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.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's a mime rhyme meme!

It is possible that they will write a script without thinking about the format, and the movie will be about a locked-room mystery and people in disguise having surreal conversations with other people in disguise while hunting even more people in disguise.
I think it is more likely that they make a movie with a lot of big action set-pieces inserted to take advantage of being in 3D. Perhaps I'm too cynical.
But wait:
The Leon star is due to star alongside Vincent Cassel in the comic book movie about an amoral master of disguise and sadistic killer, directed by Christophe Gans.
...Comic book movie? I see.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I got a repro of this on a trip to France right after college, and it was on my wall for many a move after that. [link]

The local bookstore Booksmith has installed chalkboards all around the top of their bookshelves and hired one of their staff (a talented cartoonist) to illustrate it with colored chalk. He has a gorgeous drawing of that same poster over the mystery section.

Timothy Olyphant in remake of Escape From New York?
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Much as I love Olyphant, Kurt Russell IS Snake Plissken. And it sounds like they're tweaking the premise, too.
