Is this picture from Captain America: The First Avenger of Haley Atwell as Peggy Carter new? Maybe. Either way, she's super cute and we're posting it. Thanks to The Daily BLAM [1]. io9 [2] has a laundry list of reasons (actually, just three) why a sequel to Green Lantern, as it was set up in the first film, would not work. On the off chance you want to see the movie and have yet to, we'll just direct you there [3] to read the spoiler-filled but completely logical analysis. ComicBookMovie [4] believes they have a reliable source telling them when Zack Snyder's Man of Steel will be shooting in Illinois. Below is the email, there's more info there. we have a street closure schedule, so we are assuming that is filming time. Main St. will be closed August 6 and August 22-29. Sorry that is all of the info I have right now. Most of us probably don't go to gossip sites like Hollywood Life [5] (via Batman News [6]) but maybe we should.

Read the full press release over on PR Newswire [9] for all the info. Anne Hathaway has been training vigorously for her role in The Dark Knight Rises. We know this because she did the cover story on the new issue of Harper's Bazaar [10] (via CBM [11]) and there, not a movie site, she talks a little bit about it: Anne's preparation for her role as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, the next Batman installment (currently filming in Pittsburgh), has been more than cosmetic. She has been working out five days a week — rigorous exercise and stunt training followed by an hour and a half of dance. "I've always thought that skinny was the goal, but with this job I also have to be strong," she says. The Wrap [12] has an article called "Too Many Men in Tights?
