Domino’s Pizza have launched “The Dark Knight Vault” where you can watch an extended trailer with new footage, along with a bunch of other stuff. Every time we get a new trailer I think that’s the final one, however Warner Bros just keep on giving, which is both bad and good depending if you want a Dark Knight overload or not.

The site is slow as hell at the moment, probably due to all of the traffic by footage hungry Batman fans, so if you have the patience click the image below!

Update: You can view the trailer here!

It is common for directors to cast their actor friends in their movies. Peter Jackson has Andy Serkis, Tim Burton has Johnny Depp and Guillermo del Toro has Doug Jones, so it is no surprise to here that del Toro is looking for a role Doug would be well suited for in The Hobbit.

“There’s been lots of speculation. I wouldn’t want to ruin anything. Guillermo creates things with me in mind and he’s got a better image of what I can do than I do,” the man otherwise known as the Silver Surfer and Abe Sapien told MTV News, a wicked and knowing smile across his face. “However, there might be an elf king, father of Legolas kind of character that I would love.”

That would be King Thranduil, king of the Silvan elves in the northern part of Mirkwood, where Bilbo and his company of dwarves spent a large portion of their time towards the end of the novel. Known simply as the ElvenKing throughout “The Hobbit,” Thranduil gets into it pretty fiercely with Thorin over the Arkenstone, a fight that isn’t resolved until, well, until his son Legolas and Gloin’s son Gimli become friends during the events of “Lord of the Rings.”

I’m pretty sure everyone knows that the script for The Hobbit hasn’t even been written yet, so nothing is certain. However, the doesn’t stop people from talking about things.

Things are never simple when it comes to The Lord of the Rings. There was lawsuit after lawsuit, and now the second Hobbit film, that was supposed to be a bridge between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring, could be at risk.

It seems there is an issue of copyright, which Guillermo Del Toro points out:

In the four books that are in the domain of the copyright, there are appendices and ideas and things that can be traced without risk. But I have to be careful not to overstep. We believe there is a way to create this film and make it interesting, but it’s too early.

So they can create a second film from the ideas and appendices that exist, however they have to be careful about wandering into other areas they don’t own the copyright to.

Del Toro also went on to say:

We believe there is a second movie, if there isn’t, there will not be. If we find it, we will shoot it, but by God, if we do not find it, we will not shoot it. I am anxious to shoot the book, and I’m willing and able to dedicate myself to shooting the [second film].

It seems at the moment nothing is certain and they still do not know whether to split The Hobbit into two movies, or contain it into one.

Guillermo Del Toro says on the TORn message boards that things will get started once he has finished his Hellboy 2 rounds and Peter Jackson has finished work on The Lovely Bones.

…says the voice over man on the third and possibly final trailer for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. As usual it looks weird and wonderful, and I believe some monster and creature lovers would call it a visual orgasm.

Around the 1 minute mark some music starts to kick in, which was also used in a trailer for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This inevitably started to get me thinking about Jessica Alba and I have no idea what happens in the last 40+ seconds of the trailer. This is why movies shouldn’t use the same trailer music!
