Spike ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
I forgot to mention that I saw a trailer for the new Bond movie. I can't really see what the fuss over Daniel Craig is. He struck me as dead sexy and very Bond like.
Cashmere's white font in re Paul Bettany makes me want to see the movie now!
Heh. Those scenes are sadly very short.
So does Bettany look like EDWARD SCISSORHANDS-era Anthony Michael Hall the way he does in the previews, or is that another thing like Hanks' hair?
I wonder if they will film Angels & Demons, because visually I think it would make a prettier film.
Looks like they might: [link]
Thanks, dcp. Chronologically Angels and Demons comes first, but that should be easy enough to get around.
Anne McCaffrey's best-selling and long-running SF book series The Dragonriders of Pern will be adapted for the big screen by Canadian production company Copperheart Entertainment, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Copperheart, which was behind the 2005 Oscar-winning animated short Ryan, has optioned the 19-book series, which began with the Dragonflight in 1968. The books are best known for having humans ride dragons with which they telepathically bond. With Dragonflight, McCaffrey became the first woman ever to win a Hugo Award for fiction, and she is one of the 2006 inductees into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.
Copperheart, run by Steve Hoban, also has produced the Imax 3-D movie Cyberworld.
Pern nearly came to TV in a 2001 series for The WB from Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore, but the network pulled the plug on the pilot after Moore refused to make changes to the Pern mythos that he thought would harm its integrity.

Um. Okay.

Good lord. It went to 19?

Well, they wanted to replace the dragons with nubile twentysomethings who just happened to breathe fire.
"Did you hear? The dragons look like us now."
AND THEY HAVE A PLAN.
