Also, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" heads to the small screen (again), and we've got another trailer for "Spider-Man 3" and "Transformers" (anyone sensing a pattern here?). Read on.
This Week's Most Popular News:
"Indiana Jones" Returns...Again!
Action-adventure fans rejoice! Producer George Lucas has announced that "Indiana Jones 4" (sequel #3, if you're counting) will begin filming in 2007!
"National Treasure" Sequel Gets a Title and Release Date
We know most of the crew is returning for a sequel to "National Treasure," but what's the movie going to be called?
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith" Make the Leap to the Small Screen
Director Doug Liman and screenwriter Simon Kinberg are about to bring their "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" to network television -- only I wouldn't expect Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie to reprise their roles. (Funny but true: There was a "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" series a few years ago; it starred Scott Bakula and Maria Bello, and it went nowhere fast.)
First Official TV Spot for "Spider-Man 3"
We've all watched the "Spider-Man 3" trailer about 19 times by now, so here's something new: The very first TV spot! Hey, we'll take what we can get...
Spielberg and Bay Say Konnichi-wa, Japan with New "Transformers" Trailer!
In addition to a couple of character shots not included in the US trailer, watch the Japan-only "Transformers" teaser to see Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay hurdle over the language barrier and address their Japanese audience...in Japanese!

What are the odds of getting another "Transformers" teaser next week?
