When it rains, it pours. Or at least such is the case with "Star Trek 2" rumors.

After months of silence on the upcoming sequel, a whole slew of production details -- including a shooting start date -- hit the web earlier this week. Now comes a juicy new plot rumor from Think McFly Think that the Klingons will play a prominent role in the sequel as a nomadic set of warriors causing trouble for the Federation while fighting off Tribbles. (Yes, Tribbles!) Also, they say there won't be any Khan in this flick. Of course, none of this has been confirmed by J.J. Abrams' camp, so you can either take it or leave it.

Disney's dance with "The Lone Ranger" just keeps getting trickier.

Deadline reports that Disney must accept the $215 million-ish budget that director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are presenting, or move forward without Verbinski... and, by extension, without Johnny Depp, who reportedly won't shoot the film without Verbinski behind the camera. Disney originally pulled the plug on "The Lone Ranger" because the budget got a bit too out of control, though last we heard they were negotiating. We'll keep you posted with further updates as soon as we have them.

Oh my "Hunger Games," it's time for the world to meet your Peeta and Gale.

Hollywood Crush has all the latest on the Entertainment Weekly "Hunger Games"-themed cover. With their newly dyed hair and an intimidating gleam in their eyes, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson certainly look their respective parts. "On first glance [Hemsworth's] such a hunk that it’s easy to just sort of ascribe a hunk-like simplicity to him," director Gary Ross said. "But this is a phenomenally subtle actor."

The first trailer for "The Muppets" has finally arrived, and... well, it isn't exactly what we were expecting, but in a fascinating way.

Disney has clearly taken a different approach than usual to marketing "The Muppets." The just released trailer actually spends most of its time setting up the movie within "The Muppets," called "Green With Envy." But don't worry, Kermit and the gang aren't far behind!

Wanted: An actress willing to rock out with Tom Cruise and an actor hoping to have a fairy tale experience with Kristen Stewart.

Hollywood could have very well posted a sign for that today, as two huge roles opened up yet again. After rumors that Hugh Jackman would be stepping in to play the Huntsman in "Snow White and the Huntsman" after Viggo Mortensen dropped out, The Wrap put the kibosh on that reporting that the star won't take the part. Kristen Stewart is still in negotiations to play Snow White in the film.

Meanwhile, "Rock of Ages" may have picked up Russell Brand, they lost Amy Adams, according to Deadline. The actress, who already has a bevy of projects lined up, including the "Superman" and "Muppets" reboots, would have played Cruise's love interest in the 80's music Broadway extravaganza.

Check out the rest of Thursday's (April 14) biggest casting news, including Ellen Page signing on for Woody Allen's latest.

If you're traveling through or near the Bronx Zoo in New York today, keep an eye out for the poisonous Egyptian cobra that has gone missing. News of such a reptilian menace on the loose would send most even-tempered individuals into a frenzy, but not Steve Martin — no, the "Father of the Bride" funny man is ready to make his move if necessary.

"An Egyptian cobra has escaped and is hiding in the Bronx zoo," Martin wrote today on Twitter. "I’m sitting in my King Tut hat by the phone awaiting their call for help."

Martin's willingness to combat poisonous snakes isn't the only interesting thing going on in the Twitter-verse today. After the jump, find out who didn't audition for Lois Lane in "Superman," which movie stars are celebrating birthdays and much more!

"Sucker Punch" wasn't the critical or commercial hit that Zack Snyder was likely hoping for, but he'll have another shot at success in just over a year when "Superman: Man of Steel" arrives in December 2012.

The shape of that long-awaited superhero movie is finally coming into focus, too, as Snyder announced over the weekend that Amy Adams is playing Lois Lane. The three-time Oscar nominee joins a growing cast that includes Henry Cavill as Superman with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as his parents.

Adams is a strong choice to take on the role of Metropolis' most tenacious reporter, but we still have a ways to go before seeing her take on one of the comic book medium's most beloved supporting characters. After the jump, get the lowdown on the movies we'll see her in before "Superman" takes flight.
