It can't be "The Dark Knight," "Iron Man" or "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull." And nope, it's not a "Harry Potter" title or a Pixar special.

The final reel Talk about clash of the titans: Liam Neeson will be Zeus and Ralph Fiennes Hades in a remake of, yes, "Clash of the Titans." ...

Mark Wahlberg is a security expert, James Franco is a "dim con man," Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson is a cop and Kristen Wiig is Fey's best friend. We don't care if the script is a dumbed-down version of the phone book, we're there. ... Richard Jenkins ("The Visitor") joins "Eat, Pray, Love" as a crusty Texan whom Julia Roberts befriends at an Indian ashram. ... After being delayed seven months, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has been moved up -- two days, to July 15.
