FROM MTV.COM: The story of the two Coreys — Feldman and Haim, the latter of whom died at the age of 38 on Wednesday (March 10) — goes back a long way. Much farther than their canceled A&E reality series, "The Two Coreys," might have you believe.

The same-aged actors first met during their teen years when they were auditioning for what turned out to be notable early roles. Both read for "The Goonies" and "Lucas," with Feldman landing the former role and Haim the latter. But it wasn't until 1987 that the duo came together for Joel Schumacher's teen-vampire classic, "The Lost Boys."

Oh "Arrested Development." Why do you continue to taunt us with your refusal to exist?

The on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again, on-again, off-ag... you get the idea-- the highly anticipated big screen revival of Mitch Hurwitz's unjustly canceled Fox comedy series has been careening towards a theatrical feature for some time now. Fans refuse to give up the ghost and entertainment journalists -- many of whom are themselves fans -- won't stop asking for updates. Journalists like MTV's Josh Horowitz, who chatted with series star Jason Bateman briefly on the red carpet at Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony.

Bateman kept his response brief and to the point. "Nothing new. We're hoping for the end of the year," he said. Hoping? We heard in January that shooting would commence before the end of the year.

If there's a delay, you can blame "Arrested" star Will Arnett. He's busy working with Hurwitz on a new comedy series. So how will that impact the "Arrested" movie plans?

"His show with [Will] Arnett has pushed it another few months," Bateman said in reference to the new Hurwitz project. Bateman wants the faithful to hang onto their hopes though. "['Arrested' is] still coming," he promised.

Have you abandoned all hope of an "Arrested Development" movie? Are you starting to understand what an abused lover must feel like?

Episode Title: "Dr. Linus"

Written By: Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz

Story: Following the events of "Sundown," Benjamin Linus (Michael Emerson) rejoins his fellow survivors but finds that he's not welcome thanks to a discovery made by Miles (Ken Leung). Elsewhere, Jack (Matthew Fox) and Hurley (Jorge Garcia) join Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell) as he heads to a place on the Island that he hasn't visited in a very long time — a place where he intends to die.

In the sideways reality, Benjamin is a high school history teacher — a doctor, if you will — but his Island ambitions aren't far behind when he makes a power play for a leadership role at the school. Ben is forced to question his plans once he learns that his promotion would require the sacrifice of one of his students, none other than Alex Rousseau (Tania Raymonde).

Sideways Shenanigans: In "Dr. Linus," redemption continues to be a theme of the sideways reality — while Ben sacrificed Alex's life on the Island, he saved her future by sacrificing his own plans for high school leadership. Getting second chances seems to be the alternate world's main thrust.

But there's still some Island connectivity, as even in the sideways, Ben and his father Roger (John Gries) were members of the DHARMA Initiative once upon a time. They left the Island for unknown reasons, but Roger insinuates that they could have stayed if they wished, casting further doubt on the widely perceived notion that the detonation of the bomb caused the Island to sink and reality to fracture. I'm less convinced now, but no matter the cause, it's nice to know that the Island isn't forgotten in the sideways world.

He Wasn't Wrong: According to Miles, Jacob (Mark Pellegrino) hoped he was wrong about Ben right up until the moment that he died. Apparently, he was — Ben just needed a little more time to figure himself out, even though it was ultimately at Jacob's expense. It seems that everybody's favorite little liar is starting to grow into a team player as Ben just wants someone to accept him. I must admit that I kind of like the new Ben, even though I miss his mischievous side.

But is Ben's darkness gone for good? If we're still to believe that he was irrevocably changed by the Smoke Monster when Richard brought him to the temple in last season's "Whatever Happened, Happened," then Smocke (Terry O'Quinn) still holds some serious sway over Ben. The fact that the false John Locke appeared before Ben and offered him Jacob's job in this episode is very telling of Smocke — he doesn't play by Jacob's rules, for better or worse. Whether or not Ben ultimately takes up Smocke's offer remains to be seen, and if he doesn't, who knows how the dark entity will react.

Three's Company: The threesome of Jack, Hurley and Richard is one of the best trios I've ever seen on "Lost." It's just such an unlikely combination. The conversation between Jack and Richard was very telling for both characters, as the seemingly eternal man revealed that he can't die unless someone does the deed for him — something that he desperately wants Jack to do. But the erstwhile spinal surgeon apparently didn't take the whole "Lighthouse" incident as hard as we thought. He got Jacob's message loud and clear; though the purpose isn't known yet, Jack is meant to do something on the Island, which means he can't die, certainly not in an arbitrary way like blowing up at the Black Rock.

Indeed, Jack and Richard have a lot more to say to one another. And now that they're at the beach camp with Sun (Yunjin Kim) and the other survivors, you can bet that they'll have more than a few meaningful words to exchange about the definitions of science, faith and destiny — and maybe Hurley will get a word in edgewise about the meaning of cyborgs.

Six Is A Crowd: Interestingly enough, not even Ilana (Zuleikha Robinson) knows which Kwon is a candidate, but she does know that only six of them remain and she must protect them. By the way, if you're worried that "Lost" won't reveal the importance of the candidates, don't. The writing staff isn't going to answer every single question, but these types of questions — what do the characters mean, what is their overall significance to the Island and the mythology that we've been thrown into — will be answered. The candidates and their supporting players like Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Claire (Emilie de Ravin) are at the core of these crucial mysteries.

Most Valuable Player: Rather than breaking into tears at the sight of Jack and Hurley, Sun-Hwa Kwon instead offers a hilariously understandable "what the heck happened" look, a rather appropriate expression given the fact that her friends disappeared into a white light while Sun herself stayed firmly in her seat on Ajira Flight 316. Sun gets a major hat tip for having one of the most normal knee-jerk reactions I've ever seen to a mystery on "Lost," one that perfectly reflects the "I have no clue what's happening on this show" attitude of the audience.

Best Quote: "I devoted my life longer than you can possibly imagine in service of a man that told me everything was happening for a reason — that he had a plan that I was a part of, and when the time was right, he'd share it with me. Now, that man is gone. So why do I want to die? Because I just found out my whole life was without a purpose." — Richard Alpert on his reasons for attempting suicide.

Second Best Quote: "Want to try another stick?" — Jack after Richard's suicide-by-dynamite attempt fails.

Where We Stand: The cast is split in two groups. In one corner we have Jack, Hurley, Richard, Ilana, Miles, Ben, Sun and Lapidus (Jeff Fahey) at the beach camp trying to figure out their next step. Smocke is leading Claire, Kate, Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), Sawyer (Josh Holloway), Sayid (Naveen Andrews) and the surviving Temple Others to the Hydra Island, presumably to reconstitute the damaged Ajira plane and get the heck out of Dodge, better known as the Island.

Meanwhile, Charles Widmore (Alan Dale) has managed to find the Island after several decades spent trying to return. Is it safe to say that he's part of the "they" that's coming to the island, according to Jacob? And if so, who wants to bet that Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick), Penny (Sonya Walger) and Eloise Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan) are along for the ride?

The Shape of Things to Come: In the next episode, titled "Recon," Sawyer makes his first appearance in three episodes. He also tells somebody: "You and me are getting the hell off this island."

Tell us what you thought of this week's "Lost" in the comments and on Twitter!

This Friday at South by Southwest in Austin, Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal will debut the first footage from "Predators," their updated take on the classic alien invasion horror franchise. The story takes place on the predators' home planet, as a group of humans — including Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne and Topher Grace — are hunted for sport by the alien baddies.

With just days to go until SXSW, MTV News had a chance to chat with co-star Alice Braga about her role, Brody's commitment to packing on muscle and the possibility that original franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger will make a cameo in the film.

MTV News: So some footage is about to debut in Austin. Have you seen any of it yet?

Alice Braga: I haven't seen. I saw it on set, some of the things. I'm really excited because it was a really cool project. We had a lot of fun on set. By what I've seen, the photography is beautiful. Gyula Pados is the [director of photography]. And Nimrod Antal is the director. But the predators, fans, they look really cool! I was really scared. The guys that play them, they're really tall.

MTV News: In terms of special effects, how much is it going to be CGI and how much is going to be practical effects?

Braga: Should I answer that? They really nailed it out. I think it was nice that they took a long time to go back to make the Predators. Being the only girl in the film, I had a blast.

MTV News: Tell us about your character. She's a special forces soldier?

Braga: She's a girl from special forces. She's a tough cookie. She's a sniper. She jumps into the story and is trying to run for her life, which is classic "Predator" films.

MTV News: Such a great cast. We're looking forward to seeing Adrien Brody in an action role, which people were a little skeptical about. What was he like on set in embodying that action hero?

Braga: He was amazing. When we arrived in Hawaii where we first started shooting the film, it was really interesting that he was willing to really get stronger because his body is naturally thin. All of us, we bonded together as a team. We were working out together. He really changed his body, which is great because he challenged himself to do something he hasn't been doing. I think he's done it for some films, but never as an action hero. I think he did a great job. I think people are going to be really impressed with his work. He's a phenomenal actor and really a great person. And a great friend.

MTV News: What is it about Nimrod, in his approach on set and how he pulls everything together, that has everyone so excited?

Braga: He's one of the nicest directors that I've worked with. He's involved and passionate. Not only technically and with the crew, but with the actors. Nimrod is really passionate about action figures! He has a lot of toys in his office. He's like a boy. Being directed by someone who loves that type of film is a blast. He feels like a kid on set telling that story. It's great for the fans to have someone like him directing this film because he will bring what the fans want to see.

MTV News: Did Arnold Schwarzenegger show up on set? Are we gonna see that rumored cameo?

Braga: Who knows? You're not gonna get it out of me!

I swear... watching anything from "Hot Tub Time Machine" makes me feel like I've stepped back into a 1980s John Cusack comedy. That's probably because it's essentially what this movie is. Four friends are thrown back to a simpler time thanks to the titular relaxation tool, and hilarity ensues. Just watch this exclusive new TV spot. The rest will take care of itself.

It can't really be said that "Role Models," the David Wain-written (with Ken Marino and Paul Rudd) and -directed 2008 comedy didn't get enough love. It more than doubled its budget at the box office, which is perfectly great. Still, as much as people enjoyed it, "Role Models" hasn't really been on the path to a sequel like other popular comedies have. Wain told MTV last year that he'd like to do a sequel or a spin-off, but that's as far as things have gone.

Well at least one person is interested in coming back for more "Role Models": King Argotron himself, Ken Jeong. Speaking to MTV's Josh Horowitz on the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet last week, Jeong excitedly talked about his desire to reprise his role.

"You're talking about sequels. Someone on Twitter-- yeah, I tweet, so what?" he said, looking directly at the camera, as if waiting to be challenged, before continuing. "Someone on Twitter actually said 'you should do Role Models 2.' David Wain, the director, and I follow each other, so I immediately re-tweeted that to David Wain."

"I would looooooove to do a sequel to 'Role Models.' There's a lot of ground [left to cover] with the King Argotron and I've had some ideas," Jeong said.

"I've e-mailed-- I've bugged the crap out of David Wain and Ken Marino, the co-writers along with Paul Rudd, [saying] 'Oh we've gotta do the sequel, gotta do the sequel. Guys, gotta do the sequel. Go to Europe. Do it like Bad News Bears, go to Japan or something. C'mon, I don't care... there doesn't need to be a plot I just want to be that guy again. I don't care.'"

Now whether or not this all amounts to anything remains to be seen. Jeong was clearly having some fun on camera in the above video, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. It leaves one to wonder exactly what Wain and Marino thought of his ideas....

Do you think a "Role Models" sequel is a good idea? Does the world need more King Argotron? Perhaps an Argotron-centric spin-off?
