It's already been reported, but now it's really confirmed: Megatron will return in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

The source of this information? Hugo Weaving. In a new interview, the actor that voices this character said the voiceover is complete for the upcoming sequel.

"I've already done it," Weaving said. "There you go, I've given you the secret scoop."

So, how is Megatron resurrected?

Weaving will only offer a slight hint.

"I think in the last one, doesn't Optimus Prime pick up a little bit of, a little shard of the cube, or the thing that's left, and he takes it with him? Maybe there's something there... but I don't know," he said.

Hugh Jackman, of course, is the star of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

But the actor spoke to USA Today this week and shed some light on two other key characters in the upcoming blockbuster, Sabretooth and Gambit, and their relationship with Wolverine.

On Sabretooth: "They were close in the beginning, but they begin to drift apart. He's like the brother who shows up every birthday to kick your butt, to remind you who is boss."

On Gambit: "He's such a great character, we've been trying to get him in X-Men since the second movie. He starts off as a pest, but their relationship is a little gray. He's not quite friend or foe."

It won't star Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze or be remotely related to the original... but a Point Break sequel is still in the works!

According to Moviehole, here's what fans can expect to see in the follow-up to the 1991 classic:

In the film, Dali and his team wear masks of "The Bush Administration" (George Bush, Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, etc.) as they strip boats for loot. Dali's sister, Teela, ends up falling in love with Billy Dalton, an undercover Fed working in Dali's gang, which complicates matters.

Point Break Indo will shoot in both Indonesia and Australia. No release date has been announced yet.

On July 1, movie goeres will be introduced to a few Public Enemies.

This Michael Mann-direced drama is headlined by Johnny Depp in the role of real-life gangster John Dillinger. Hot on his trail is FBI Agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale).

A script for Ghostbusters 3 is on the way.

"We have some great new writers working on a new script... Judging from the frenzy on the Internet, there still seems to be plenty of interest in the idea of doing another film, so we're certainly taking that as a good sign," said Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures.

Reportedly, the studio has tapped the Emmy-nominated writing team of Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (co-executive producers of The Office) to write the screenplay.

Original Ghostbusters Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson are willing to reprise their roles in the franchise the script appeals to them.
