DESCFresh off her turn in Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones," actress Rachel Weisz is sticking close to a murder plot in "Dream House."

According to Variety, Weisz has signed on to star in "Dream House," a new thriller directed by "Brothers" filmmaker Jim Sheridan. Weisz will star alongside the previously cast Daniel Craig and Naomi Watts. The Morgan Creek production comes from a script by David Loucka and will be distributed by Universal Pictures.

All week long, we’ve been giving you an exclusive look at the new “A-Team,” featuring peeks at B.A. Baracus, “Howlin’ Mad” Murdock, the villainous Lynch, Face-Man and Hannibal. Now, we bid adieu to the crack commando unit with the main new character of the bunch: Sexy Jessica Biel as Lieutenant Sosa.

“Jessie, she's a captain with DCIS, which is the Defense Criminal Investigative Service,” director Joe Carnahan explained of the new character, who shares an uncomfortable dating history with Bradley Cooper’s Face. “They’re basically the department of the defense, and she supersedes [military officials] - if she goes on a base, it doesn't matter if you’re a general, she can supplant you.” Read more...

We hope you guys have been enjoying our “A-Team Week” festivities, as we’ve teamed with director Joe Carnahan to unveil exclusive details about B.A. Baracus, “Howlin’ Mad” Murdock, the villainous Lynch and the Face Man.

Now, it’s time to take a closer look at the leader of the gang, both literally and fictionally: Oscar-nominee Liam Neeson as the cigar-chomping commando who loves it when a plan comes together.

“The important parts of Hannibal were obviously the cigar, and I wanted that same kind of [authority] for Liam,” explained “Smokin’ Aces” director Carnahan, comparing Neeson’s performance to the Col. John “Hannibal” smith role originated on '80s TV by George Peppard. “And beyond that, I think Liam was insistent that 'I'm not going to do a George Peppard imitation.' This is Liam Neeson, you know?” Read more...

DESCEpisode Title: "The Bishop Revival"

Synopsis: A happy wedding ends disastrously when a large portion of the gathered civilians wind up dead. As the Fringe team investigates the mass murder, it becomes clear to Walter Bishop (John Noble) that the attack was merely a testing ground for a lethal experiment — an experiment that leads back to Walter's own father, a Nazi scientist that secretly worked for the allied forces, resulting in the Bishop patriarch's own resolve in preventing further catastrophe.

The Final Solution Once again, another episode that is heavily set in the mystery-of-the-week formula as opposed to the alternate reality story, but there is clearly a story significance here. First and foremost, however, the risks involved in this episode — a weaponized airborne disease that targets specific sets of DNA — is terrifying, especially when coming from an eerie Nazi sympathizer. "Fringe" fans that dig standalone episodes must have enjoyed this latest outing. Read more...

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Earlier today we told you about Samuel L. Jackson's new comic book series, "Cold Space," but now we get back to the projects that are foremost on comics fans' minds: the Marvel movies in which he plays S.H.I.E.L.D. head honcho Nick Fury.

Since he's listed as part of the official cast of "Thor," Kenneth Branagh's upcoming take on Marvel's god of thunder, we had to ask how his character will fit into the film. Will Fury drop by to recruit Thor for the Avengers like he did in "Iron Man"?

We'd love to tell you Jackson gave us the full scoop, but apparently he didn't know he was even in the film until he read the news. However, he did have some opinions to offer on Fury's relationship to Thor and how much of the character we'll see in Marvel's future movies.

FROM SPLASH PAGE: In April of last year, it was announced that actress Kate Mara was joining the cast of "Iron Man 2," but details beyond that initial revelation were entirely up in the air. Speculation ran rampant that she'd play an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. alongside Samuel L. Jackson's role of Nick Fury or perhaps even Bethany Cabe, a girlfriend and ally of Tony Stark's in the comic books.

With the cat still in the bag regarding Mara's role, MTV News couldn't help but ask the actress about her specific involvement in the "Iron Man" sequel during an interview at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend. According to the actress, rumors that she'll play Bethany Cabe are entirely untrue.

The weekend is over and the MTV Movies team is looking at possibly its most hectic day yet of Sundancing. Lined up in the coming hours are chats with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams ("Blue Valentine"), Jonah Hill ("Cyrus"), Katie Holmes ("The Extra Man"), Naomi Watts and Samuel L. Jackson ("Mother and Child"), Orlando Bloom and Mark Ruffalo ("Sympathy for Delicious"), America Ferrera and Wilmer Valderrama ("The Dry Land"), and Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Bartha ("Holy Rollers"), plus a ton others.

While the celeb interviews come nearly non-stop, we'll also be eeking out time to see cool festival films like Ashley Greene's "Skateland," Holmes' "Extra Man," and Gosling's "Valentine."

As the day progresses, we'll be posting content like crazy across all corners of the MTV News site. Look out for more video, more photos, more reviews... more of everything from Sundance 2010!

DESC1. "Avatar" ($36 million)
2. "Legion" ($18.2 million)
3. "The Book of Eli" ($17 million)
4. "Tooth Fairy" ($14.5 million)
5. "The Lovely Bones" ($8.8 million)

James Cameron's "Avatar" easily won its sixth straight weekend at the box office, but the film's victory over its current theatrical competitors is hardly the greatest cause for celebration — that distinction belongs to the Na'vi people's victory over Gotham City's personal superhero, as "Avatar" has officially surpassed Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" as the second highest grossing film of all time at the domestic box office.

There is something to be said for Hollywood's practice of naming movies after popular songs, because I'm psyched about a new project titled "Sympathy for the Devil," solely on the basis of the fact that I'm a Rolling Stones fan. Never mind that it has nothing to do with the band, nor is it a first-person tale of Satan's influence on history, but I'm still at least partly sold on the name alone. And also partly because it involves Samuel L. Jackson dealing with motherf---ing demons in his motherf---ing city.

Latino Review received exclusive details about "Sympathy" directly from film company IM Global Octane ("Paranormal Activity"). Currently in pre-production, the movie will star Jackson and Josh Duhamel ("Transformers") as New Orleans lawyers caught in a battle between Heaven and Hell -- specifically warrior angels and demons. The full synopsis claims that the film, which mixes "'Angel Heart,' 'Pulp Fiction' and 'The Omen,'" is "sure to be controversial." Read more...

Doctor Walter Bishop (John Noble) has Agent Broyles (Lance Reddick) quarantine the building while Olivia and Peter struggle to maintain control from within, but when Peter is infected, the situation escalates in ways that the Fringe team couldn't have possibly predicted.
