Steven Spielberg Is Discussing Another Jurassic Park, and 5 Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today

Also in this Thursday edition of The Broadsheet: Someone was spotted on the set of The Dark Knight Rises... Jon Hamm could stalk Melissa McCarthy... The Expendables 2 gets a director... and more ahead.

· Welcome to Jurassic Park. Again. Again. Again. Steven Spielberg is reportedly kicking the tires on a fourth installment of the Jurassic Park franchise. The director has met with screenwriter Mark Protosevich to toss around ideas, but no script has been commissioned; the discussions are "purely exploratory," per Universal. For what it's worth, Spielberg only produced Jurassic Park III, so don't immediately expect that he'd direct this fantastical fourth installment in the franchise. [THR/Heat Vision]

· It seems that Christopher Nolan has added a cameo appearance from one of your favorite Batman Begins co-stars to The Dark Knight Rises. This is spoiler-y, so click through to HitFix to read the latest Batman rumor. Only 13 more months until this one comes out! [HitFix]

· Who could potentially play Javert opposite Hugh Jackman's Jean Valjean in Tom Hooper's Les Miserables? Perhaps Paul Bettany. Deadline reports that the Priest star read for Hooper, and sang songs from the musical. Les Miserables could go in front of cameras before the end of the year. [Deadline]

· Jon Hamm and Melissa McCarthy are being used as the "templates" for that Paul Feig-directed comedy Universal picked up last week. The Judd Apatow production is an "unconventional love story" about a guy (the Hamm-type) who stalks a girl (the McCarthy-type). Here's hoping these two actually wind up starring -- and here's hoping there's not as many "hot guy likes chubby girl!" jokes in the finished product as you might initially fear. [Deadline]

· Simon West has been tapped to direct The Expendables 2. Use this moment to fondly remember Con Air. [Deadline]

· The Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks to win the Stanley Cup on Wednesday night, which can only mean one thing: crazy, nonsensical, violent riots in Vancouver! Stay classy, Canadians. [ESPN]
