Christopher Walken, Ashley Greene, Shirley MacLaine, and Adam Beach will star in the mystical drama
The Boom Boom Room. In a slightly bizarre pairing, Bono will be executive producing the film alongside acclaimed art house director Wim Wenders (
Wings of Desire). There are no details on the plot other than it’s “a magical tale set in a desert milieu.” Writer/director Lian Lunson tells
Screen Daily “This has been a vision of mine for a very long time. The story captures the essences of everyday life but in a fairy tale landscape. It is a dream to be working with Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Walken, both of whom are playing roles unlike anything they’ve done before.” I’ll pay $10 just to hear Christopher Walken say “Boom Boom Room”, but only on the condition that I also get it as a ringtone.

Christopher Nolan has been trying to keep production on The Dark Knight Rises as secret as possible, but the first set photo may have already leaked out. The set photo shows the front of Arkham Asylum on what appears to be a soundstage. The person who posted the photo says “my good mate who is working on set at cardington where it’s being shot sent me this.” It’s possible that this is a leftover set photo from either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight, but if that’s the case, then we will be denied the fun of over-speculating on how Arkham figures into the plot of TDKR.
Hit the jump to check out the set photo.
The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Morgan Freeman, and
possibly Marion Cotillard. The film opens on July 20, 2012.
