Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio in Warner Bros. Pictures 'The Great Gatsby'

Director Baz Luhrmann jazzes up F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic Jazz Age novel as "The Great Gatsby" dances into theaters this weekend. We all know Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan will do their darndest to bring "old sport" back to the popular lexicon, but here are five facts about the film you might not know, but definitely should.

An abandoned film set from "Star Wars Episode IV" remains intact in Tunisia.

Skywalker's home planet of Tatooine was depicted in the film that's now more than 35 years old. And at least part of that sequence was shot in a North African desert.

Flash forward three decades and some change, when New York-based visual artist and filmmaker Rä di Martino stumbled upon the dilapidated film set.

'The Great Gatsby': The movie and the book (Warner Bros. / Scribner)If you haven't already, you're going to hear a whole bunch of gripes about "The Great Gatsby" movie out this weekend. And the biggest of them all will likely have something to do with how faithful it was to the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.

Needless to say, there are some significant changes. But there are significant changes in "Iron Man" when put up against the comic books -- sometimes change is necessary, and even good. Then again, sometimes they're not.

We've narrowed it down to five key differences between Baz Luhrmann's adaptation and the Fitzgerald text (other than that whole Jay-Z thing) so you can be mentally prepared, for better or for worse.

One could even argue its heart is true and that it's been a pal and a confidant to its loyal and expanding fan base.

Oh, we could keep going.

Jokes aside, "Fast & Furious 6" director Justin Lin, who has now helmed four of the car-themed action films, has revealed an unexpected, if not quirky, inspiration that informed his vision for the popular movie series: a very special episode of the hit '80s show "The Golden Girls."

For an honorary knight who has his own convention, Grant Morrison remains relatively unknown -- unless of course you're a comic books fan.

Pretty much everyone in the comics community knows that Morrison has written some seminal runs in both the DC Comics and Marvel universes, including game-changing retellings of both Superman and Batman.

Now that two of Morrison's most popular works are winding down -- "Action Comics" and "Batman Incorporated" -- the legendary writer invited a select group of journalists to DC Comics' office in Burbank, CA to share how he's going to be blowing minds next.

In an Internet-obsessed age when it seems as though too many people seek fame via viral videos, it's easy to forget that there are plenty of people out there who didn't intend for certain videos to end up online and became Internet famous for something deeply embarrassing. Case in point the "Star Wars kid," Ghyslain Raza, who was made Internet famous ten years ago when a video of him yielding a gold club retriever as a lightsaber hit the Interwebs.
