I Am Link

--- Hugh's Pride - I got called out by Joe at Low Resolution to write up my thoughts on last night's viewing of The Pride - the play with Hugh Dancy and Ben Whishaw all gay up on each other - but I don't really have so much to say beyond what Joe said in his Whishaw-focused post. Everybody's very very good in the show and if you're around NY before the end of March I really recommend seeing it. And Hugh only deepens my crush on him the more I see of him. He's splendid. A really touching two hours of theater.

--- Really Lost - Another week, another chance for me to post something frivolous about the new episode of Lost and then direct you to the real meaty conversation over at Sean's.

--- After Jurassic - Momentary kid-star Joseph Mazello - best known for playing little Timmy in the first Jurassic Park film - is reteaming with Spielberg now at 25 years old for The Pacific, the ten-part HBO series on what else World War II. Look at him now! God I am old.

--- Post Tank - Slash has got info on some projects that the UK Film Council is allotting money towards and apparently there's something called The Cleaner which Andrea "Fish Tank" Arnold is working on, besides the supposed Wuthering Heights adaptation she's also attached to. And yes, I thought Fish Tank was so good that I'm now following her every move.

--- Right On Romans - A studio has picked up Neil Marshall's Centurion. That's really it, so far. No date yet. Someone at the studio calls it "a blood-drenched masterpiece."

--- An Other Roman - Kim Morgan gives us her eight favorite Polanski films, all of which are glorious glorious things. Why haven't I seen Ghost Writer yet, arrrggghhhh....

--- Pumping Pilgrim - I guess there was another test screening of Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim movie and Slash as got the round-up of a bunch of opinions. The consensus seems to swing towards NERDGASM.

--- Never Score - A wee bit of news on Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go, based on the Kazuo Ishiguro novel - Rachel Portman is scoring the film. She recently scored the Grey Gardens film with Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. Also at that link is some word on what went down with Mark Romanek's ditching of The Wolfman movie, as well as word on a horror film he might be doing with Ben Stiller next. Plus the tiniest grainiest written-upon glimpse of a new image from NLMG (seen there to the left). Well at least this confirms the movie's been made and really going to be in front of me at some point. I worry.
