A bunch of movie photos have recently hit the net, and thankfully none of them feature Woody Allen in a speedo. Check it out ...
- JustJared has our first look at Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker and Prison Break's Amaury Nolasco on the set of The Night Watchman. There's a gallery of about 20 or so shots; all of which feature the men attending the funeral of a fallen officer. In the film (written and directed by David Ayer), Reeves plays a veteran cop (and recent widower) who's implicated in the execution of a fellow officer. He then must go up against the system he's called home for so many years in an attempt to clear his name. The scene in question must be the funeral of said officer, which (contrary to what I originally thought) will not be played by Nolasco.
- The Dark Knight is still shooting in Chicago, and Superhero Hype has obtained a group of photos which show Gary Oldman as Lt. Jim Gordon. Director Christopher Nolan can also be seen, as well as shots of a few Gotham police vehicles and a man dressed up in a SWAT uniform. I'm not sure if this scene has to do with the aforementioned bank heist, but, if so, it looks like it's going to be one heckuva robbery.
- A third photo has been released to the mysterious Cloverfield website, 1-18-08.com. This one is a bit fuzzy, and is timestamped 12:48a. In it, a few people walk through what looks like a cloud of smoke while holding their noses. If they didn't specifically tell us the time, I'd say J.J. Abrams was producing a 9/11-related film. You can also toss the photos around the page with your mouse -- not sure what that's about, but have fun.
- Finally, Woody Allen is spending his summer in Barcelona with his muse Scarlett Johansson. A few photos have arrived that show Woody, Johansson and a bunch of crew members hanging around the set of Midnight in Barcelona. From what we've heard, the film is a comedy (set in Barcelona) that revolves around a love triangle of sorts. Knowing Woody, he's writing the script as he shoots. The film also stars Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Patricia Clarkson.
'Prison Break' Actor Joins Keanu Reeves' 'Night Watch'

Fans of the Fox show Prison Break will be happy to know that Amaury Nolasco (who played Michael's cell mate Fernando Sucre) is beginning to line up some decent big-screen gigs. Apart from playing a role in Transformers, Nolasco has just signed on to the Keanu Reeves flick Night Watch, so says Variety. No word yet on who he's playing, but he may have snatched up the role that was originally rumored to be in Kevin Federline's hands. Not long ago, we reported that K-Fed had also been tapped to play a "small, but notable" role in the cop thriller, but folks from Fox Searchlight later denied those rumors, suggesting that K-Fed was considered but, ultimately, his schedule wouldn't allow him to take part in the action. His schedule? What the heck does this guy have to do -- shoot a shoe commercial?
Anyway, Night Watch was written and will be directed by David Ayer (Harsh Times), and the film will center on a veteran LAPD cop (Reeves) who is framed by his former mentor (Forest Whitaker) in the murder of a fellow officer. James Ellroy chipped in with a story credit, while the pic also stars Chris Evans, Naomie Harris, Hugh Laurie, Common and Jay Mohr. I'm a big fan of Prison Break (as cheesy and cliched as it is) and dig Nolasco as an actor. Since I lost the final six episodes of last season when I switched to an HD DVR, I'm not sure whether Sucre lived or not. When I left off, he was running through a desert (I think), trying to find the girl that got away. (Man, what some people will do for love.) Not that I want you to tell me what happened; I just felt you should know. Why? Because it gives me more to write. Night Watch is due out in 2008 -- here's hoping Ayer (who I interviewed this past fall) finds success with his sophomore directorial effort after Harsh Times failed to find much of an audience, despite a fantabulous performance from Christian Bale.
