Tuesday night on Conan actor Paul Giamatti (Sideways) confesses he's campaigning to play The Rhino in a Spider-Man movie professing his affection for the brute villain. Currently The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is under going script development so there is a possibility of the Rhino making an appearance. There have been rumors ever since Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 that the Sinister Six a group of villains that come together to kill Spider-Man could be involved in a two part film. The Rhino being a member could give a reason to finally include him. Other members include Green Goblin, Doc Oc and Sandman which are expected to return in future films.

Keira Knighley Replacing Marion Cotillard In Cronenberg's Cosmopolis?

ThePlaylist says that Keira Knightley could possibly be taking over the female lead in David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis. Marion Cotillard originally was set to star but likely had to leave over her recent pregancy. It's not the first casting shake up on the film as Robert Pattinson took over for Colin Farrell who left to focus on Total Recall. Paul Giamatti has been in talks for a role in the film but nothing has been confirmed. The production starts shooting in May so an announcement should be made soon.

While I'm not a fan of Pattinson's work I'm curious to see anything made by Cronenberg. It would make sense to see Knighley join the production as the role would be the wife of Robert's character. The actors are similar in age and make more sense to be paired up. Keria recently worked with Cronenberg on the film A Dangerous Method and could have made an impression with the director. I'm curious if Knighley is still up for a role in The Dark Knight Rises.
