IRON MAN 2

Actor Robert Downey Jr. spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times about what you can expect to see in the sequel. "If he said he's Iron Man in the first film," Downey said, "it's one thing to say it and another thing to evolve to a point where you can live in a heroic fashion. Our goal is also more of the same in 'Iron Man 2.' We want to do what worked for us last time. I'm talking about telling more of the story of a guy put in extraordinary circumstances who has a family now and he's dealing with these forces. In 'Iron Man 2,' you will be able to understand various points of view about him that are far-reaching while this guy is still grounded in reality."

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS

In today's crazy rumor file, the New York Post's infamous Page Six claims that actress Angelina Jolie has been consulting with porn star Tera Patrick about how she should play Catwoman ... if she gets the role ... if Christopher Nolan agrees to another sequel. "They are friends and keep in touch via e-mail," said an unnamed source. "She and Angie have a girl-talk thing going. After seeing reports that she'll land the lead role, Jolie asked Patrick what she thought. Tera had such insights into the role that Jolie cracked, 'You should do it!'"
