Movie Director Comments on Rumored Death and the City

Rumors floating around the release of the Sex and the City movie - sparked by comments Cynthia Nixon made - state that a major character will die in the anticipated summer release.

Specifically, talk has turned to the possible death of Mr. Big (Chris Noth) because, come on, none of the fab four will be perishing. That would truly be insane.

But director Michael Patrick King says the idea of killing off Big would be equally idiotic for the franchise.

"Kill Mr. Big? I would have been chased around the planet by women with torches," he joked to the Associated Press.

However, King did confide that he was looking to infuse some layers of melodrama into this film adaptation of the show; perhaps not as much as a darker drama would call for, though.

"My ultimate target," King said, "was to make our 'girlfriends' â€" in other words, our audience â€" happy. And I don't think Mr. Big dying would make them happy."

When pressed on the possibility of potential other deaths, the director seemed to hint at something: "It's a summer movie," he said. "Why would I want to kill anyone?"

Considering summer is the season for action-packed thrilled that involve many heart beats coming to an end, sounds like sarcasm to us - and another reason to go see Sex and the City: The Movie!

Box Office Report: Iron Man Fights Off All Competition with Ease

Iron Man can do more than just fly through the air. He can soar above almost all movies in history at the box office.

The super hero flick topped the box office with a $100.7 million weekend haul,; it has taken in $104.2 mil since its Thursday premiere, the second-best opening ever for a nonsequel (trailing only the original Spider-Man). It's the 10th biggest opening. Ever.

Rhodes and Stark

Patrick Dempsey's cliche-ridden romantic comedy, Made of Honor, came in second with $15.5 mil in its first weekend.

Rounding out the top five were Baby Mama ($10.3 million), Forgetting Sarah Marshall ($6.1 mil,) and Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay ($6 mil).

Aaron Eckhart Drops Details on Two-Face

In a new interview with The Los Angeles Times, Aaron Eckhart dropped some significant details about Two-Face in The Dark Knight. Here's an excerpt:

"I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It's like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can't talk about it beyond that because I don't want to give away too much of the plans by [director Chris Nolan]."

More Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Spoilers, Plot Details

While details of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull have remained mostly secret, the studio just sent over a new and revised synopsis for the upcoming adventure (check it out below, along with a series of photos from the film).

It begins in desert Southwest in 1957 â€" at the height of the Cold War.  Indiana and his sidekick Mac (Ray Winstone) have barely escaped a close scrape with nefarious Soviet agents on a remote airfield.

Now,  Jones has returned home to Marshall College, only to find that things have gone from bad to worse.  His close friend and dean of the college (Jim Broadbent) explains that Indy's recent activities have made him the object of suspicion; the government has put pressure on the university to fire him.

On his way out of town, Indiana meets rebellious young Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), who carries both a grudge and a proposition for the adventurous archaeologist:  If he'll help Mutt on a mission with deeply personal stakes, Indy could very well make one of the most spectacular archaeological finds in history:

The Crystal Skull of Akator, a legendary object of fascination, superstition and fear.

Iron Man 2: Date Pretty Much Set

We're written a lot about the rumors of an Iron Man sequel.

Now, though, Viacom/CBS Executive Chairman Sumner Redstone and Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey told Entertainment Tonight that if the movie does as well as expected, the company will greenlight a sequel for the same week in 2010.

We'll let you know as more information comes in about Iron Man 2. But it's rather safe to assume the film will perform well enough this weekend to warrant a couple more in the franchise.

Teresa Palmer Possibly Cast in Transformers 2

Teresa Palmer, who has been rumored have landed the villainess role of Talia al Ghul in the Justice League of America movie, may also have been cast in the Transformers sequel.

Palmer, who most recently joined Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe in December Boys, has landed an unspecified role in the highly-anticipated Transformers 2. Might this mean that Megan Fox might not return as Shia's love interest in the movie?

That would suck, but it's hard to complain if Palmer is her replacement. Take a look and see why:
