“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Andy Whitfield,” said Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht in a statement.

“We were fortunate to have worked with Andy in ‘Spartacus’ and came to know that the man who played a champion on-screen was also a champion in his own life,” Albrecht continued. “Andy was an inspiration to all of us as he faced this very personal battle with courage, strength and grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will live on in the hearts of his family, friends and fans.”

The plot has not yet been revealed for the sequel to ‘Batman Begins’ and ‘The Dark Knight’, in what looks set to be the last time Christian Bale dons the iconic uniform of Bruce Wayne’s alter ego.

This film will have plenty to live up to after the superb Dark Knight, with the unprecedented performance from the late Heath Ledger as The Joker, in what is seen as one of the best Batman films to date.

Once again Christopher Nolan will direct The Dark Knight Rises, so expect another action packed and sinister film, which has captured the attentions of many new fans to the Batman series.

Even though we don’t know the plot of the upcoming movie, we do know Anne Hathaway will be playing Catwoman, whilst Tom Hardy will be playing Bane, the man mountain who appeared in ‘Batman and Robin’ when George Clooney was the Caped Crusader.

Once again, the likes of Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox and Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon will appear in the next instalment, as they hope to aid Batman in his continuing struggle with evil foes and himself.

The film is set for release on July 20th 2012, so now try to put to the back of your mind what you have just read, as it will make the countdown to the release date seem much quicker! If you need some diverting entertainment to make the wait seem less boring, check out Fosters’ new online reeves and Mortimer videos.

Giuseppe Tornatore was born in 1956 in Bagheria near Palermo, Sicily. At an early age, he took up photography and won many prizes in national competitions. He made his directorial debut at sixteen, with the short film “Il Carretto,” which brought him to the attention of RAI television, with which he began a close collaberation in 1979. Several TV films followed in rapid succession: “Portrait of a Thief,” “Meeting with Francesco Rosi,” “Sicilian Writers and Films: Giovanni Verga, Luigi Pirandello, Vitaliano Brancati and Leonardo Sciascia” and “Il Diario di Guttuso.” In 1982, he won a prize for Best Documentary at the Salerno Film Festival for “Ethnic Minorities in Sicily.”

From 1978 to 1985, he was the president of the CLTC filmmaking cooperative. On the CLTC-produced “A Hundred Days in Palermo,” starring Lino Ventura, Tornatore served as co-scriptwriter and second unit director.

He made his feature film debut in 1986 with “Il Camorrista” (“The Professor”), adapted from Giuseppe Marazzo’s novel and starring Ben Gazzarra and Laura del Sol. His next film, “Cinema Paradiso,” starring Philippe Noiret, shot on location in his hometown of Bagheria, Sicily, brought him international fame.

Giuseppe Tornatore’s third feature, “Everybody’s Fine” (“Stanno Tutti Bene”) stars Marcello Mastroianni as an elderly Sicilian patriarch who travels throughout Italy on a private mission to bring his five grown children together around one table. It was successfully released in the U.S. in 1991. Since then, he contributed a segment, “The Blue Dog,” starring Philippe Noiret, to the the 1991 omnibus film “Especially on Sunday,” which also included films by Giuseppe Bertolucci and Marco Tullio Giordana.

“His films touch the soul of Sicily, transcending the ordinary, the conventional, the stereotypical. Giuseppe Tornatore was born and raised in Bagheria (outside Palermo). He started working very young as a photographer, publishing in various photographic magazines. At the age of sixteen he staged two plays by Pirandello and De Filippo. For the cinema he has made various documentaries, including Il Carretto, highly acclaimed at several regional and national film festivals in Italy.

In 1979 be began a long collaboration with RAI (Italy’s national television network), for which he directed several programs. From 1978 to 1985, he was chairman of the CLCT Cooperative, which produced Giuseppe Ferrara’s film 100 Days in Palermo, with Lino Ventura. Tornatore also co-wrote the screenplay and directed the second unit. In 1986 he made his debut in feature films with Il Cammorrista (“The Gangster”), starring Ben Gazzara. Freely adapted from the book by Giuseppe Marrazzo, this singular motion picture won Tornatore a Golden Globe for best new director.” wrote Michele Parisi in Bestofsicily.com

Susan Walker: “But when he spoke Dutch to that girl…”
Doris Walker: “Susan, I speak French, but that doesn’t make me Joan of Arc.”
Doris: “Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don’t you see? It’s not just Kris that’s on trial, it’s everything he stands for. It’s kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles.”
Susan Walker: “You mean it’s like, ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.’”
Doris Walker: “Yes.”
Susan Walker: “I thought so.”
Fred: “That baseball player sure looks like a giant to me.”
Susan: “Sometimes people grow very large, but that’s abnormal.”
Fred: “I’ll bet your mother told you that, too.”
Kris Kringle: “Now wait a minute, Susie. Just because every child can’t get his wish that doesn’t mean there isn’t a Santa Claus.”
Kris Kringle: “If that’s normal, I don’t want it!”
Kris Kringle: “You know what the imagination is?”
Susan Walker: “Oh, sure. That’s when you see things, but they’re not really there.”
Kris Kringle: “Well, that can be caused by other things, too.”
Doris Walker: “I was wrong when I told you that, Susie. You must believe in Mr. Kringle and keep right on doing it. You must have faith in him.”

A Charlie Brown Christmas
Schroeder: This is the music I’ve selected for the Christmas play. [Schroeder plays Fur Elise]
Lucy Van Pelt: What kind of Christmas music is ‘that’?
Schroeder: Beethoven Christmas music.
Lucy Van Pelt: What has Beethoven got to do with Christmas? Everyone talks about how “great” Beethoven was. Beethoven wasn’t so great.
[Schroeder stops playing]
Schroeder: What do you mean Beethoven wasn’t so great?
Lucy Van Pelt: He never got his picture on bubble gum cards, did he? Have you ever seen his picture on a bubble gum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who’s never had his picture on bubble gum cards?
Schroeder: Good grief.
