"Clash of the Titans" director Louis Leterrier was an easy choice for this week's "10 in '10" interview series. "Clash" has all the makings of a blockbuster with enough drawing power to kick off the spring/summer season early when it hits theaters on March 26 of this year. As a special treat, and complement to our "10 in '10" interview with Leterrier, we've got a pair of exclusive behind the scenes photos from the set of "Clash."

Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) does not belong in this world — just ask his father, Walter Bishop (John Noble), the mad scientist that abducted Peter from an alternate dimension in order to replace the one that died in ours early in Peter's childhood. While the audience of "Fringe" is already aware of Walter's controversial decision, it's still a to amongst the show's characters... but not for much longer.
In an interview with TV Guide (via To All That's Weird), executive producer Jeff Pinkner revealed that the winter finale of "Fringe" — set to air on February 4, 2010 — apparently ends "with a huge cliff-hanger" that deals not only with Peter's true birthplace, but also with the awakening of Olivia Dunham's (Anna Torv) own powers.
Check out the full rundown after the jump, but beware of spoilers. Read More...
FROM MTV.COM: While the "Twilight Saga" may be giving us some of the biggest blockbusters of its time, most of the series' stars are indie actors at heart. It's no surprise, then, that this week's Sundance Film Festival will unveil three highly anticipated films for Twilighters: "The Runaways," "Welcome to the Rileys" and "Skateland."
In 2010, however, that's just the tip of the iceberg. From blockbusters to indies, quirky love stories to serious dramas, the "Twilight" gang is branching out. With that in mind, here are the top 10 "Twilight"-related movies of 2010 (release dates subject to change, of course). How many will you be lining up to see?

Our “10 in ‘10” series is continuing to roll out all week long, and one of our latest installments features “(500) Days of Summer” star Chloe Moretz – a 12-year-old girl with three films coming out this year, including the eagerly-anticipated remake of the vampire flick “Let the Right One In,” entitled “Let Me In.”
“It’s about a boy who lives in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Growing up, not many people like him, he’s not popular. He’s wimpy, kind of an outcast,” she said of the role played by Kodi Smit-McPhee (“The Road”) in the flick, which is due in theaters October 1st. “Then this girl moves in, she’s totally different… she’s a beast, [being a vampire] is a demon inside of her and she can’t stop it from coming out… when I turn into a vampire, it’s terrifying.” Read More...

FROM SPLASH PAGE: It's starting to look like we've been way ahead of the news when it came to both the "Spider-Man" director and source material for Sony's upcoming reboot of the blockbuster movie franchise.
Webb is indeed looking to Brian Bendis' and Mark Bagley's "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics as inspiration for the new film franchise, according to an anonymous "scoop" on The Hollywood Reporter — but if you've been reading Splash Page lately, you not only knew that already, you heard it from Webb himself two days ago!
On Sunday night (less than 48 hours before he was announced as the new "Spider-Man" director), Webb deftly evaded many of our questions regarding the "Spider-Man" franchise — but did name-drop the "Ultimate Spider-Man" series as the source of some of his favorite Spidey stories.

Sundance is about to get underway and MTV News is converging from all the corners of the globe. Well at least NYC and LA. Today is our travel day but there's also plenty of work to be done with the opening night film being unveiled at 6pm in Park City and setting up a home base at the Bing Bar on Main.
Later on, we'll be on the carpet talking to the stars of "Howl," namely James Franco, Jon Hamm, and Bob Balaban. All three are equal in my eyes. And hopefully we'll catch the film as well. We're cautiously optimistic given the cast and pedigree (it's about Allen Ginsberg), the caution coming from the checkered opening night track record of recent Sundances. You remember "Chicago 10" and "Mary & Max," right? Right?!? Read More...

January 15 was a landmark day for the Twitter-using community. Slapstick martial artist Jackie Chan joined in on the fun -- as @EyeOfJackieChan -- becoming one of the latest celebrities to make himself more accessible to an adoring public. The "Spy Next Door" star has been pretty active on his new feed over the past week, with 32 updates logged so far.
One of those is this morning's Daily TwitPic. Chan decided to show off the funky socks that he wears, "pressure point socks" as he calls them. They look pretty goofy to me, but I still prefer it to Danny DeVito's whole "troll foot" fascination. Read More...

UPDATED: Is A 'Clash Of The Titans' 3-D Conversion In The Works, Despite Louis Leterrier's Previous Denial?
Posted 1/21/10 12:00 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Commentary, News
Sam Worthington is already the leading man behind the most successful 3-D film of all time in "Avatar," which may well turn into the most successful movie of all time, period. Is he going to go for a repeat performance in the world of 3-D with "Clash of the Titans," the upcoming mythology epic? That depends upon who you believe.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is in the midst of deciding whether or not to release "Clash of the Titans" in 3-D. The studio has reportedly ordered a 3-D test of the film and will show off the converted scenes next week in an effort to determine whether or not "Clash" should see a 3-D release. The final decision is expected to come in the next 10 days, which is certainly down to the wire given the film's March 26, 2010 release date. Read More...
