Anthony Hopkins to Play 'Bond 23' Villain?

In what may go down as one of the best James Bond casting moves ever, Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins is reportedly up for the villain role in the as-yet-untitled 'Bond 23.'

The report comes from The Sun (insert grain of salt here), which quotes a source as saying, "The only stumbling block seems to be the number of films he is signing up for. There is a chance the character they want him to play could become a regular feature, like Blofeld back in the day." No other information about the character was given.

Whether or not the report is actually true, the idea of Hopkins playing a villain in a Bond movie (or any villain, really) is enough to get us excited. He knows how to make even the biggest of baddies charming (hello, 'Silence of the Lambs') and would be a perfect match for Daniel Craig's tough-guy persona.

Twenty-one-year-old actress Mia Wasikowska is entering the prime of her movie career, thanks to key roles in the $1 billion-grossing 'Alice in Wonderland' and the Oscar-nominated indie 'The Kids Are All Right.'

This Friday, she steps into even bigger shoes, taking on the title role in Cary Fukunaga's adaptation of the Charlotte Bronte novel 'Jane Eyre.'

Moviefone recently spoke to the actress about the movie, during which she revealed what it was like having Michael Fassbender and Jamie Bell pining for her affections and why corsets are just as painful as they look. She also gave us the scoop on working with Glenn Close in the upcoming movie 'Albert Nobbs.'

'The Chronicles of Rick Roll' Trailer: Andrew Fischer Is Never Gonna Give You Up

If you thought 'The Chronicles of Riddick' wasn't bad enough, then prepare yourself for 'The Chronicles of Rick Roll,' executive producer Andrew Fischer's new movie that pieces together a seemingly endless number of Internet memes into one surprisingly coherent story.

The story itself is simple: Rick Rolland (Fischer) meets a beautiful girl online, only to watch her get sucked into the treacherous Internet portals. In order to save her, Rick must travel inside the Internet himself, where he meets a number of Internet-made celebrities, from Bed Intruder Antoine Dodson to Double Rainbow's Paul Vasquez. It's sort of like 'TRON' meets meets 'Alice in Wonderland' meets 'Lord of the Rings' meets every other major blockbuster from the last five-to-10 years.

But before you go calling 'Rick Roll' the next 'Date Movie,' check out the trailer (after the jump), because, for all of its hyper-meta references, and as much as this author hates to admit it, it's actually kind of funny. There are a number of clever cameos (among them "Boom goes the dynamite!"'s Brian Collins) and Fischer seems to be self-aware enough to know that what he's doing is ultimately silly. Best of all, not once did it play that awful Rick Astley song.

Michael Fassbender is on the verge of a breakout year.

After starring in such movies as 'Hunger,' based on the 1981 hunger strike at Maze prison, and Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning 'Inglourious Basterds,' this year the German-born actor is finally stepping into leading-man territory in America -- first, with 'Jane Eyre,' in which he plays the brooding Rochester.

Moviefone recently spoke to Fassbender about his role in the beautifully shot adaptation, co-starring 'Alice in Wonderland' beauty Mia Wasikowska. We also got the scoop on a number of his upcoming projects, including the much-anticipated 'X-Men: First Class,' as well as 'Shame,' which reunites him with 'Hunger' director Steve McQueen.

'Burlesque' hits DVD shelves today, and Moviefone was lucky enough to chat with the film's director, Steve Antin, about his eye-popping movie musical, which stars newbie actress Christina Aguilera as an aspiring singer who climbs the ranks at a local L.A. burlesque club run by none other than Cher.

We also talked about everything that's happened since the movie hit theaters in November, from the Oscar snub of the Golden Globe–winning song 'You Haven't Seen the Last of Me' (boo!) to Cher's (undeserved!) Razzie nomination.

After the jump, read his thoughts on what inspired him to write 'Burlesque,' the future of movie-musicals in Hollywood and why America is being a little too hard on Aguilera right now.
