If, the character of Balian is an historic one, can the use of the character in the movie Kingdom of Heaven be in breach of copyright?
Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At least we know what it'll take:
Halle Berry will return to the X-Men franchise for a third movie if her role as Storm is more prominent than it was in the first sequel. Speaking to fans on her website, the Catwoman star has revealed she'll happily return as Storm if the character has a bigger part. She writes, "I have not read the script. All I asked is that, if I come back, Storm needs more to do. If they have, in fact, written her closer to the comic book, then I'm in... If not, then I'm out. I hope I'm in though. I love Storm and really want to be a part of the last film." Also in her latest posting, Berry confirms that a planned James Bond spin-off for her sexy character Jinx has been scrapped. She adds, "I would have loved to (have reprised that character) but that issue has been put to bed. Maybe some day I will do a cameo in a Bond movie as Jinx."
Cute:
Actor Richard Gere swept Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi off his feet after agreeing to dance with the fun-loving leader yesterday. The hunky star is in Japan promoting his latest movie, a re-make of the Japanese smash hit Shall We Dance and he jumped at the chance to dance with Koizumi, on the condition that he could lead. Gere said, "I'll be the man," before the pair strutted their stuff in Koizumi's office in Tokyo. Koizumi, labeled 'the Japanese Richard Gere' because of his resemblance to the 55-year-old star, says, "He is a great person. Such a great movie star." Gere was equally impressed, saying, "It's a great honor for me to have the moments I've had with the prime minister. He's very generous." The Japanese film buff is no stranger to sharing the limelight with Hollywood's finest: he once sang a duet of Elvis Presley's "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" with Tom Cruise, while the A-lister was promoting The Last Samurai two years ago.

ita -- so she's saying that the problem with the protrayal of Storm in the movie, was the way that it was written?

Well, she seems more interested in quantity than quality. Maybe she hasn't noticed she sucked. Or maybe she was acting petulantly and thinks that's reasonable.
