Moooovies.
Jun. 4th, 2003 08:59 amThe teaser for the Incredibles is up on the Pixar site - in Quicktime, obviously.
There are some pictures from the set of Van Helsing up here. Looks interesting.
Looks like another Benji movie is in the works.
On June 3rd, from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm, CBS had a special: \"A.F.I.\'s 100 Years, 100 Greatest Heroes & Villains\". These are the top 10 heroes & villains from the special.
Heroes:
1.) Atticus Finch from “To Kill A Mockingbird”
2.) Indiana Jones from “Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom”
3.) James Bond from “Dr. No” to “Die Another Day”
4.) Rick Blaine from “Casablanca”
5.) Will Kane from “High Noon”
6.) Clarice Starling from “Silence of the Lambs”
7.) Rocky Balboa from “Rocky”
8.) Ellen Ripley from “Aliens”
9.) George Bailey from “It’s a Wonderful Life”
10.) T.E. Lawrence from “Lawrence Of Arabia”
Villains:
1.) Hannibal Lecter from “Silence of the Lambs”
2.) Norman Bates from “Psycho”
3.) Darth Vader from “Star Wars”
4.) The Wicked Witch of the West from “The Wizard of Oz”
5.) Nurse Ratched from “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest”
6.) Mr. Potter from “It’s a Wonderful Life”
7.) Alex Forrest from “Fatal Attraction”
8.) Phyllis Dietrichson from “Double Indemnity”
9.) Regan MacNeil from “The Exorcist”
10.) The Queen from “Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs”
(WHAT? The Queen and not Maleficent? What???)
The rumors about Superman are still all over the place. Directors, stars... It's all up in the air.
There are rumors swirling about a movie version of The Family Guy. Apparently if the DVDs do well enough, they might do it.
Wow. This is really, really interesting. It would be a dream if Pixar ended up hooking up with Dreamworks. That would be the culmination of a slow spiral of stupid decisions made by Disney.
Danny Elfman is scoring The Hulk. The soundtrack also includes a new exclusive track, "Set Me Free," which was inspired by the film and recorded by an all-new super group featuring Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots; vocals), Slash (Guns N' Roses; guitar), Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses; bass), Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses; drums) and Dave Kushner (Suicidal Tendencies; guitar). (Wow. That's a line up. Geeze.)
Marvel Comics will release Ultimate Six in September. The six-issue mini-series is written by Brian Michael Bendis, with art by Trevor Hairsine and Danny Miki, and covers by John Cassaday. Apparently it will be who ever is in that group (the line up is still changing - Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Wasp, Thor and Giant-Man atm.) versus the Sinister Six. Interesting.

Date: 2003-06-04 09:20 am (UTC)Pixar is free of their obligations to Disney right now, and can take their time shopping around for a better deal (while continuing to work with Disney)
Re:
Date: 2003-06-04 09:28 am (UTC)And while they are free from Disney, they still have at least one, if not two, projects with them that are not yet completed. The Incredibles is the next one coming out in November of 2004.

Date: 2003-06-04 09:43 am (UTC)2) Pixar has fulfilled their contract with Disney. Anything else they do is to pay the bills while they find another partner. And it'll advertise Pixar (which certainly won't hurt). And it maintains good relations with Disney in case the rest of the world is too dumb to jump at the chance to partner with Pixar.
Re:
