PRODUCE TWO FILMS BASED ON “THE HOBBIT”

Los Angeles, CA (Tuesday, December 18, 2007) Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson; Harry Sloan, Chairman and CEO, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (MGM); Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs of New Line Cinema have jointly announced today that they have entered into the following series of agreements:

* MGM and New Line will co-finance and co-distribute two films, “The Hobbit” and a sequel to “The Hobbit.” New Line will distribute in North America and MGM will distribute internationally.

* Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will serve as Executive Producers of two films based on “The Hobbit.” New Line will manage the production of the films, which will be shot simultaneously.

* Peter Jackson and New Line have settled all litigation relating to the “Lord of the Rings” (LOTR) Trilogy.

Said Peter Jackson, “I’m very pleased that we’ve been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line. ‘The Lord of the Rings’ is a legacy we proudly share with Bob and Michael, and together, we share that legacy with millions of loyal fans all over the world. We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth. I also want to thank Harry Sloan and our new friends at MGM for helping us find the common ground necessary to continue that journey.”

“Peter Jackson has proven himself as the filmmaker who can bring the extraordinary imagination of Tolkien to life and we full heartedly agree with the fans worldwide who know he should be making ‘The Hobbit,’” said Sloan, MGM’s Chairman and CEO. “Now that we are all in agreement on ‘The Hobbit,’ we can focus on assembling the production team that will capture this phenomenal tale on film.”

Bob Shaye, New Line Co-Chairman and Co-CEO comments, “We are very pleased we have been able to resolve our differences, and that Peter and Fran will be actively and creatively involved with ‘The Hobbit’ movies. We know they will bring the same passion, care and talent to these films that they so ably accomplished with ‘The Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy.”

“Peter is a visionary filmmaker, and he broke new ground with ‘The Lord of the Rings,’” notes Michael Lynne, New Line Co-Chairman and Co-CEO. “We’re delighted he’s back for ‘The Hobbit’ films and that the Tolkien saga will continue with his imprint. We greatly appreciate the efforts of Harry Sloan, who has been instrumental in helping us reach our new accord.”

The two “Hobbit” films – “The Hobbit” and its sequel – are scheduled to be shot simultaneously, with pre-production beginning as soon as possible. Principal photography is tentatively set for a 2009 start, with the intention of “The Hobbit” release slated for 2010 and its sequel the following year, in 2011.

The Oscar-winning, critically-acclaimed LOTR Trilogy grossed nearly $3 billion worldwide at the box-office. In 2003, “Return of the King” swept the Academy Awards, winning all of the eleven categories in which it was nominated, including Best Picture – the first ever Best Picture win for a fantasy film. The Trilogy’s production was also unprecedented at the time.

Imagine Peace

Today is the 27th anniversary of the death of John Lennon. Yoko has written a letter to him on her website, Imagine Peace.

I miss you, John. 27 years later, I still wish I could turn back the clock to the Summer of 1980. I remember everything - sharing our morning coffee, walking in the park together on a beautiful day, and seeing your hand stretched to mine - holding it, reassuring me that I shouldn't worry about anything because our life was good.

I had no idea that life was about to teach me the toughest lesson of all. I learned the intense pain of losing a loved one suddenly, without warning, and without having the time for a final hug and the chance to say, "I love you," for the last time. The pain and shock of that sudden loss is with me every moment of every day. When I touched John's side of our bed on the night of December 8th, 1980, I realized that it was still warm. That moment has haunted me for the past 27 years - and will stay with me forever.

First Six Minutes and Poster of Dark Knight!!!

Here's the newly released teaser poster.... I fuckin' love it!!!!!



Here's a very spoiler filled description of the first six minutes that will be shown in Imax theaters this December.... well in the US at least.

A bank heist is really the only way to introduce the Clown Prince of Crime.

It starts off with a breathtaking shot of Gotham City in broad daylight. The camera swoops into this big glass skyscraper the way only an IMAX movie can. It was stunning. Then BOOM! One of the windows in this big glass skyscraper is blown out. It then cut to two thugs in ugly clown masks (the ones we saw in the first publicity stills that were released months ago) shooting a zip line down to an adjacent rooftop.

Cut to the street as we see another thug waiting on a street corner with his clown mask in his hand. We’re looking at him from behind and can’t see his face. A van pulls up and the thug puts on his mask and jumps in to join the rest of the clowns. The clown who’s driving is bitching about how this Joker guy who planned the heist didn’t even bother to show up and questions why they should cut him in on any of the loot. There’s an awesome line from one of the clowns about The Joker and how he wears make-up as “war paint” to scare the crap out of people. Very cool stuff.

The two clowns in the skyscraper dramatically swing down to the rooftop while the clowns in the van enter the bank guns a blazing.

One of the rooftop clowns disables the silent alarm and comments that the alarm isn’t going to the cops. Once the alarm is halted, his partner shoots him dead.

Cut to William Fichtner.

I was so amped to see Fichtner’s creepy mug. He’s the new Brion James. He’s in everything the way Brion was back in the 80s and he’s as badass as ever. Brilliant casting, Mr. Nolan. Fichtner is the bank manager and he looks pissed.

Then cut to two clowns cracking the safe. Once the one clown gets the safe door open, his partner shoots him dead. We start to see a pattern here. The remaining clown starts to fill the gym bags with cash.

As the clowns in the bank lobby control the crowd, Fichtner goes to work. The bank manager pulls out a shotgun and starts hunting clowns. It was unexpected and super-freakin-awesome. Crazy-ass Fichtner is enraged and ranting on about how these clowns have no idea who they are messing with. You learn that much like the rest of Gotham City this bank is corrupt and run by the mob. Nice twist. Of course
the silent alarm doesn’t go to the cops.

Too bad Fichtner runs out of shells and the remaining clowns shoot his angry ass. He’s down, but not dead.

Then the clowns start to argue with each other. One clown asks the other, “So, I guess the Joker told you to shoot me once we had the money?” The other clown tells him, “No, I’m supposed to shoot the bus driver.”

“Bus driver?” WHAM! A school bus crashes through the front of
the bank, running over the first clown.

The back of the bus opens and the bus driver clown jumps out and helps load up the loot. Then bus driver clown gets capped. One clown left.

Fichtner bank manager then mutters something about there once being honor in the underworld of Gotham and this gets the clown’s attention. The clown shoves a grenade in Fichtner’s mouth with a string attached to the pin. The clown takes off his mask and we get an 80-foot IMAX Heath Ledger Joker face telling us “whatever doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” It’s chill inducing. People are going to lose their minds.

The Joker jumps into the school bus, closes the back door on the string, and drives off. The pin on the grenade is pulled as the bus pulls away. Instead of an explosion, pink gas is released. The school bus pulls into the street and joins a convoy of school buses loaded with children.

The Joker escapes into Gotham City.

I can't wait to see this... and chuck it onto my iPod to watch it over and over and over!!!!!

Help... Take 1

Here's The Beatles goofing off while lipsyncing.... not sure if its the bad sound-picture sync, but man, they can't remember the words. Its funny how Paul keeps trying to block George's head from the camera. It cracks me up when they start bouncing on the plank everytime they reach the chorus. Then in comes the fake snow!!!!

Man... what a great clip, makes me almost forget that other steaming pile of shit I posted....

Snoop Sings!?!?!?!!?!

Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction Closed Captioned
Uploaded by Elodie-74

What the fuck is this pile of crap??!?!?!?! Whoever allowed him to do this should be shot..... not only the singing but the horrid filmclip as well, ripping of every video from the late 70's... but not in a good way. The Dogg looks so stoned, he was prolly only able to nod then giggle like a little school girl. I can't believe that someone thought this shit needed a video.... least they distorted Snoop's voice to cover the fact he can't sing for shit.....

Am I being to harsh???

Gandalf Legendary Scale Bust

Some quick pics of my new pick-up before I head off to work..... might post better pics later on.

As far as I'm concerned, I really love this piece... the paintjob is fantastic.

New Prince Song!!!

With all the controversy caused by Prince suing You-Tube, fan sites and basically the internet in general, he thought he make it up to his fans by releasing a new song, PFUnk. This is a ripper track, best in ages - why can't we get an album's worth of this???

Jungle Love

Jungle Love by ~xtj on deviantART

Finally got my first Deviation up.... joined up ages ago, but never had anything decent to put up. Been taking photos of my newly established garden, I absolutely love my little garden....

From the original photo, I enhanced it subtly... was after almost a watercolour vibe, with a touch of outline like Warhol's later prints.

I'm rather chuffed with the result.... hope you all enjoy it!

Pac-Gentleman!?!?!

This custom made toy by artist/sculptor Doktor A is a wondrous tribute to the classic arcade game, Pac-Man.

The good Doktor explains the Pac Gentleman game as follows:

“When this game was first released in 1880 it was so hugely popular in taverns and inns that the bank of England was forced to mint more threepenny bits to keep up with demand. The game was created by messrs Nam & Nam and Co. as a novelty pastime for the masses. Outdoing the previous top public house game of Shove Ha’penny. “

Love it! Completely brilliant!!!!

Dumberdore the Poof

As you all know by now, Dumbledore was outed by author JK Rowling. It makes sense... Dumbledore is all about unconditional love which is a very gay trait.... a poof has to get his head around society's conventions and learn to love the forbidden. The reaction has been absolutely huge.... from those who don't want to know 'cause it wasn't in the books, to those who think she is shoving the gay persona onto Dumbledore 'cause every modern story has to have a fag somewhere in the mix.... her actual quote was, "I've always thought of Dumbledore as gay," so if it bothers you so much, you could just think that she has a faulty gaydar....

On a lighter note, here's some Dumbledore Pride tees -- "Wizards are Gay" and "I Always Knew." Link

Andy Warhol Scent

Bond No.9, famous for capturing the scents of New York City, are teaming up with the Andy Warhol Foundation to create a collection of scents that capture Warhol's vision of New York.

The first of which is Silver Factory - named after Warhol's studio (also known as simply, The Factory) from 1964 to 1968. The package design takes influence from Warhol's Campbell's Soup screenprints as well as the silver-lined walls of The Factory itself.

“We were attracted to Bond No 9’s creative approach to luxury perfumery which celebrates New York City,” said Michael Hermann, director of licensing at The Andy Warhol Foundation. “Working with Bond No. 9 represents a unique, unexpected, and exciting opportunity to introduce Warhol to an ever-widening audience.”

The fragrance contains notes of Incense, Wood Resin, Amber, Jasmine, Iris, Violet and Cedarwood.
This is not the first Andy Warhol fragrance. Previous Warhol scents were created by Cofinluxe (known also for their Dali and Morgan fragrances) in the late nineties.

Andy Warhol Silver Factory will be available from December in Bond No.9 New York stores and Saks priced at $230 for 100ml.

For $230 it had better be brilliant!!!

Nad Shot is an incredibly funny blog that posts comic book panels of violent punches and kicks to the groin. Link

Kylie's 2 Hearts

Kylie's new single is out.... and I love it!!! Very glam, especially the film clip.... I can see why some people hate it, but I think it's a grower. Nice to see her try something different after the electro-pop of her last 3 albums.
