I Am Link

--- Like the little train engine that could, The Film Experience's Nathaniel is still chugging along with his 2007 Preview where he, myself, and my fellow beloved bloggers all chatter about what we're looking forward to. We're up to #11 of 20 now. Check it out!

--- And somehow, Nathaniel finds time to make a list about horsies as well. I stand in awe of the man's dedication. Also, Jane Fonda rules.

--- In an interview with Lilja's Library, a Stephen King fansite, writer/director Frank Darabont talks bunches and bunches about The Mist, what other Stephen King property he wants to adapt, and that sordid business with his rejected Indy 4 script.

--- Speaking of Indy 4, did ya hear it's set for release on next year's Memorial Day? Maybe they want to, I dunno, start shooting it soon?

--- Yahoo, indeed! Yahoo! Movies has got a video up on Grindhouse, which includes an interview with Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, as well as some not-seen-before footage.

--- Oh the things I'd give to get to visit the set of The Golden Compass. Like, my spleen. But people from real websites, like Moriarty at AICN, get to keep their spleens and visit these sets anyway, the bastards. And then he goes and questions the movie's commercial viability! Sheesh. Ungrateful bastard at that.

--- Go Baz! Stale Popcorn steers me to a nice interview with the Baz-man himself in which he talks about his upcoming movie Australia, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. Choice Baz-quote:

"[Australia]'s a fundamental shift from all those films that belonged to the "Red Curtain Trilogy." Those films came from an interpretation of the Hollywood musical. This really comes from the love of big romances that use landscapes to tell stories.

I've got to be really careful not to say I'm making Gone With the Wind or Giant or Lawrence of Arabia. But those films share something in that they take a heightened emotional story and use the landscape to kind of amplify it. They're mythological pieces, and that's what I'm making. "
