well, it seems that the Diabolical plans set in motion by Satan's Children (Catholic League) have been foiled again.


Sandra Bullock is set to produce (and possibly star in) the upcoming Warner Bros. release entitled "The List", a story about a man who gives his girlfriend a list of things she must do before he will marry her.
Sounds like a groovy flick, course, I'm a Bullock fan anyhoo.

Robert Rodriguez has his grublies on Mike Allred's MADMAN. He's in the middle of another film at the moment, but Shooting could begin this time next year...
I have never truly been a fan of MADMAN comics, though I've read one or two and thought they were great, my comic addiction at the time had no room for another title. It's going to be interesting to see how Rodriquez does with a Comic movie. this is going to be interesting.

07.15.99-
Jeffrey Combs is cast to play Wormtongue in the upcoming Lord of the Rings...
I knew Mr. Combs would "worm" his way into this film, not surprising as he has worked with PJ before. (The Frighteners)

07.14.99-
Keanu Reeves has signed to do two sequels for Matrix, which will be filmed back to back and released within months of each other...Isn't this one of the cardinal cinematic sins?

07.13.99-
Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" project is going to cost $190 million US second only to Titanic...There has been a ruckus raised about the cost of this project. It would seem that media, as well as fans, are so eager to condemn this project, that they have overlooked the fact that there are 3, count them, 3 films coming out of that 190 mil.
