Two weeks ago, "Bourne Legacy" star Jeremy Renner revealed a bit too much when he opened up to Empire about his upcoming role in the action reboot. He told the British movie magazine that his character's name is Aaron Cross and said "It's that same deal, it's just a new set of agents with a different leash."

We spoke with Frank Marshall, one of the producers for the next 'Bourne' movie, at the New York premiere of "War Horse." The producer spoke briefly about what's different this time around and how Renner may have already given too much away.

Super 8Although "Super 8" hits theaters nationwide tomorrow (or, really, today), several lucky people in Hollywood have already seen director J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg's long-awaited collaboration.

The movie had its grand premiere in Los Angeles last evening, drawing the likes of "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof, "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau and more — and based on their responses on Twitter, the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.

I'm @roundhoward and this is a special "Super 8" edition of Twitter-Wood for June 9, 2011.

After announcing that he would end his talk show's run on CNN, Larry King got some advice from a talk show host who knows a thing about leaving programs behind. I don't know if Conan O'Brien's circumstances are comparable to King's, but his insight was good for a laugh.

In other tweets, "Eclipse" cast members are still pumped for their film's release week, and that's more than evident on Twitter. Check out one shout-out for today along with a Fourth of July contemplation from Michael Ian Black, an actor's thoughts on auditioning for "Weeds" and Neil Gaiman's thoughts on being a Russian spy.

Hollywood had the "Lost" finale on their minds last night, and Damon Lindelof and Dominic Monaghan were no exceptions. Even Sarah Silverman, who knows what it's like to see a series end, got a list misty-eyed, judging from her reaction to the episode.

Elsewhere, Stephen Fry found a Tardis, Jackie Chan got smiley with his "Karate Kid" co-star and a couple of tweeters revealed what's been going on behind the scenes at "The Last Airbender." If you want to see some pictures and find out if you agree with Neil Patrick Harris about "Lost," you should probably click on past the jump and check out Twitter-Wood for May 24, 2010. Read More...

Twitter erupted over the weekend news that Gang Starr MC Guru suffered a heart attack that put him in a coma. Ice-T shouted out some support and shock about the incident, but the rapper's condition doesn't sound promising.

Meanwhile, reactions were all over the place during the closing ceremonies for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver last night. Jon Favreau wants to have a beer with Canada now that they're all over. Wil Wheaton was aggravated by NBC's cut to Jerry Seinfeld's "The Marriage Ref," and "Alive" director Frank Marshall just seemed happy to be there. Check out his picture from the sidelines after the jump, where you can also find out how a "New Moon" actor is doing with his diet and what Amanda Bynes will do if you start hating at her on Twitter. It's all in Twitter-Wood for March 1st, 2010. Read More...

You'd think that "The Informant!" star Matt Damon and filmmaker Clint Eastwood would right now be preparing to promote their first collaboration, Oscar-bait "Invictus," which is due for a mid-December release. And they probably are, but that doesn't mean other business is being ignored. As Variety reports today, the director and star are all set to get the band back together for another project, titled "Hereafter."

There's not much to go on in terms of plot points just yet. The article states that Warner Bros. isn't saying much, other than describing the project as a supernatural thriller in the vein of "The Sixth Sense." I wasn't a big fan of M. Night Shyamalan's breakout, but Eastwood is a more nuanced filmmaker; here's hoping he doesn't pin this new movie's success to a single, mind-bending twist. The script comes from "Frost/Nixon" writer Peter Morgan, who will also produce alongside Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Tim Moore. Read More...

One of the big releases this week, something I'm very much looking forward to seeing later today, is Steven Soderbergh's "The Informant!" Star Matt Damon was at the Toronto International Film Festival last week promoting the flick, and MTV's Josh Horowitz got a chance to sit down and talk to him. While the Soderbergh flick was obviously the topic of the day, Josh got to squeeze in a little bit about Damon's involvement in the next "Bourne" movie.

There are apparently no concrete plans in place just yet, but Damon did say that he'll be meeting with "Bourne Ultimatum" director Paul Greengrass and series producer Frank Marshall in New York City next month to talk about what's next for the super-spy. As Damon tells Josh in the video below, "we'd love to do it... but we've got to do it right."

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullEarlier this week, Shia LaBeouf revealed that "Indiana Jones" creator Steven Spielberg has "cracked the story" on the next "Indiana Jones" movie. That's hardly the confirmation that fans might be hoping for, but none of us have any reason to believe that the "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" star would lie.

Still, it's always good to hear from other folks surrounding a project during these early, pre-production stages. Or not I suppose, if you didn't care for "Crystal Skull." Regardless of how you feel, there's additional word on "Indy 5," this time from producer Frank Marshall. Read More...
