Battling directors on Tintin set: Herge estate says Peter Jackson is directing
#1
, Spielberg says he is, and Jackson is *producer*.
FilmBuzz
:
Product placement in reverse: Virgin Airlines JFK to Vegas route now renamed after hit HBO show "Entourage". Stranger than fiction....
FilmBuzz
:
Principal casting done for Japanese film of "The Red Thread". Original was, get this, a best selling novel only dist'd via cell-phone.
FilmBuzz
:
Director Mathieu Kassovitz seeks to distance himself from "Babylon AD" prior to release, says it's "pure violence and stupidity". Ouch.
FilmBuzz
:
Love this title: Alan Donne's football movie: "Patron Saints: How the Saints Gave New Orleans a Reason to Believe". for Voodoo Pictures.
FilmBuzz
:
I don't see the appeal but Warner funding Coco Chanel biopic, starring Audrey Tautou. Principal filming starts 15 Sept in Paris.

do you know if Pontypool has a website? I can't seem to find one. Need more zombie info.
FilmBuzz
:
Bruce McDonald's zombie pic "Pontypool" sold Canadian distro rights before world premiere at Toronto fest. Name change for US market?
FilmBuzz
:
Premiering at Edinburgh Festival, "Dorian Gray" is a "slick, chic crowd pleaser" and a satire too. Wilde would have loved it!
FilmBuzz
:
Swedish animated feature "Gnomes and Trolls: The Secret Chamber" is gaining major int'l distribution, not yet in USA.

i enjoyed "The Sixth Sense" i'm so 'easy' when it comes to entertainment usually-i didn't get it until about the end... pam

I'm a fan of The Six Sense. I really enjoyed Unbreakable as well. Can't really get into the rest of MNS's movies.

@filmbuzz
- I've been to the Telluride Film Fest many times, as well as the L.A., Santa Barbara, and Palm Springs festivals, so I'm a fan!
FilmBuzz
:
Still, it's pretty creepy, all in all. Any fans out there?
FilmBuzz
:
Watching "The Sixth Sense". It's not bad, but I still say the "twist" was obvious by the end of the movie...
FilmBuzz
:
Impressive to see how aggresively Disney is marketing Ariel's Beginning. Saw it all over today in stores and markets.
FilmBuzz
:
Maybe a blockbuster Babylon AD will help (though I'm skeptical) but Vin Diesel says two sequels to the Chronicles of Riddick
FilmBuzz
:
Oh, and MGM is denying it's for sale, saying that it retained Goldman Sachs to pursue "capital enhancements". Uh, an investment?
FilmBuzz
:
This is dumb: Cinemax going 24x7 HD on Sept 1, but it's 1080i, which is far inferior to 1080p. Guys, guys.... whassup?
FilmBuzz
:
Lots of films shooting in Florida too, including Marley and Me, Dostana, I Love You Phillip Morris, Stepdude, Burn Notice and much more.
FilmBuzz
:
How do movies pick state and city locales? Often, its because the states offer tax incentives. Latest entrant? Michigan: Best incentives.
FilmBuzz
:
Disney released "Ariel's Beginning", the prequel to Little Mermaid, at premier on Catalina Island. Stylin, Disney!
FilmBuzz
:
Islamic advocacy group protesting the upcoming Warner film "Towelhead". They're right, title is offensive. But appropriate? Dunno.
FilmBuzz
:
It's logical, but I'm anxious to see results: Marvel teaming with Animax/Madhouse for anime versions of classic Marvel heroes.
FilmBuzz
:
Ah, totally exhaused. Too bad, The Professional just coming on TV. Splendid movie, tough, gritty, and quite compelling.

@FilmBuzz
no.. decided to skip Mirrors... and gonna skip Clone Wars as well... looking forward to Death Race and Babylon AD this week
FilmBuzz
:
@gmanreviews
cool. Did you see Mirrors? And if so, what did ya think? Saw Star Wars:Clone Wars last night, not hugely impressed.
FilmBuzz
:
or HBO, Cinemax, etc et, for that matter. I envision one twitter channel per movie channel, and you suscribe to those you actually get. ??
FilmBuzz
:
so film buffs, would a TCM or AMC "now showing" twitter channel be useful? Wouldn't be hard to build...

I agree Zohan was okay... Tuturro was annoying though for some reason. Havsn't seen Love Guru yet though
FilmBuzz
:
... and if you're a Clint Eastwood fan, American Movie Classics will have all five Dirty Harry films playing sequentially next week.
FilmBuzz
:
very nice touch: actor just swigged some whiskey, and as he did so, a fly landed on his beard and flew off again. Splendid color
FilmBuzz
:
Watching one of the classic Westerns: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. More of a soap opera than I remembered. Cheesy spaghetti western.
FilmBuzz
:
Who else thought Zohan was mildly entertaining? I mean, I thought Love Guru was better, and both were equally juvenile and weak.
FilmBuzz
:
Finally got a chance to see You Don't Mess with the Zohan and, well, it was sophomoric but amusing. Good airplane movie, lots of giggles.
FilmBuzz
:
People keep asking "why do a remake"? The answer is simple: risk avoidance. If it was popular once, won't the remake be popular too?
FilmBuzz
:
Kudos for the test: Fox will live-stream premiere of Fringe and season opener of Terminator simultaneous to airing: but only to colleges
FilmBuzz
:
And up at Pixar, they've started work on "Toy Story 3" apparently, with Jodi Benson returning to voice Barbie and Michael Keaton voicing Ken
PamHoffman

@FilmBuzz
why do a remake of 'Children of the Corn'? wasn't the other one enough??? pam
FilmBuzz
:
Sci Fi channel is doing remake of creepy "Children of the Corn" with David Anders and Kandyse McClure in the lead roles.
FilmBuzz
:
Tropic Thunder tops box office this weekend, pulling in $16.1 mil and a 10 day cumulative domestic BO of $65mil. House Bunny

wonder if there's going to be a ghostwriter under the scenes / under da table? or if Phelps will take it on by himself.
FilmBuzz
:
Not film news, but Olympic superstar Michael Phelps signed with Simon and Schuster to write autobiog BY CHRISTMAS. Phew, that's fast!
