Top Story: Fox’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the opening film of the summer movie season, is now available for download. Illegally. And its just a rough cut. The film leaked online this week. If the rough cut is good, I’ll blame this one on Fox. Way to market the picture to geekdom.  If it’s bad, you can blame someone still sore about the whole Watchmen debacle. I’m sure we’ll hear more about the version on the Net because there is still a month before it hits theaters. (Variety)

In Other News: Sex and the City 2 has a release date.  The ladies will hit the silver screen once again on May 28, 2010. (erc BoxOffice)

In WTF News, Hannah Montana director Peter Chelsom called Miley Cyrus the next Judy Garland. Ugh. (PopEater)

Juno, the Scarecrow, and Edith Piaf are in talks for Christopher Nolan’s Inception.  Leo DiCaprio was already announced as the lead with Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, and Marion Cotillard possibly rounding out the all-star cast. (Variety)

Fox, director Francis Lawrence, and writer Mark Protosevic are turning the nonfiction, environmentally themed tome The World Without Us into a feature film. (THR)

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds will play in competition at Cannes. (Variety)

And in TV that would stop me from watching a movie news, Project Runway fans can rejoice.  The lawsuit is settled and the show will be back on the air this summer, only this time on the Lifetime Network. (Variety)
