See Mickey Rourke And Sam Rockwell Gearing Up To Face Tony Stark In Iron Man 2

Today's spoilers include our first peeks at Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke preparing to film Iron Man 2. Lost's Young Ben speaks! Plus Star Trek, Monsters Vs. Aliens, Terminator: SCC, Eureka, Supernatural and True Blood.


Star Trek:

Even though the new Trek movie includes time travel, creating a new timeline, large amounts of the stuff in the movie is "true" for either timeline, argue writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. And yet, the new timeline is different enough to account for any inconsistencies, like the Enterprise being built in Iowa. [Sci Fi Wire]

Iron Man 2:

Director Jon Favreau Twittered a picture of Sam Rockwell during rehearsals for the new movie with Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey, Jr. And meanwhile, Mickey Rourke was photographed in New York — is this his new hairstyle for the movie? [IESB and TMZ]

Monsters Versus Aliens:

By the end of the movie, Reese Witherspoon says her character is calling herself "Ginormica" instead of Susan, and speaking in an action-hero voice. [Fresno Bee]

Lost:

Yes, Ben got shot... but Young Ben actor Sterling Beaumon says he's in two more episodes of the show. But there will definitely be repercussions from the shooting. It gets talked about quite a bit. And this isn't the incident that turns sweet, loveable Ben into older, evil Ben - that doesn't happen quite yet. And "that big older mean Ben that we know may not even exist," says Beaumon. Also, we may never learn what happened to Olivia, Horace Goodspeed's earlier significant other. And Elizabeth Mitchell says "there's a good reason" why Daniel Faraday is missing in 1977, which "flows really nicely for the character." [TV Guide]

In related news, someone found this picture of Young Ben from Lost Untangled. [SpoilersLost]

An inside source claims, based on recent filming, that the finale will include an attack on the Dharma Initiative that focuses on the latest Dharma station that's under construction. Rose, Bernard and Vincent will all appear in the finale. And Jack has some "explosive plans" which may lead to "the Incident" of the episode's title. [SpoilersLost]

In a podcast, the show's producers say next week's episode will include some Kate flashbacks. We'll see enough of the four-toed statue to determine exactly what it is. And by the end of this season, Ben will explain why he killed Locke. And Miles will reveal why he specifically wanted $3.2 million. [Doc Arzt]

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:

Here's what happens in the season finale, "Born To Run":

The Connors come face-to-face with Weaver in a confrontation that shakes John to the core and changes his reality forever. Nothing will be the same.

And here are some pics, including an intense John-Cameron conversation, and the Connors going with James Ellison into Zeira Corp.

Eureka:

Sci Fi Wire interviewed all of the show's cast about what's coming next for their characters. [Sci Fi Wire]

Supernatural:

In case you missed it, here's the pretty hilarious promo for "The Monster At The End Of This Book". [TV Guide]

Reaper:

Here's a new clip from next Tuesday's episode. (Thanks Oliver!)

True Blood:

We'll be seeing more supernatuaral stuff in the show's second season, says actor Carrie Preston. And as you've probably already heard, the second season will depart from the books to a greater extent. We're going to follow Jason, who's going to veer off the path a bit, while Tara has gotten herself involved with some questionable characters. As for Arlene, she's not the sort of person to stay single very long. [Sci Fi Wire]
