Here are some of the top news stories of the day so far….

• Dark Knight producer Charles Roven is developing a new project entitled, Damascus Gate. The film will be ”a political thriller involving a journalist and a group of extremists in modern-day Jerusalem.” [THR]

• Someone tapped into the lighter side of the Watchmen, by making fun of the film’s latest trailer. Phil &Drew, the Walking Tacos Dubbs overdubbed the promo dialogue, and took a stab at director Zack Snyder’s over stylized “vision”11.   [/Film]
