Is it the new hip chick art?
Probably. But it also most closely captures the movement of the cartoon.
Hopefully the movie will be somewhat more coherent.
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

More than wu-shu? That was my first thought.
Capoeira's never going to get any cred if they keep doing this to it.
Where art thou, Mark Dacascos? He knows a bit of capoeira.
I don't know why I have a bit of a hate on for Jessica Biel, but I gotta love this:
David Goyer, who wrote and directed Blade: Trinity, told SCI FI Wire that the stunt was designed to offer a camera's-eye view of Biel's shooting an arrow. "We've got this camera aimed at her," he said. "She had learned how to shoot the arrow very well. She was 30 or 40 feet away, but she was also up in the air three stories. And all the crew were behind safety [glass]. The only thing that was uncovered was literally a 2-inch-by-2-inch thing right in front of the lens. We said, 'Aim for the camera!' And BAM! Right down the lens, into the housing and into the camera. Destroyed a $300,000 camera. We caught it on film, and we're going to put it on the DVD."
And BAM! Right down the lens, into the housing and into the camera. Destroyed a $300,000 camera.
Nice shootin', Tex.
I hope she got to keep the camera as a trophy.
I predict that she'll get excellent reviews for this movie even if critics savage Snipes and the rest...
Looks like Henson is trying to corner the market on fantasy. Good on 'em.
Henson Options Fantasy Books
The Jim Henson Co. has bought up film rights to four fantasy books for movies mainly aimed at adult audiences, Variety reported. Henson used a recently secured round of financing from a group of private investors in England, the trade paper reported. The books are listed below.
• The House of the Scorpion, by Nancy Farmer, a futuristic tale in which a boy grows up as the clone of a powerful drug lord and dictator of Opium, a country that lies between the United States and Mexico.
• Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale, by Holly Black, a dark tale about a 16-year-old girl who moves to her childhood home in New Jersey with her rock star mother, only to discover that she's a faerie and her life is in danger when she finds herself in the middle of a power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms.
•The Tattooed Map, by Barbara Hodgson, a supernatural tale about a woman who discovers while on a trip around Morocco that a map-shaped tattoo that only she can see is appearing on her hand. When she disappears, her traveling companion must try to find her and unravel the mystery.
•The Uncle Wiggly stories, a collection of 36 tales about a wise rabbit and his woodland animal and human friends.
In other news, there is a God!
YES!!! Best news I've heard all day.
He's only going to make other movies, you know.
Still, better the evil you don't know instead of the annoying marketing campaign for the stupid movie you do know.
