Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

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.

Because books.

Linda Cardellini is in Drive? I didn't know that!

(Or did you mean Anjelica Huston?)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Will Ferrell movie generator.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's brilliant, Tom. The "Submit it to a studio!" button with the Paramount/Dreamworks/Lion's Gate/etc. tickyboxes is an especially lovely touch.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Who of course will be debuting this week in TV's Hit DRIVE.

You meant Melanie Lynskey.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

I like Will Ferrell and all but those "Sweet Delilah's lantern! My mind is a deviant lard!" snatches of dialogue represent pretty well the dadaist poetry he was given to say in Anchorman.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Huh! I'm so out of touch that I hadn't heard there was a sequel being made:

28 WEEKS Later

Huh. I hadn't heard a thing about that either, Theo. And, obviously, Danny Boyle was busy with Sunshine, so I doubt he had much to do with it.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is responsible.

Boyle produced. How hands-on he was, I don't know. Producers range all the way from "It was my idea originally, so I get my name in the credits" to "I put up a big chunk of the money, so I get my name in the credits," to "almost like a second director."

I think Boyle probably ended up closer to the "almost like a second director" end of the spectrum, depending on how much of his time was being eaten up by Sunshine.

I can hope that it's an Aliens/Alien quality sequel, anyway. Until I learn otherwise. Certainly not the way to bet, but hey, it can happen.
