If anyone out there has been complaining about "Saturday Night Live" not living up to the quality of the "good ole days," then this past weekend should've been a treat. Former cast member Dana Carvey returned to host the late night sketch series last weekend, and he brought a few special guests with him. Right from the cold open, the episode felt like it was being broadcast from the early 90's as Wayne's World kicked off the show with Wayne Campbell (special guest star and former cast member Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Carvey) scrutinizing the 2011 Best Picture nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards.

Lasse Hallström Next Adapting Swedish Crime Novel 'The Hypnotist'

By Ethan Anderton

Though he hails from Sweden, director Lasse Hallström hasn't directed a film in his native tongue in 24 years. His dedication to filmmaking in the United States has resulted in such fine cinema as Chocolat, The Cider House Rules, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and more. Now THR reports the filmmaker is returning to his roots to adapt Lars Kepler's crime novel The Hypnotist. Following Detective Joona Linna, it's just one story in a series of novels that stand directly behind Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy (which is currently getting an American adaptation via Rooney Mara & Fincher) as the most successful crime novels in Sweden.

Discuss: Did That First Look at 'Red Skull' Live Up To Expectations?

By Alex Billington

Meet Johann Schmidt. You may know him better as Red Skull. He has been unmasked! In Marvel's debut of footage in the form of a 30-second Super Bowl TV spot for Captain America: The First Avenger, a quick flash in the trailer revealed our first look at actor Hugo Weaving as the Third Reich's Red Skull. As this is a big reveal (in addition to seeing Chris Evans kickin' ass as Cap) I thought I'd snap a shot and open up the floor to discussion on his look. Red Skull first appeared in Captain America Comics #7 1941, created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Does he look as good as you expected? Warning: spoilers may follow!

Concept Art for Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah's Ark' Epic Discovered?

By Alex Billington

Darren Aronofsky's Noah Epic Concept Art

It's bit hard to think past Darren Aronofsky's The Wolverine, which starts shooting in a few months, but if you can, there is a project the Oscar nominated director has been talking about for a while that's a "graphic novel adaptation." Last month, a few sites posted about how he's "doing a comic book of a script that's really hard to make and we're going to do a comic version first," which it turns out Bleeding Cool (via The Playlist) says is actually based on the graphic novel Noah, drawn by Nico Henrichon, and they have art. Back in '07, we posted quotes from Darren about a Noah's Ark project described as an unconventional "biblical epic."

Composer Alan Menken Making Original Music for 'Captain America'

By Ethan Anderton

We're still not sure who is composing the score for Joe Johnston's take on Marvel's comic book adaptation Captain America: The First Avenger, though it's rumored that Star Trek composer Michael Giacchino may be taking the job. However, apparently a certain musical master will be lending his talents to the movie in the form of some original songs outside of the realm of a motion picture score. Badass Digest has learned from an inside source at Marvel that Disney composer Alan Menken (the man behind the music for Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Newsies and more) is working on some sort of new music for the summer blockbuster.
