Brian Eno, the legendary music producer who’s worked with U2 countless times and most recently on Coldplay’s latest album, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends,” is on board to score Peter Jackson’s latest film, “The Lovely Bones,” says Collider.

Based on the critically acclaimed best-selling novel by Alice Sebold, and directed by Oscar winner Peter Jackson from a screenplay by Jackson & Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens, “The Lovely Bones” centers on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family—and her killer—from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal. Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg and Oscar winners Rachel Weisz and Susan Sarandon star along with Stanley Tucci, Michael Imperioli and Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan.

“The Lovely Bones” opens December 9, 2009.

Speculations around which actress will don the skin tight leather suit as Catwoman in “Batman 3″ keep on growing. E! Online’s columnist Ted Casablanca recently threw out Rachel Weisz’s name among those considered for the female villain part, writing, “Warners sources are leaking to us that Rachel Weisz is being considered for the Catwoman role, too fab.”

The gossip blogger then continued, explaining, “But Warners officially isn’t saying bubkes. But other insiders working on the next installment, to follow up where The Dark Knight left off, say it’s all so a go.” In addition, he mentioned that at the moment the casting of Catwoman is leaning more toward the “The Constant Gardener” actress, instead of Angelina Jolie.

Previously, it has been reported that Jolie has been making inquiries for the villainous role as reported by New York Daily News back in July. About a month following the breaking out of that rumor, another speculation came out on the feline fatale part. This time, it was said that singer/actress Cher has been considered to take on Catwoman by “The Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan.

On other “Batman 3″ rumors, E! claimed that Nolan will indeed return as the director for “The Dark Knight” sequel, while the Batman himself, Christian Bale, will reprise his role. Adding more on Bale’s superhero part in “Batman 3″, Casablanca wrote, “we’re very pleased to report that he’ll be playing a ’sexier’ Bruce Wayne.”

Rachel Weisz is to star as Blanche DuBois in a new production of Tennessee Williams’s A Streetcar Named Desire at the Donmar Warehouse next July.

The British actress is best known for her big screen work, with film credits including The Land Girls, The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, About A Boy, Definitely Maybe and The Constant Gardener, for which she won an Academy Award in 2006. On stage, Weisz was last seen in The Shape Of Things at the Almeida theatre in 2001, and before that Design For Living and Suddenly Last Summer in the West End.

This production of A Streetcar Named Desire, for which exact dates are yet to be confirmed, will be directed by Rob Ashford, who made his directorial debut with the Laurence Olivier Award-nominated production of Parade at the Donmar last year. Also a choreographer, Ashford previously choreographed Guys And Dolls at the Piccadilly theatre, Evita at the Adelphi and Thoroughly Modern Millie at the Shaftesbury.

Williams’s 1947 Pulitzer Prize-winning play centres on faded Southern belle Blanche DuBois, who visits her sister Stella and Stella’s brutish husband Stanley in New Orleans, with devastating consequences.

The play was last produced in London at the National Theatre in 2002, with Glenn Close as Blanche and Iain Glen as Stanley, directed by Trevor Nunn.

Further casting for this new production at the Donmar Warehouse is yet to be announced.

The Mummy star admits it was a tall task to undertake for the upcoming comedy adventure, particularly because she was stuck with a Serbian music teacher - and they struggled to overcome the language barrier.

She says, “We were in Serbia when we were doing the scenes and I learned the accordion with a professor who spoke no English and I spoke no Serbian. I just wished someone had made a documentary of me trying to learn the accordion because it was so silly.

“Then I had to learn the banjo, guitar and fiddle. I was doing my homework in my room for hours learning the chords. I had to look as if I knew how to play these instruments.”

But Weisz, who stars as an heiress who is cheated by conmen played by Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo, admits there was one other skill she had to master - and that was the hardest of all.

She adds, “Most difficult were the card tricks. I never knew how to shuffle a pack let alone do this amazing card trick. I had to learn with someone from the Magic Circle. That was no fake, believe me.”
