We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

MEDIA REPORTS (3.13.07)

1. GUITAR WORLD – MAY ’07 You’ll see this baby show up more as their coverage isn’t just nerdy articles on how to do wank-off licks faster than ever, but rather broader coverage of guitar-oriented artists in blues, jazz, and rock (My apologies, country fans….for you being country fans, that is). This issue’s strong points: Great article on … Continue reading

OH NO SHE DID-UN!

It’s funny that soon on the heels of Devin’s newly proclaimed love for Tina Fey’s 30 Rock (A love which I share in spades. The “Arsenio Billingham” joke made me laugh harder than anything in movies or TV last year.) comes news of a Fey project that just may test that devotion. Baby Mama, of … Continue reading

QT RIDES WITH THE DEVIL

While I can’t bring you definite progress on the next Quentin Tarantino-directed flick, I can at least confirm the latest “Quentin Tarantino Presents” flick in the same vein as Hostel and Iron Monkey. Word has been lingering since 2004 about a biker pic called Hell Ride that would star Larry Bishop and Michael Madsen that … Continue reading

WONG KAR WHY NOT JUST KEEP WORKING?

Wong Kar Wai is trying to make workaholics look lazy – the genius Hong Kong filmmaker already has three movies on his immediate docket and now he’s added a fourth. The new one is an untitled film about lesbian love in a high school (one ticket, please!), slated to start in April. The new movie … Continue reading

According to sources on the film, the production ground to a halt after Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose was hospitalized with a … Continue reading

WHO ELSE IS A WHO?

You knew that Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell wouldn’t be the only name actors populating the new CGI-ified Who-ville. Now we know the identities of more of the folks who will be hiding behind pixels when Horton Hears A Who hits next year. Will Arnett is our obvious fave among the newcomers, but luminaries and … Continue reading

THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER

We’re in the midst of a blast of news regarding upcoming animated projects this morning, and Dreamworks Animation aims to be the one that trumps them all. They’re putting all of their eggs in the basket of digital 3-D animation starting in 2009, which is about when they expect that the wide distribution of digital … Continue reading

LIFT EVERY VOICE AND ACT

I’m absolutely dating myself here, but I remember when there was a time when major animated films weren’t completely riddled with major Hollywood stars. I mean, the big names for, say, Transformers: The Movie were Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, and Orson Welles, and this wasn’t anywhere near the prime of the career of any of … Continue reading

CRACKHEADS UNITED

A few weeks back we reported on the development of a film based on the hardboiled novel, Life is Hot Cracktown. The book begs for an ensemble and, (not like I’m a prophet or anything, as anyone who read the book knows it’s crammed with a million characters) sure enough- it’s shaping up to be. … Continue reading
