?
I love utopian societies, which is what they live in - it seemed like a very ’60s corporate environment to me, where people believed in the company, and government, and society. I love that. To me, utopia is an old Jack Lemmon movie. Growing up, I thought that would be the ultimate life, to have a convertible and work in an office in Manhattan.

What was it like working with Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks? Did he help you out a lot?
He did. He adjusted my acting in some scenes, and he made some huge plot adjustments that were very, very key to us solving the story.

Like what?
Well, this is embarrassing to tell you, but I’ll tell you. At one point in the movie, we have this adventure sequence with a plane. But it all got kind of action-adventurey. It felt like a Raiders of the Lost Ark kind of scene. And Steven watched it one day and he said, ”What happened to the silly movie?” And I said, ”Well, this is the action part.”

He says, ”No, you gotta keep the silly going all the way.” So as a comedy person, I was quite embarrassed to be told that, you know, you’re supposed to be funny here. We eventually figured it out.

After years of contract disputes with Fox, why is X-Files 2 finally coming to theaters in July, 2008?

Ironically enough, X-Files Creator Chris Carter said the impending writers’ strike played a role in getting Mulder and Scully back on the big screen.

“If we don’t do it now and the strike was protracted, it would force the movie to come out several years from now,” Carter said. “And that was too late. It was either now or never.”

That works for us. Look for X-Files 2 (an exact title is yet to be released) on July 25, 2008.

We love Shrek, but can’t say we’re too excited about a fourth installment of the franchise. Where will it end? Will we be watching Shrek the 78th from nursing homes?

Nevertheless, we can say we love puns, so the title of the fourth movie in this series is at least appealing: It will be called Shrek Goes Fourth and it’s scheduled to hit theaters on May 21st, 2010.

Get in line now for the best seats!

The script isn’t written yet, but check this out from Jeffrey Katzenberg (DreamWorks co-founder):

“Ultimately we will come back to understand how Shrek arrived in that swamp. We will reveal his story… It’s a finite story, has been from the beginning and I think that’s part of its integrity, part of its strength, that we’re not thinking this up as we go.”
