QuoteSON OF THE MASK: Sequel to the Jim Carrey comic book comedy stars Jamie Kennedy as a guy whose infant son somehow has all those powers.
This is one Jamie Kennedy Experiment that succeeds marvelously!
here's hoping the paying cinema goers will be x'd (or how do you spell that shit?) because the movie's budget is $100 mill. any box office predictions? my bet is a total of $11 mill.

I'd bet on a film about Jamie Kennedy's infant son.

Re-making Evil Dead will completely destroy everything that was great about the films.
   And if Bruce is not going to star as Ash then it's just not worth seeing.

Some People Have More Money Than Sense ... Insanely Expensive Animated Adaptation of Tommy in the Works ...

This pretty much speaks for itself:

(01-30-2005) The Who's 'Tommy' to Become Most Expensive Animation

THE WHO's celebrated rock-opera TOMMY is to become the most expensive
animated movie of all time.

GREASE producer ROBERT STIGWOOD plans to turn the 1975 PETE TOWNSHEND movie into a $400 million (GBP210 million) cartoon, which is tipped to feature the voices of singers ROBBIE WILLIAMS and BONO.

Stigwood, 70, says, "Pete Townshend is right behind this.

"It will feature the biggest names in the music industry. The original movie costs $3-4 million but this will cost $300-400 million.

"If you are going to do it, you've got to do it right."

We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

Bruce Willis Goes 16 Blocks
Source: Production Weekly February 17, 2005

Bruce Willis is in talks to star in the action-drama 16 Blocks for director Richard Donner, reports Production Weekly.

Based on a pitch by Richard Wenk, the mismatched buddy film follows a troubled NYPD officer who's forced to take a happy, but down-on-his-luck witness 16 blocks from the police station to 100 Centre Street, although no one wants the duo to make it.

The story is a redemptive tale for characters who are polar opposites. The cop, a dark guy and a heart attack waiting to happen, who is escorting this witness who is a 14-time loser with a sunny outlook.

The site says production is scheduled to begin April 18th in Toronto.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I'd watch that film happily. Wonder how goofy Last Boy Scout sounded based on its premise and its a guilty pleasure classic. Willis is too entertaining and deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt.

Murro boards Warners' 'Train'

Noam Murro, the recipient of this year's DGA Award for outstanding directorial achievement in commercials, has signed on to direct Warner Bros. Pictures' new version of "Strangers on a Train." Anne and Arnold Kopleson are producing. David Seltzer is writing the screenplay for the adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel, which was first made into a film in 1951 by Alfred Hitchcock. The story inspired 1969's "Once You Kiss a Stranger" and Danny DeVito's "Throw Momma From the Train" in 1987. Robert Walker and Farley Granger starred in the original Hitchcock movie, with Granger playing a tennis pro who jokes about killing the father of a stranger he meets in return for the other man killing Granger's wife. Polly Cohen is overseeing the latest version for the studio. Murro has directed a wide variety of commercials, including spots for Adidas, Nike, Starbucks, Bud Light and eBay. He also was nominated for the DGA Award in 2003 and 2004.
