Hey guys, I made it back from my two-week trek through Japan, and I'm still a bit jet-lagged -- which means I was up earlier on a Saturday morning than I've been in a very long time. So I thought I would go through and collect a bunch of the news stories that we may have missed over the past week or so. Kasper, Greg and Jay did a pretty good job of keeping you guys in the loop, and to be honest, there weren't a ton of major headlines anyway. I was able to send out some of these via my Twitter account [1] while I was away, but from here on in I'll be back to my usual daily posting routine throughout the week.

Note: The next podcast will not be recorded until Monday night since Jay is still away at the Flyway Film Festival [2] in Wisconsin, where his short film Colore Non Vendenti [3] will be playing this afternoon at 5 pm.

In case you've been away for the past couple of weeks, here's a recap of some of the top stories from around the movie blogosphere, and a bunch that we just didn't have time to post about. A lot of people have been freaking out over a so-called scam that IMAX has been perpetuating lately, meanwhile a few big casting rumours have followed the announcement of Martin Scorsese's Sinatra biopic, and Hollywood has dreamed up some of their stupidest ideas yet including an American Gladiators movie. New trailers popped up for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes and the big screen adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, plus someone is making a sequel to Easy Rider, and Tarantino might be teaming up with Sharon Stone?

Big news for Twilight fans this week as 30 Days of Night director David Slade signed on to helm the third film Eclipse, while the first pictures from New Moon found their way online. Elsewhere, Fox dreamed up a last minute scheme to get people to see Wolverine in theatres, Arnold Schwarzenegger's digital cameo in Terminator Salvation was confirmed, and Warner Brothers decided to give customers a way to upgrade their HD-DVDs to Blu-ray (for a fee). Plus, a Hollywood actor's strike was quietly averted, and sadly, Bea Arthur has celebrated her final Life Day -- she passed away this weekend at the age of 86.

I didn't get around to posting a Weekend Wrap-Up last Sunday, so this installment will collect two weeks' worth of leftover news stories. Some of the biggest discussions over the past week focused on the Observe and Report controversy and Billy Bob Thornton's on-air hissyfit, but some intriguing new projects from Errol Morris and Sofia Coppola were also announced. Elsewhere, we heard some casting news for the remakes of Piranha and Clash of the Titans, plus yet another American Pie direct-to-DVD sequel. Hey, Eugene Levy's gotta get a paycheck from somewhere!

I didn&#039;t get around to posting a Weekend Wrap-Up last Sunday, so this installment will collect two weeks&#039; worth of leftover news stories. Some of the biggest discussions over the past week focused on the &lt;em&gt;Observe and Report&lt;/em&gt; controversy and Billy Bob Thornton&#039;s on-air hissyfit, but some intriguing new projects from Errol Morris and Sofia Coppola were also announced. Elsewhere, we heard some casting news for the remakes of &lt;em&gt;Piranha&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Clash of the Titans&lt;/em&gt;, plus yet another &lt;em&gt;American Pie&lt;/em&gt; direct-to-DVD sequel. Hey, Eugene Levy&#039;s gotta get a paycheck from somewhere!

As most bloggers know, the internet becomes a bit of a minefield on April Fool's Day (well, even more than usual), and it was tough to sort through the jokes and hoaxes to find any substantial news this week. Probably the biggest story of the week was the Wolverine leak, which lead to some heated debates over whether or not it is ethical to even report on such a thing. A few interesting announcements came from ShoWest in Las Vegas, and Universal unleashed the first trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno. Last but not least, Jackie Earle Haley was confirmed to be a lock for the new Freddy Krueger! It just goes to show, you never know which rumours might actually come true.

By and large, the past week in film was dominated by discussion over two major news stories: the casting of The Three Stooges feature film, and the release of the first trailer for Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are. While the first seemed to baffle a lot of people, the latter seemed to inspire nothing but positive endorsements across the board. We also got our first look at Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock this week, and Warner Brothers dropped a bombshell with the announcement that they would be opening up their vaults to the general public. Elsewhere, Stone Cold Steve Austin landed another acting gig, Fred Durst secured his next project as a director and Paramount locked down J.J. Abrams for another 4 years. Can you blame them?

Plenty of casting announcements and more sequels and remakes rained down from Hollywood this week, but thanks to the addition of Wintle I think we managed to cover the majority of the good stuff. Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson were finally confirmed for Iron Man 2, while Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables got a stunner of an addition to its cast, and Sam Raimi also unleashed the first trailer for Drag Me To Hell. But that's not all... just after the release of Watchmen, Warner Brothers got slapped with a brand new lawsuit, Dakota Fanning officially joined the next Twilight movie, and Virginia state troopers had a fatal real-life run-in with The Joker.

Well it was a pretty huge week for new trailers, which seems to be fairly common whenever a major new release like &lt;em&gt;Watchmen&lt;/em&gt; hits theatres. Movie fans got their first look at Michael Mann&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Public Enemies&lt;/em&gt; and the summer comedy &lt;em&gt;The Hangover&lt;/em&gt;, plus new trailers for &lt;em&gt;Terminator Salvation&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Star Trek&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;X-Men Origins: Wolverine&lt;/em&gt;. Also this week, a potentially great announcement for Kevin Smith, a surprising announcement about Mad Max 4, and plenty of Danny Boyle rumours in the wake of his much-deserved Oscar win.

It was just your average remake and sequel-filled week in Hollywood, but the biggest news in my opinion was the hiring of Michel Gondry to direct The Green Hornet. Fanboys were excited to have Samuel L. Jackson finally sign on as Nick Fury; on the other hand, they didn't have many kind things to say about the new poster for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Michael Cera may have actually agreed to do the long-rumoured Arrested Development feature film, and believe it or not, Drew Barrymore is attempting to make the move from actress to director. But here's the best news of all: Oscar ratings were up this year (barely)!

Despite predictions of a ratings disaster, it certainly seems like a lot of people were watching the Academy Awards last night, although the final numbers still have yet to be released. The day before that, the Independent Spirit Award winners were also announced and provided a nice counterpoint. Other than that, it was a long week of Watchmen hype for the most part, with some noteworthy trailers released for Judd Apatow's Funny People and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Also, the new Devastator from Transformers 2 was revealed courtesy of the Hasbro toy, Jackie Chan's latest film will be banned in much of mainland China, and Scarlett Johannson is rumoured to be taking over for Emily Blunt in Iron Man 2. Check out these stories and more below.
