It has been known for over a year now that the final Harry Potter book would be separated into two individual films. However, what has bothered fans for months is where exactly this split would take place in the context of the story?

Entertainment Weekly revealed today that the split would take place late into the book: "“Part I will end at about Chapter 24 of the book, with Voldemort gaining possession of the Elder Wand, one of the three Deathly Hallows that allow the bearer to conquer death.”


This comes as a shock to many fans, who expected the split to happen earlier in the course of the plot. This means that the majority of the final film will be dedicated to the Battle of Hogwarts and the resolution of the series.

Warner Bros, Rocksteady Studios, and Game Informer announced today that the much anticipated sequel to the highly sucessful Batman: Arkham Asylum is do for release fall of 2011 for Playstation 3, PC, and Xbox 360.


The game will feature a larger environment, new characters, villains, gameplay, and plot. Catwoman, Mr. Freeze (voiced by Maurice LaMarche), and Ra's al Ghul's daughter Talia al Ghul (voiced by Stana Katic) will make an appearance.


Mark Hamill also confirmed that this will be his last ever performance as the Joker, a role he first took on in the 90's Batman Animated Series.

It appears that the science fiction genre is in fact making a resurgence in modern film. Today Warner Bros. studios reported to Variety that they have bought Colin Trevorrow's science fiction script World War X. The plot apparently surrounds a group of government agents who are tasked with stopping a time travelling terrorist.

Joe Silver and Andrew Rona are producing with Chris Bender, JC Spink, Alex Heineman and Jake Weiner as executive producers.
