I do a lot of my work from a cafe in the afternoons, and for the past couple of days I’ve sat near a group of high school kids having the old ‘Pirates vs Ninjas’ conversation. After cutting them some slack for being about five years behind the curve, I realized that there’s this burgeoning … Continue reading
So the rumors have been flying about Reese Witherspoon opting out of the next Joe Carnahan film, a remake of the 1965 missing child/"but was she even real?" film Bunny Lake is Missing. Some sources said the split came by way of an uncompleted script. Others said it was simply fallout from her recent divorce. … Continue reading
For an actor, there’s nothing that makes the bank account happy like discovering that your character isn’t as dead as previously thought.

Well, those waiting for Wii to have some online-multiplayer capability can start rejoicing. Kind of. GameSpy, the company who brought you the Nintendo DS online-multiplayer connection, announced today that it would be providing the multiplayer middleware technology for the Nintendo Wii. As long suspected, multiplayer for the Wii is not to begin until June 2007. … Continue reading
After March of the Penguins won an Oscar and became a license to print money, I half expected director Luc Jacquet to announce he’d always wanted to make a massive Hollywood animal movie, like a big-budget remake of The Hellstrom Chronicle.
