The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

[lamas]

Wes Anderson's next film reportedly starts filming in the fall with Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Nicole Kidman.  I'll bet it'll be pretty friggin' excellent.

Clue us in on some more details, see if you can beat Macguffin.

[MacGuffin]

Jan 31, 2003:Rumor has it that Anderson has been secretly working on a "huge" project involving an oceanographer, set mainly in France and Mexico. The tentative title for the film is, "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," with Bill Murray playing the lead.

Sources also point towards the inclusion of Jason Schwartzman (who made his acting debut in "Rushmore"), Gwyneth Paltrow, and of course, Owen Wilson. Mothersbaugh, the music director in all of Anderson's films, has said that there is a possibility that the whole movie could take place on a boat.

For the first time in his career, Anderson is not writing with the help of Wilson, but instead with Noah Baumbach (whose next script, "The Squid and the Whale," is being produced by Anderson).

Game goes to Macguffin.


Whats this Kidman news I hear? Where did that come from?

[Him]

that's ok. i hear that jerry bruckheimer wants her and tom cruise for a days of thunder prequel.

Lord let this be untrue, Kidman is thrusting herself too stongly into too many different projects. She's becoming boring and her acting is going downhill. I'll bet she's after a Coen Bros or PTA movie next.

I dont have a prob with her being in a PTA movie, especially if there is nudity. But she does need to calm down on all the movies. At first I thought it was cool, but it got a little old seeing her name attached to every movie.

Really? I don't think so at all. Firstly, she isn't becomming boring, and secondly, her acting is at its peak; she has never been better. And you have to remember also that all of these films are not going to come out at the same time, and most importantly, that because she is the name of everybody's lips right now, you going to hear that she is attached to every movie where in actual fact she is attached to less than half of them.

[Duck Sauce]

You took what I said to literally. I dont want Kidman to stop making movies, I just think its cooler when you have to wait a little while to see her. Id like to see her be a little more selective, but I dont run her career, so whatever.

I actually think Kidman's best performance was in "To Die For." That movie just plain rocked.

agreed.

i traded in some old cd's for the RT soundtrack. after reading WA's comments about Mark Mothersbaugh (the scorer of all his films) I hope they have an extra on the next DVD showing Mothersbaugh through the writing, scoring and recording process. Seems like that would be cool and definitely interesting.

Does anyone remember who Emma Thompson is?

Kidman or no Kidman I already can't wait for this fucking movie. I'm so glad to see Schwartzman back...and Owen Wilson too, he can finally be funny again after all those fucking lame action movies.

Looks like Bill Murray is becoming Wes' Phil Hoffman...that's awesome....I love the guy. He really works great with Wes, their both geniuses.
