Apparently lesbians weren’t enough to turn the tide of Fox’s teen sudser ‘The OC’, so they’ve enlisted the full power of the Force to bring their ratings up. Fox has announced that the March 10th episode of ‘The OC’ will feature the premiere of the latest movie trailer for ‘Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith’. The trailer will be released to theatres the following day, but fans will want to tape ‘The OC’ and fast forward to the commercials after watching ‘Survivor: Palau’.. or is that just me?

Just in time for Easter it appears a toned down version of ‘The Passion of the Christ’ is headed back to theatres. Mel Gibson’s surprisingly popular telling of Anne Catherine Emmerich’s ‘The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ‘ followed the crucifixion of Jesus in great, gory detail – often too gory for some. The theatrical re-release will bring the violence down with trimmed scenes, and find release on March 11th.
