Valentine:
Thanks to Lori at Moviehole,
a scan from the David Boreanz's upcoming thriller
is now available. You'll probably hear a lot about
this movie from me in the future because two of the
cast members in this film are actually (or at least
former) Cinema Confidential readers.
Rollerball:
Right off her big role in "X-Men", Rebecca
Romijn-Stamos is making a name for herself in the
movie world by joining the cast of John McTierran's
("Die Hard", "Thomas Crown Affair")
MGM-remake of "Rollerball". Romijn-Stamos
joins Chris Klein and LL Cool J and will take the
role of Aurora. Shooting is slated to take place in
Montreal shortly. Wit the film set ``five minutes
in the future,'' Rollerball contests are beginning
to pack sports stadiums around the world, and a race
for TV ratings adds extra havoc and danger to the
already brutal sport. Jean Reno (''Ronin'') has been
cast as a ratings-hungry team owner. The movie is
slated for a 2001 summer release.
Scooby-Doo:
Cinescape Online reports that Raja Gosnell
has been selected to direct the long-awaited "Scooby
Doo" project. Gosnell's other credits include
"Home Alone 3", "Big Momma's House",
and "Never Been Kissed". The Scooby-Doo
project is still in "development hell" with
the script still being tweaked.
The
Anniversary Party:
Parker Posey ("Scream 3") has joined the
cast of Fine Line's "The Anniversary Party,''
set to go before cameras Wednesday in Los Angeles.
The picture, to be shot on digital video, marks the
directorial debuts of Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alan
Cumming, who also wrote the screenplay. It's an ensemble
story about the complexity of love and the deterioration
of relationships. The cast includes Jane Adams, Mina
Badie, Jennifer Beals, Phoebe Cates, John Hickey,
Kevin Kline, Denis O'Hare, Gwyneth Paltrow, Michael
Panes and John C. Reilly.
Redneck:
Orlando Jones is making a name for himself after his
Mad TV days...Jones will star in this feature that
is based on his own idea. Written by Brent Briscoe
and Mark Fauser, the film will follow a young black
man that is adopted and raised by a redneck family
in Alabama that believe he is in fact white, but just
suffering from a skin condition. When they find out
his true nature, "hijinks ensue."
Indiana
Jones 4:
I know we're all sick of Indy quotes but since it's
coming from my favorite talk-show, "Late Night
w/Conan O'Brien", I just had to put it up here.
'Clint' checks in saying that Harrison Ford has once
again, stated that he's committed to doing another
Indy film but that it was a matter of finding time
for him, Spielberg, and Lucas to work together. Conan
joking stated that the story should be called "Indiana
Jones and the Comfortable Bed" in which an 80 Year
old Indy just sits from his bed and picks treasures
out that he wants.

Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon:
The most acclaimed international film of the
year is coming to the U.S. in Christmas. A full-trailer
for the movie is available on the Net right
now. The movie has received critical applause
worldwide, even from the Cannes film festival.
The movie stars Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh,
and is directed by Ang Lee ("The Ice Storm").
The dialogue in this trailer is unfortunately
in Mandarin Chinese but the visuals are absolutely
spectacular and has action scenes better than
"The Matrix"!.
