Transporter 3 coming soon.

“With the success of “The Transporter” and “Transporter 2,” completing the trilogy seems like a no brainer. Yet, there has been little confirmation about plans to move forward, until now. Producer Luc Besson suggested a start date for a third adventure of Frank Martin the Driver.

“Probably March/April,” Besson said, referring to 2008, not the current month.

Besson created the character and cowrote the scripts, as well as produced the first two “Transporter” films. Expect him to remain creatively involved in part three. “It’s too much fun,” he grinned like a little kid playing with his toys.

With an early 2008 start, it is conceivable that the film could be finished in time for the September slot the first two films had. However, these are still early talks and Besson is not announcing any release dates.”

Gyllenhaal to star in The Dark Knight

Variety is reporting that Maggie Gyllenhaal, most recently seen in “Sherrybaby” and “Stranger Than Fiction,” is in final talks to take over as Christian Bale’s childhood friend/love interest in “The Dark Knight,” currently set for a summer 2008 release.

The last set of “Batman” films became a revolving door for the actors wearing the cowl — Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney had all worn black latex before the series’ ignominous end in 1997’s “Batman & Robin” — so it would be sort of fitting if a different ingenue stepped into Rachel Dawes’ pumps for each new “Batman” movie. Who’s next — Rachel McAdams? Jessica Biel? Bea Arthur? The possibilities are endless!
