In this week's Ketchup, we snuck a peek at the "Spider-Man 3" trailer, Keira Knightley may jump ship before the "Pirates" franchise walks the plank, and MGM seems to be putting all its eggs in a few baskets.

Also, "The Simpsons Movie" trailer made it's first official appearance, and at least two people want a "Daredevil" sequel. Read on.

This Week's Most Popular News:

Unfinished "Spider-Man 3" Trailer -- Now with Venom!

It might not survive on the internet for too long, so if you want to see what Venom is going to look like in "Spider-Man 3," and you don't mind suffering through some obviously incomplete special effects, then you better click the goods right now -- before they're gone!

Ms. Swann Leaving the "Pirates" Nest?

With "Pirates of the Carbbean: At Worlds End" being primed for its summertime release, the actors are now sharing their thoughts on the future of the series. And as far as Keira Knightley is concerned, she seems fine with moving on when the trilogy ends.

MGM Promises More Panther, Bond, Crown, Rocky & Hobbit

It looks like the cash-strapped MGM is about to seriously scale back on its productions, but they still have five strapping franchises on which they'll bet the ranch...

Trailer Bulletin: "The Simpsons Movie"

Just in case you missed it last night during (a rather amusing episode of) "The Simpsons," here's the brand-new trailer for "The Simpsons Movie" -- but don't go in expecting anything in the way of spoilers or plot breakdowns.

"Daredevil" Director (and Villain) Want to Do a Sequel

Director Mark Steven Johnson recently opined that, yeah, he'd like to do a "Daredevil" sequel, provided anyone at Sony actually wanted to. And then big ol' Michael Clarke Duncan spoke up and said "Me too! I'd do a sequel!"


Who wants some more of this?

I knew they were going to release Letters from Iwo Jima in limited theaters at the end of this year. But I do believe that most of you said I was wrong and that they wouldn't do that. Ha, victory is mine.
