'First Date'
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.
New Line is making a movie of Dante's Inferno.
The fuck ? Also, they want to make movies of Purgatorio and Paradiso ? How the hell do they plan to do that, when nothing happens ?! I don't even see what the purpose of an Inferno movie is. It has two characters, and they see a bunch of stuff in hell, and they meet Satan. And that's it. There's no real story to it.
IMDB's Orlando page is telling me that they're filming PotC 2 & 3 simultaneously. Is this true?
15 lb. makes much more sense. A 6'5" linebacker who already weighs 250 can talk casually of adding 60 lbs. (although I think he'll be sorry later in life), but I don't think a guy I can pick up one-handed can do that kind of thing without a thyroid condition.
Sheesh, Barry's NSM with the subtle, huh? He is like those Hollywood women who get famous and then get their noses done. Like, honey, it's too late now. We know what you look like already.
Concur on the WTF for making a movie out of Inferno. For one thing, you'd have to stop the movie every 10 minutes and explain who all the dead people are, because Dante was the world's original name-dropper.

That's what I heard. It's the LoTR model - cuts the production costs for the expensive sets etc.
What's that I hear from the West? The sound of ita's arm being twisted unbearably?
No, just the neighbor kids shrieking again.
Hey, I'll have you know that took ten whole minutes.

Huh. It's taking much longer to drool over the pics. Especially the one with his eyes closed titled Troy.
Yum!
Bale gained slightly over 60 pounds between his last movie role and the next one, but it took him from Auschwitz survivor-style emaciation in The Machinist to being Batman. I don't think you can quickly gain that much weight without (1) starting out from an unhealthily thin state; or (2) ending up unhealthily bloated.
I remember reading that Bale lost 60 pounds for The Machinist -- was his original weight Batman weight? Lucky wife. Seven weeks it took him to make up the difference.
