Director Updates
Steven Spielberg’s next movie is an animated motion captured adaptation of TINTIN, the first of three movies he is making with Peter Jackson. He has long talked about directing, but then as easily dismissed it, a biopic of LINCOLN scripted by Tony Kushner and starring Liam Neeson. That project has been in development for many years. He has also announced plans to remake OLDBOY with Will Smith, THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7, the sci-fi project INTERSTELLAR scripted by Jonathan Nolan and he hasn’t ruled out an INDIANA JONES V.

- Nina: How did he get money to make this flop???I used to be his fan and even like Southland Tales…but the box left me so mad!!He is pretentious, he does not care...
- Matt Holmes: Joe, When I can. I literally had 15 minutes to turn that out this morning, I had a feeling it might not have read so well and be full of spelling errors. Proof...
- Joe: Do you proof read your articles?
- John: Training Day was not a great movie but had a great performance especially because it was not a great movie or a great role. It’s very easy to do a good job...
