STO EUROPE

More set photos from Captain America: The First Avenger just turned up, and these give us our first look at Cap's costume. We found them over on The Daily Mail, which tells us that this is a stunt double riding an Indian motorcycle.

Here's a quick 101 on the recent Hobbit rumors. Martin Freeman, who plays Dr. Watson in the BBC's Sherlock series, was allegedly offered the role of Bilbo Baggins but turned it down, although no one was sure if any of that really happened. Today, it not only looks like it happened, but there's suddenly a very good chance he'll end up playing Bilbo after all.

INF Daily has published the first photos taken of Mad Men star January Jones as Emma Frost on the set of the movie X-Men: First Class, the reboot/prequel of the Marvel mutant series that began filming last week in England.

With today's announcement that Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund will make a guest appearance in the upcoming Halloween episode of Chuck, we felt it was time to make a list of all the big-name and special guest stars who will be appearing in the new season and that you definitely don't want to miss.

This is one of those ideas that's either going to be crazy successful or an epic failure. NBC Universal just made a deal to turn Stephen King's The Dark Tower saga into three films and a TV series, a lot of which will be written by Akiva Goldsman and directed by Ron Howard.

Smallville's 10th and final season will include a number of familiar faces, from Supergirl to Lionel Luthor to Jonathan Kent, guaranteeing that the show will be going out with a bang. But now it seems that Smallville will be going out with a splash: One more character in that guest-star roster now includes Aquaman.

Natalie Portman is really, really close to landing the lead role in Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity -- beating out almost every other actress in the business. So what makes this role so friggin' special?

Leia Organa, who graced the Star Wars universe with a no-nonsense attitude and a killer set of hair buns, is the most famous sci-fi princess in history. While Luke was shooting womp rats, Leia was busy learning to braid hair ... and to plot a rebellion. All in the life of a princess, right?

A script review of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance has been uncovered by Comicus, and the alleged reviewer has some details to share about what's to come in this sequel (be aware of potential SPOILERS).

Everyone's favorite legendary cult movie star, Bruce Campbell, revealed his plans to make an epic horror-comedy sequel to My Name Is Bruce, a film that would be unlike anything anyone's ever seen before (except kind of like The Expendables and 300 combined). The biggest thing holding back the project so far is that they seem to be having some, er, script problems, as you can see from his recent Los Angeles Times interview.

Wil Wheaton posted an amusing note and picture to his 15-year-old self about what it's like to sign the the flesh of his (apparently many) female fans. If time travel is ever developed, we think sending this note back to the boy-who-would-be-Wesley should be a priority.

This strikes us as an odd casting choice, but Clint Eastwood just revealed that he was offered the role of Superman earlier in his career, when he was a wee lad of just 48. Eastwood passed on the role, of course, and it went to Christopher Reeve.

There's a new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi film Monsters, and we finally get a glimpse of the actual monsters from the flick. You can briefly see them in the trailer below, and we took some screen grabs for you so you can get a slightly better look.

Hilary Duff is allegedly in the running to play Gwen Stacy in Sony's as-yet-untitled Spider-Man reboot. MovieWeb reports that during an interview with Duff's husband, NHL hockey player Mike Comrie, a reporter from the Globe and Mail saw a script marked Spider-Man lying on a coffee table in their home.

The team at the Priority One Podcast interviewed Shaun "Stormshade" Brodie in their kickoff episode. Give it a listen here.

Fred Fox Jr. inadvertently helped create one of the most infamous TV phrases of all time when he wrote the Happy Days episode "Hollywood 3." That phrase, since used thousands of times to describe dozens of TV shows that went from good to bad, is "jump the shark."

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a -- what the heck is that? Oh. Ohhhhh.

When a never-before-seen interview with Rod Serling was unearthed last month, among the things the Twilight Zone creator discussed were his two favorite episodes of the landmark show. Not surprisingly, one was an episode that makes everyone's list, and one is a slightly more offbeat choice:

Last week it looked like Angelina Jolie may have killed Gravity, the new 3-D sci-fi film from Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron. This week the rumor is that the movie -- which is supposedly like Cast Away but set in space -- might be back in business with Natalie Portman taking over the role intended for Jolie.
