Tonight's movie roundup is about as mixed-bag as we could get.  In a followup to an earlier rumor, IGN reports that David Koepp, who penned the first "Spider-Man" film and the "Indiana Jones" flick now in production, is definitely out of the spider-race for now.  He's too busy with other projects and will not be back for "Spidey 4".  Director Sam Raimi said recently that, personally, he's still open to working on the franchise, though probably as a producer rather than a director.

Over at Aint It Cool News, an anonymous tipster says Frank Darabont is getting his casting together for "Fahrenheit 451," an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's novel.  The key role is Guy Montag, the Fireman, who begins the story as someone who burns books and then becomes a fugitive trying to preserve them.  Darabont's eye is on Tom Hanks, Hollywood's favorite good guy.

Another casting scoop at AICN is for the "Get Smart" big-screener, whose trailers have been out for the past month or so.  Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson are already starring, but now we've got reports that infamous Agent 13, whose assignments never do go well, will be played by none other than Bill Murray.

Finally, in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, director Ridley Scott comfirmed that he is making a movie based off a certain game.   Scott said, "Monopoly is still the most popular board game -- I might be misquoting! -- in the world. So it's really finding the universe for that game. Because clearly it ought to be humorous and for the family -- the funny way it brings out, particularly when your uncle suddenly gets Park Lane and -- in England, we have Park Lane, Mayfair and Barclay Square, what's it in America? Park and Madison? So you watch people change. You're witness to Jekyll and Hyde. Somewhere in that is a hysterically amusing and I think rather exciting film."
