IESB.net and CHUD are running similar spoiler reports about Indiana Jones IV, claiming they have details on the role Cate Blanchett will be playing.
Apparently (spoiler alert!), the character played by the Oscar-winning actress will actually be the film’s baddie. Blanchett has apparently also been seen running around in a Soviet military uniform in some pre-production tests last week.
CHUD has also posted some new information meant to clear up what role aliens may or may not be playing in the film, amid rumours that Indy IV is partly set in Area 51.

Matt Damon told the press in Cannes that The Bourne Ultimatum will be his final outing as Jason Bourne.
‘The ‘Bourne’ thing I’m definitely done with,’ the actor said during a news conference with his Ocean’s Thirteen co-stars, according to The Daily Telegraph. But the Oscar-winner also added that the Bourne character may well live on to be played by another actor, much like the James Bond franchise.
The third Bourne film hits cinemas August 3.

Nicolas Cage will not play Al Capone in Brian De Palma’s The Untouchables: Capone Rising after all, reports Variety.
The actor had been in negotiations to star in the prequel to De Palma’s 1987 classic The Untouchables, in which Robert De Niro had played Capone. But his representatives divulged that talks have now ended because of scheduling issues.
This leaves Gerard Butler (300) - who’ll play a younger version of Sean Connery’s Jim Malone - as the only confirmed cast member so far.

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
