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.

move out and draw fire

I sort of bookend it with The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea.

One of my favorite titles ever

I haven't seen Dear Frankie but reading about it made me think of Sailor. That's a screwy movie. Run, Kris Kristofferson, RUN!

Art Crawl!!!

Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz is to star in the film adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones. The Oscar-winning actress will play the mother of a 14-year-old girl who is raped and murdered in the movie, which is to be made by Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson.

From Yahoo news.

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

Huh. From what I remember of the book, I don't know if Rachel Weisz is a good fit or not, but I like her, so this sounds promising.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Rachel won me over to her side with her brilliance in The Constant Gardener making me like a character I hadn't in a book I did.

I am terribly curious about PJ's future projects, especially the less fantastic (I can see how he could be terribly wrong for this). I just hated this book.

Rachel is skipping the next Mummy installment. It will be weird to see someone else play Evie.

They're going to recast? Not write the character out?

Maria Bello is taking over the role. Weird, huh?

Yes indeedy.

I loved the first Mummy and thought The Mummy Returns was good escapist fun, if not up to the level of the first movie.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can see the resemblance between Bello and Weiss.
