TV legend and burgeoning comic book star Adam West has plenty of nice things to say about Christopher Nolan’s “gothic, nihilistic” Batman series, his old co-stars Julie Newmar and Burgess Meredith, and even nerds. But in a post written by West himself, it appears the Pow! ing, Zap! ping actor understands the continuing importance of Comic-Con, which is very much upon us. Read his sincere words ahead.

Apparently when you form a family from spare cast members of Glee , the Twilight franchise, and Law and Order: SVU , you might end up with an attractive ensemble. We watch such results occur in this on-set picture from White Frog , next year’s movie about “a 15-year-old with Asperger’s ( The Twilight Saga ‘s Boo Boo Stewart) dealing with a tragedy in the family.” Harry Shum of Glee and B.D. Wong of Law and Order: SVU (and the fabulous, Tony-award winning play M. Butterfly ) flank him. Don’t forget Joan Chen as the also-very-great-looking mom!

It wouldn’t be a Quentin Tarantino film without some kind of reclamation project (see: John Travolta, Robert Forster, Pam Grier, David Carradine, Michael Parks), and so Django Unchained finally feels complete. Deadline reports that Kevin Costner is in talks to play the villainous sidekick of Leonardo DiCaprio in QT’ s latest genre potboiler, a role that goes wildly against Costner’s all-American wolf-dancing ’90s-era type.

You know John Francis Daley from the Freaks and Geeks shrine you maintain in your rec room, but you may not realize that you also know him from his success as a screenwriter: His Horrible Bosses , which he co-wrote with Jonathan Goldstein (whom we also interviewed — stay tuned), pulled in $28 million over its premiere weekend, edging out even Bridesmaids ‘s debut. We caught up with the 25-year-old scribe, whose future projects with Goldstein include the Steve Carell starrer Burt Wonderstone and a remake of Vacation , and asked about Horrible Bosses ‘s original ending, dealing with success, and residual Freaks and Geeks fanaticism.

Paul actor/screenwriter Nick Frost is reportedly in negotiations for the seventh and final dwarf role in Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman . The English actor would join leads Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron — and fellow dwarf castees Toby Jones, Bob Hoskins, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham, Ray Winstone and Ian McShane. Eddie Izzard was in talks for a dwarf role as well, but it appears he may have fallen out in favor of Frost. [ Variety ]

Judd Apatow’s next film — his untitled writing/directing venture already starring Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Albert Brooks, and Megan Fox — just added its first dose of Bridesmaids lady magic to the cast in the form of Melissa McCarthy. ( Chris O’D owd was previously mentioned as in negotiations for a role.) Awesome! But: Is McCarthy the bawdy bridesmaid whose success you should be rooting for most?

In a blog entry posted Tuesday to his website The Red Statements, Kevin Smith spoke out again against critics of the unconventional plan to self-distribute his latest film, Red State , and explained how his twofold VOD /live Q&A strategy will work. (Boiled down to the post’s essential message: “Suck it, haters!”) And to think, just five months ago the world thought Smith’s Sundance stunting was all crazy-talk.
