Bash Script - Removing Year and Text from File Name

Hi,

I have files with names in the following naming pattern,

HTML Code:
Name.of.movie[2008]moretext-moretext.mov
or

HTML Code:
Name of movie[2008]moretext-moretext.mov
And I would like to delete the [year] and moretext-moretext leaving just the Name of movie.

The Name of movie will always be different and the year will be any year. Is this possible?


Thanks!
