Heath Ledger Cameo in The Dark Knight Rises?
The Scarecrow's cameo in the beginning of The Dark Knight was a great way to tie together the first and second films. Unfortunately, Heath Ledger's sudden passing made it seem as though we would not be seeing any of his character in the third film.

Inception Score Being Turned Into an 'Augmented Sound Project'
I have no idea what an augmented sound project is supposed to mean, but namedrop Inception and you can call me intrigued. A company called Reality Jockey created an iPhone app called RjDJ, which WiredUK says "detects ambient sounds, rips out samples or mutates them into harmonies, then intelligently mashes them up with what’s playing."

Now this isn't huge news simply because of the fact that we've all pretty much assumed Nolan would take the job for a while now. Although, there was always a little fear in the back of my mind that Nolan would avoid the director's chair, whether for artistic or personal reasons.

Nolan Discusses a Possible ‘Inception’ Video Game
Inception was without a doubt, my favorite film this year so far. While 2010 is so far a pretty weak year for memorable films, it remains a brilliant highlight that ranks among my favorite movies of all time. When it came out, I asked my fellow writers what their reaction would be if a followup film to Inception was announced.
