M. Night Shyamalan is going to tell us what is Happening

Whoopee! Test footage of the forthcoming Where The Wild Things Are movie, directed by Spike Jonze. It won't actually be out until 2009, but I'm hoping for a cross between Donnie Darko and Beetlejuice. Word is the film would have been ready this year, but there are massive reshoots scheduled as it's just too scary. Sacrilege. That was the whole point of the book! Poor old Maurice Sendak must be livid.

So, to the clip, of which Spike Jonze says:
That was a very early test with the sole purpose of just getting some footage to Ben our vfx (visual effects) supervisor to see if our vfx plan for the faces would work. The clip doesn't look or feel anything like the movie, the Wild Thing suit is a very early cringy prototype, and the boy is a friend of ours Griffin who we had used in a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video we shot a few weeks before. We love him, but he is not in the actually film...Oh and that is not a wolf suit, its a lamb suit we bought on the internet. Talk to you later... - Spike


This clip was originally tracked down by Aintitcool, I think, but it keeps getting yanked by the producers. I love it when the big monster says "Nah, you're right, robots are the best..."

Wikilink about the book.
Listen to a track by The Heroes, also called 'Where The Wild Things Are', here (not sure if I like it or not)

And there's this little early piece of CG from Disney, also based on Sendak's lovely book:

Get yourself a room at Nike Hotel

Stay




Most people will not 'like' this film. At it's best it's a profoundly psychological and existential example of The Human Condition. At it's worst, it comes across as a bloody mess. But ( and it's a reasonably large but ) Stay does offer an insight into a different way of presenting a film.

Experimental, stylised and rule breaking. The director, Marc Forster, could be forgiven for being too indulgent in technique and editing, but the story deserves an abstract approach.

Without revealing the plot, the pay-off comes after the film has finished and you think about what you have just experienced...

In this tar black satire from Jason Reitman, director of the upcoming Juno, we have a glimpse into the world of tobacco conglomerates.

This had a limited UK release last year, so stayed under the radar, but don't let that put you off. This is a seriously intelligent comedy that hits on many levels.

Presented from the warped perspective of those on the inside, it showcases a genuinely engaging performance from Aaron Eckhart. It's easy to see why Christopher Nolan cast him as Harvey Dent, in this summers The Dark Knight.

Steven Seagal



Yes, that's right, I love Steven Seagal.

He is one of the BEST actors and works with all the other BEST actors.
He has created so many great films, and been on many film sets around the world. Know by only a few, he is also a mystical and religious man

Of course he has done his fair share of
commercial work, but he is just another 'American Legend'.

Damn it, I love Tom Cruise! The man is a legend.
He is someone capable of anything, be it getting down with the homies, or just singing like crazy.
He's more than just an actor though, he is driven enough to be something of a holy man, and is one that is mocked, time and time again. But really most just want to be like him.
However, to be fair, he may be YouTube's best content provider, but sometimes the poor guy can be right about some things...
