Weekend Recap: Polanski, MGM's Money Woes, 'Iron Man 2' Video

The weekend's biggest story had to be the arrest of director Roman Polanski, stemming from his unlawful sex charge over 30 years ago. His lawyers say Polanski hasn't decided whether or not to fight the extradition order. If he's compelled to accept it, he should be in California in a matter of days. If he fights it, it could be a months-long process...and then he could just be extradited, anyway. In completely unrelated news, the Charles Darwin bio-pic finally got a US distributor, Scream 4 finally got a Neve Campbell, and MGM has finally gone bankrupt. Polanski arrested Diablo Cody to write Playboy movie?
