Batman 3 shooting begins next April

Nolan's hardly resting, however, as he's currently turning his attention to the hotly anticipated Batman 3, which producer Warner Brothers has set for a July 20, 2012 release date.

Paris Hilton was spotted topless as she enjoyed her Italian holiday.

The 'House of wax' star was spotted jet skiing, and sunbathing topless and hanging with her friends on a yacht, reports Radaronline.com.

The heiress and her friends were off the coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, and wearing a top didn't seem to be necessary.

Previously, Hilton was questioned and released by police at the airport in Corsica when they discovered less than a gram of marijuana from here.

Soon-to be launched biography of Angelina Jolie might change the way people think about the star, claims the author.

Andrew Morton, author of the upcoming book "Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography," has revealed many unknown things about Jolie in the book.

"Angelina Jolie is a woman who lives in plain sight. But what you see is certainly not what you get, as I discovered when I started to look at the reality of her life as opposed to the public image," the New York Daily News quoted Morton as saying.

"I think my biography will genuinely change the way people view her and the way she sees herself."

On Jolie's obsession with death Morton said: "She wants to see what it''s like on the other side. It''s not that she wants to kill herself; she is curious about the experience of death."

Morton, who became famous with his sensational best-selling bio 'Diana: Her True Story' has promised that his latest book, due out Aug. 3, would expose the woman he describes as "one of the most fascinating and enigmatic celebrities on the planet" for who she really is.

"Over the last year, I have spoken to everyone from ambassadors to directors, fellow actors and even her one-time drug dealer to present a compelling portrait of a beguiling yet elusive woman," added Morton.

American actor Mickey Rourke is set to play the role of gay British rugby star Gareth Thomas in a new biopic.

Rourke thought Thomas would be the 'perfect model' for a movie after reading a report about him 'coming out'.

Rourke and Thomas met for dinner after Rourke appeared as a guest on Jonathan Ross' last BBC chat show.

Both their managers are in talks now to make a movie based on the life of Wales's most-capped rugby union international, reports The Sun.

Rourke wanted to do a movie on rugby since some time but couldn't, until he read Thomas' suitable story.
 

Archaeologists have found the remains of London's first theatre in a London yard the site where William Shakespeare's plays were performed.

Archaeologists have been digging since 2008 and have uncovered a section of outer wall and floor surface from the building, completed in 1576 and known simply as 'The Theatre' whose timbers were later used to build 'The Globe' theatre.

The Tower Theatre Company bought the site a few years ago and asked Museum of London archaeologists to have a look.

"We thought we'd better find out whether there was anything under there that would stop us building," the Canadian Press quoted Penny Tuerk, chair of the troupe''s trustees, as saying.

"And they came back and said, ''Actually, we've found a bit of Tudor brickwork.'' We got tremendously excited at that point,' he added.

 The remains of 'The Theatre', were Elizabethan drama flourished more than 400 years ago, were discovered underneath a Victorian warehouse.

It is thought that plays including Romeo and Juliet and The Merchant of Venice as well as works by Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd  were performed at The Theatre, which served as a base for Shakespeare's troupe, the Chamberlain's Men.

The remains of the original theatre will be displayed under glass as part of the new building, but the structure will be thoroughly modern.

"We're not trying to recreate the 16th-century theatre. We're trying to recreate the spirit of the 16th-century theatre,' said Tuerk.
