Morning Roundup – May 30th

  • MGMStudios.org has opened up a special blog to track the events of this year’s Star Wars Weekends at Disney-MGM Studios. SWW start on June 1st and run every weekend through June 24th.
  • In other Star Wars news, The Muppet Newsflash has the 411 on new Star Wars themed Muppet dolls that will be available exclusively at Disney theme parks.
  • The LA Times reports that a fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean is a very real possibility. So real in fact, that we reported that contracts have been signed for filming to begin as soon as August back in March.
  • ComingSoon.net visited ILM and spoke with John Knoll and Hal Hickel who worked on the visual effects for Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean series. 
  • Sony Studios practices fuzzy math in complaining Spidey 3 owns the 6 day world record for movie debuts.

For your viewing pleasure tonight check out ABC’s ‘The Next Best Thing’ at 8pm. It’s an American Idol style contest that is looking for America’s best celebrity impersonators. They held auditions in Orlando and the talent looked impressive. Check back in tonight and tell us what you thought of the show.
