· Cable networks continue to snap up movies that haven't even had a theatrical release yet: After USA paid $40 million for broadcast right to Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Turner Broadcasting paid an undisclosed (read: your mind cannot conceive of this number) sum for a slew of Warner Bros. blockbusters, including The Dark Knight, Get Smart, and 10,000 B.C.. Said a Turner rep, "We here at TBS and TNT are committed to bringing our watchers the highest caliber of entertainment we have yet to lay our eyes on." [Variety]
· Disney casualty Nina Jacobsen will usher hit internet comic/bestseller Diary of a Wimpy Kid to the screen for Fox 2000. A search for the perfect wimpy kid to take the lead will bring out thousands of America's back-braced, violin-playing hopefuls. [Variety]
· CBS, which recently declared pilots dead, has snapped up two pilots. (Les Moonves never said he couldn't borrow ideas from already proven, international series!) Ny-Lon, based on a British import from 2004, will star Rashida Jones and Stephen Moyer as "a female New York record store clerk and a male London stock broker who embark on a cross-continental romance." Also, Mythological X, based on an Israeli series about a woman who revisits all her exes after a psychic tells her she was supposed to marry one of them. [THR]
· A Heroes soundtrack will release next month, including songs from Panic! at the Disco, Imogen Heap, and David Bowie's own "Heroes (Indestructable Cheerleader Mix)." [THR]
