Here’s what else is going on in nerd news around the Web:

IMAX & Warner Bros. sign up for a 20-picture deal: Today, Warner Bros. announced that it will release 20 films into IMAX theaters over the next three year. The list of planned releases so far is below, but note something interesting: We won’t see The Hobbit on screens until Dec., 2012 – yikes – and have confirmed the production of Batman 3 and Superman.

Legends of the Guardian: The Owls of Ga’Hoole 3D (September 24, 2010); Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (3D) (November 19, 2010); Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (3D) (July 15, 2011); Happy Feet 2 (3D) (November 18, 2011); and The Hobbit (December 2012).

In a dark and twisted town: This week’s episode of Fringe goes noir, and maybe even a little crazy. Apparently, not only will Walter and the team time travel, they’ll be singing, too. Catch it Thursday on FOX at 9 p.m. ET.
