| 'Women in Love'' director Ken Russell dies Posted: 28 Nov 2011 02:28 AM PST LONDON: Ken Russell, the British director of Women in Love and The Devils, has died at the age of 84, the BBC said on Monday. Media reports said he died in his sleep on Sunday night. Russell began his career with the BBC and went on to direct some of the most controversial and violent films of the 1960s and 70s. Women in Love, a 1969 adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's novel, became infamous for its nude wrestling scene between actors Alan Bates and Oliver Reed. Russell was criticised for the level of violence in the 1971 religious drama The Devils. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
| Christian Bale hanging up his Batman cape-report Posted: 27 Nov 2011 06:31 PM PST LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Dark Knight Rises" may be Christian Bale's final performance as crime-fighting superhero Batman, the actor told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Set for release in July, the movie is Bale's third stint as Gotham's Caped Crusader for director Christopher Nolan, after "Batman Begins" (2005) and "The Dark Knight" (2008). "I wrapped a few days ago, so that will be the last time I'm taking that cowl [Batman hood] off," Bale told the newspaper during an interview in Beverly Hills. "I believe that the whole production wrapped yesterday, so it's all done. Everything's finished. It's me and Chris - that will be the end of that Batman era. The 37-year-old actor's comments, published late last week, weren't his first indication that he might have reached the end of the Batmobile ride. Bale told E! News in November one year ago that "unless Chris says different, this will be the last time I'm playing Batman." Bale, who received an Oscar last year for his supporting performance in "The Fighter," next appears on the big screen in Zhang Yimou's China-set period drama "The Flowers of War." He'll also star in two films from "Tree of Life" director Terrence Malick. Joining Bale in "The Dark Knight Rises" are Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anne Hathaway, as Catwoman. Film actors who have preceded Bale in the dual role of Batman and his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, include Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
