The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray Art?

With The Avenges now out on home video (review here), the inevitable Blu-ray and DVD announcement of The Dark Knight Rises is just around the corner.

A few images from the UK release of The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray and DVD, as well as some images from a Batman Trilogy box set, have already started popping up all over the internet today, courtesy of ComicBookMovie and DCU Movie Page. It's unclear if these are official or fan-made just yet. Some of the images look fairly legit, while others are a little more questionable. Take a look and judge for yourself:

Meanwhile, actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt, out promoting Looper (review here), spoke with Collider and shot down any hopes of seeing those rumored deleted scenes from The Dark Knight Rises. "Every movie has a longer cut which gets edited, and deleted scenes implies that there’s whole chunks of the film missing. It’s not that, it just gets tightened up in the editing process."

It's certainly possible Joseph Gordon-Levitt simply doesn't know about the deleted scenes, but his statement feels fairly definitive. We should know more in the coming days. The Dark Knight Rises is tentatively slated to come home December 3, 2012. Expect an official announcement from Warner Home Video very soon.

Tom Hardy May Climb Everest

The Dark Knight Rises' Tom Hardy is in early talks to star in director Doug Liman's period adventure film Everest for Sony Pictures.

Deadline reports that the actor would play George Mallory, the 1920s climber who tried three times to scale the world's highest mountain. After disappearing on his third attempt, it is still unknown whether or not Mallory ever reached the top.

The film was adapted by Up in the Air scribe Sheldon Turner from Jeffrey Archer's book Paths of Glory.

Liman will direct Everest once he's completed shooting Tom Cruise's All You Need is Kill for Warner Bros.

BSG Creator Bringing A Knight's Tale to TV

According to Deadline, the creator of Syfy's Battlestar Galactica, Ron Moore, is adapting the 2001 Heath Ledger movie, A Knight's Tale, as a potential series for ABC.

Where does BSG Rank on IGN's Top 50 Sci-Fi TV Shows List?

Tudyk, Ledger and Addy from A Knight's Tale.

ABC has bought the project, from Sony Pictures TV, with a script commitment. This new televised version of the Ledger film, which also starred Shannyn Sossamon, Marky Addy, Alan Tudyk and Paul Bettany, is expected to stay close to the original story of a commoner posing as a knight, as well as contain the same off-beat style, complete with the addition of modern music.  In the 2001 film, the songs "We Will Rock You" by Queen, "Low Rider" by War, "Golden Years" by David Bowie and others were used, despite being anachronisms.
