As we continue to wait for news on Half-Blood Prince, some of our favorite actors have been busy with other movie projects, and we have a few updates regarding those tonight.

First up: The new trailer for “The Tales of Despereaux,” an animated film featuring the voice of Emma Watson is now online via Yahoo movies. Based on the best selling book, this film is due in theaters December 19.

Next: “Good” starring Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortensen. The trailer for the film based on the powerful play by C.P. Taylor features Jason in a departure from his role as Death Eater Lucius Malfoy to part of a Jewish victim caught up in the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany. You can see the trailer here via YouTube or here in our video galleries. This film is expected to be released later this year.

Mamma Mia, its Mamma Weasley, singing! Well sorta, as Julie Walters (Molly Weasley) will soon be seen in the film Mamma Mia, based on the hit musical featuring the songs from the group ABBA. Enjoy!

“The Dark Knight”: Marketing is in high gear for this next installment in the Batman series, and there are a host of new clips and trailers for this film starring Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Christian Bale, and the late Heath Ledger here via a special Comcast site and here via the official WB The Dark Knight website.

Older news, but still worth checking out are the following list below.

Like fine wine, Alan Rickman keeps getting better as seen in his newest film “Bottle Shock,” a movie about the wine business.

Jim Broadbent (Professor Slughorn in the upcoming “Half-Blood Prince”) can currently be seen in When Did You Last See Your Father? with Colin Firth.

Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) is in the dark thriller “The Disappeared. Please note the trailer for this film is quite intense and contains disturbing subject matter not suitable for younger viewers.

Thanks to everyone who has emailed!

The Tale of Despereaux looks like a great holiday treat. I also enjoyed the other trailers. Thanks a lot for posting them.

I’m curious whether or not Rupert and Matt Lewis will be doing any stage, tv, or screen work this year before starting the next HP movie. Rupert’s Driving Lessons film wasn’t bad, but I’m curious as to why he doesn’t pick up other work. Same for Matt. They seem to have the talent for acting. And, it would be nice to see them in other work.

The film with Jason Issacs looks very intriging. Viggo Mortenson is a terrific actor as well. Jason played the jilted husband in The End of the Affair and was terrific as the father in Peter Pan. So he doesn’t just do bad guys, but I have to admit I wanted him dead in The Patriot. He was worse than Lucious Lucius.

Rickman won best actor at the Seattle International Film Festive with Bottle Shock. Apparently it is to be released in August to limited cities and theaters..

For all you Colin Firth fans he is also in Mamma Mia. He said something about Spandex on Letterman. Very funny, but very dry sense of humor.

And lastly I really hope we get to see When Did You Last See Your Father. It too was shown at the SIFF. Didn’t win any awards but looks like a great tear jerker.

One more, I was watching Batman Begins on TV a few weeks ago. I had not seen it before. I kept asking my DS who the police officer with the glasses was-he looked really familar. It wasn’t until the credits that I realized it was Gary Oldman—her really is the master of disquise.

Um… Gary Oldman played that char in Batman Begins, of course he’d reprise for The Dark Knight… he’s a very loyal type person.

WOW! I need to know when the Disappeared comes out it looks so good and I usually don’t like these kinds of movies.

omg! I have to see ‘The Disappeared’ by far the best trailer I have seen in these, although i did like the ‘Dark Knight,’ and ‘Good’ those were right up my alley too!
