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.
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

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.

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

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

Rose Byrne's in both Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later so everyone's a winner.

Have you seen the trailer yet, Theo? Bone chilling. I can't wait. In some ways it looks to be much scarier because its basic premise is to hold out hope that everything's going to be okay, and then snatch it away.

Serial:
It's the Muse song used at the end that just breaks me every time I watch the trailer.

Hat trick:
In addition to Rose Byrne and Robert Carlyle, the film also stars Idris Elba and Harrold Perrineau.
