On Its Way to Glasgow, 'The Dark Knight Rises' Adds Law and Religion
Casting on The Dark Knight Rises isn't slowing up as Variety reports Brett Cullen ("Lost", Ghost Rider) and Chris Ellis (Transformers, Catch Me if You Can) have joined the cast as a judge and priest respectively.

"Surely you remember that the Cannes festival was established with the aim of struggling against fascists," the Iranian deputy culture minister Javad Shamaqdari wrote in a letter to the festival president, Gilles Jacob.»
