According to Variety, Reeves could eventually make more than $100 million from his journeys into The Matrix depending on how all three films do at the box office. Larry and Andy Wachowski, the writer/director team who created The Matrix, plan to shoot the two sequels back to back during a 250-day shoot that will start in fall 2000. Variety reports that the brothers will earn a combined $10 million for their work on the next two films. It's also considered likely that The Matrix co-stars Carrie-Anne Moss and Laurence Fishburne will be asked to reprise their roles in the sequels. -=> * <=- Star Wars: Episode I continued its overseas box-office rampage during the weekend of Aug. 21, setting new records in five more countries.

Officials here wants to snip part of an orgy scene in "Eyes Wide Shut" before it releases the dark sexual thriller to the general population. Distributor Warner Bros. has appealed the decision by Singapore's Films and Publications Department, saying it is under contract to show the movie in its entirety - or not at all. "We feel it would be a real waste if people don't get to see it here," Warner Bros. Singapore spokeswoman Li Sok Heng said Tuesday. Warner Bros. first submitted the film's European version, which contains full frontal nudity. When censors asked for cuts, Warner Bros. appealed and submitted an American version, which digitally masks the nude scenes. Censors haven't yet responded to the U.S. version. Singapore, a city-state known for its strict rules and conservative values, routinely censors or bans films, publications and TV programs. "I don't see any reason why they can't let this come in," said Dennis Yin, film critic for Inside Singapore magazine. "It's critically acclaimed. It's not a soft-porn flick." -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - Brad Pitt is in talks to star in "The Mexican" for producers Lawrence Bender and John Baldecchi. The project concerns a mobster who travels to Mexico to track down a cursed antique pistol. "The Mexican" script is currently out to directors. No start date has been confirmed. Pitt will shoot a pair of movies this fall: Columbia's ensemble heist picture "Diamonds" for director Guy Ritchie and indie comedy "Waking Up in Reno" for helmer James Gray. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - The "Star Wars" prequel topped $300 million, "South Park" shook up the United Kingdom, Australia embraced "Runaway Bride," Japan welcomed "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," and "The Mummy" revived a slumbering Italy. Those were the highlights of the weekend boxoffice abroad as the summer season neared its final flourish. Because of a Monday holiday in the U.K., complete official boxoffice results were unavailable and some of the reporting is based on estimates. The salty animated "South Park" unnerved some Brits - one school changed its name to evade identity with the film's vulgarity - but it didn't stop the Warner Bros. release from finishing first in the market with an estimated $2.3 million at 284 screens (including previews. The French opening is rated "very good" based on a $1 million take at 284 screens, fourth in the market in the weekend standings. Warners estimates the projected international cume to date, including the weekend, at about $8.5 million. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - Alicia Witt has joined the cast of "Cecil B. Demented" for director John Waters. Shooting begins on location in Baltimore in September. It tells the story of indie film director Cecil (Stephen Dorff) and his buddies, known as the Sprocket Holes, who kidnap a glamorous Hollywood actress (Melanie Griffith) and force her at gunpoint to star in their underground movie. Witt plays the director's girlfriend, Cherish, a porn actress who stars in the film the group is trying to make. In the end, Griffith's character, who goes by the name of Honey Whitlock, is transformed into a guerrilla filmmaking terrorist, and the Sprocket Holes become folk heroes and media icons. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - What's the best tip to give a valet? How about a movie deal? Disney has optioned an untitled pitch from former Beverly Hills Hotel valet Kirk Ward and his partner Charlie Santori for low-six figures. Ward and Santori subscribe to the popular belief of writing what they know: The idea centers on the hard-working men and women who park cars for a living. Ward recently left the service business to pursue an acting career. No screenwriter or other talent is attached.

Too often, it feels like a paint-by-numbers exercise, with Gooding and Ulrich mugging their way through a barely plausible plotline. It's watchable, if you like this sort of thing, but you'll do a lot better to go rent "Sorcerer," a largely overlooked thriller that really works.

Not even close, in fact. Basically, this is a movie about a kid who goofs off, screws up and smokes a lot of dope. Overall it feels like a bad episode of Fox TV's "That 70s Show," with more sex.

Meanwhile, dozens of other Canadian films will never make it across the border. Toronto is now host to one of the industry's most important festivals, with local talent faithfully showcased. But Canada still has no real identity or appeal for filmgoers in the United States. Many artists - Ivan Reitman, Jim Carrey, Dan Aykroyd - end up in Hollywood, and the few successful ones who stay behind - like Egoyan or David Cronenberg - are rarely thought of as Canadian. "When a Canadian film does come out in the states, it's just seen as some odd little independent film. 'Where does it come from?' They place it as an odd little film from America," said festival director Piers Handling. "Obviously, American films have conquered the marketplace. And there seems to be a lack of curiosity in the U.S. about other cultures." -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (AP) - Susan Sarandon is a flaky mom on the road, while Jodie Foster gets to know the king. Emily Watson pines in poverty, while Melanie Griffith goes loopy in the Deep South. A suicidal Winona Ryder gets shipped to the asylum, while Angelina Jolie plays detective doppelganger for a paralyzed male cop. The fall film season is at hand, and it promises an interesting crop of strong, eccentric female roles that range far beyond the Hollywood standard of women as "the girlfriend" or looking to land a man. But it's not necessarily a "to-die-for" season for women on screen. Rather, it's a continuation of a gradual move toward more films that present women as real, full-blown people, as opposed to eye candy for male leads. -=> * <=- VENICE, Italy (AP) - Venice may be the grand old lady of film festivals, but she showed her mettle Wednesday, opening with a jumbo jolt of Hollywood star power and sheer sex appeal: Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in "Eyes Wide Shut." The tale of a marriage rent by jealousy and sexual obsession is the final work of renowned director Stanley Kubrick. He died on March 7, just days after finishing the film. "Kubrick's movie showed us the way to go," said director Emir Kusturica, the head of the Venice jury. "He showed us that cinema is still art." As a special tribute to Kubrick, Venice is screening "Eyes Wide Shut" at all three of its 56-year-old festival's main venues. And audiences in Venice and elsewhere in Europe get to see the original version - without the digitally-added figures that obscured nudity in an orgy scene to appease the censors who rate films for American audiences. At a news conference before the premiere, Cruise, Kidman and producer Jan Harlan eulogized Kubrick as not only a great director, but also as a smart, sensitive, funny man. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - It's film festival season again. And perhaps the most anti-Hollywood of these events is the Telluride Film Festival, which opens Friday and features a David Lynch retrospective. Planners generally don't announce the lineup until the night before the festival. But attendees should expect a heavy concentration of Asian and Latin American films thanks to the preferences of the event's guest director: internationally acclaimed opera and theater director Peter Sellars. "(Sellars) brings a huge interest in the cinema of Asia and Latin America. These movies may not be new, but they are not well-known (in the United States)," said Tom Luddy, who shares festival directing chores with Bill Pence. Luddy, Pence and James Card founded the event 26 years ago. With attendance expected to hit 3,000-plus, the Telluride festival has gained a rep as a haven for film buffs. Nearly half of the event's program is dedicated to retrospectives and revivals, including silent films. -=> * <=- LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) - Apparently, those who discovered the lost "Blair Witch" film footage have been holding out on us. But starting Wednesday, Internet users can view what's being promoted as "newly discovered" footage belonging to the makers of hugely profitable Artisan release "The Blair Witch Project." It's all part of two movie-marketing schemes involving Amazon.com, the largest retailer on the Web.

He is also a dedicated family man with two children, and sings and writes songs with his brother. Yet, when you hear his name, does the 1984 film "Footloose" still come to mind? That's a typical reaction, said Bacon, who has mixed feelings about his breakthrough role as Ren McCormack, a city kid who moves to a small town where dancing has been outlawed. (One reviewer wrote: "Bacon's charisma sparks innocuous film.") "I'd like to be better known for something that I've done in the last 15 years. It would have been nice if something had taken its place," he said during an interview at a Manhattan hotel. "But by the same token, I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. It was an important movie for me." Since "Footloose," Bacon's two dozen film credits include "JFK," "A Few Good Men," "The River Wild" and "Apollo 13." He is most proud of "Murder in the First," a 1995 film that also starred Christian Slater, Gary Oldman and William H. Macy. His new film is "Stir of Echoes," a psychological thriller that follows Bacon on a supernatural journey after he is hypnotized at a neighborhood party. One thing that attracted Bacon to the role was director David Koepp's advice to view the part as a great character instead of a classic leading man.

There's no common cast-crew member. The imdb does a specific search for that that takes a few secs. I don't know about character names though. Two interesting things, one of which is not really link, the other is weak: Both Wes Craven's and Oliver Stone's wife were credited for working in each of their husband's movies, one as a small acting part, the other as some crew person. Not really a link. The other is that one actor, I think it may have been one of Costner's (as Jim Garrison) screen children, actually has the real life last name of Krueger. Funny. Unless it's the kid named Krueger, you'd just have to watch em both again (Ech for jfk) or else know some little trivia tidbit that you can't tell from the imdb.... - -----Original Message----- From: David F.

Thinking back I cannot remember a Johnny Depp film that did not have some merit in it somewhere. The good news about AW is that there was only one slow spot in it - the bad news is that it lasted well over 90 minutes. I have to fail this Rosemary's Baby wannabe. 13th Warrior however was a surprise hit! It's hard to imagine a John McTiernan (Die Hard) movie with Antonio Bendaras and based on a book by Michael Chrichton being called a surprise hit - but when you consider the fact that this film has been in post production for over a year! The film is wonderfully shot with gorgeous action scenes (and many of them!), authentic costumes and fine acting from a cast that looks like they belong there. I must say that I enjoyed this one quite a bit and will expect a lot of rebuttal for expressing my opinion thusly! A rousing 87% for this Viking romp.

This one focusses on the Falls - that is a pair of twins with tha last name of Falls. However these twins are also Siamese twins which at first, just as the story depicts, causes us to gawk in wonderment and then we ease into the characters as get to know them. They check into a hotel and call for a prostitute to make the creature with 3 backs I assume. When the prostitue arrives - they get more then they bargained for - that sounds like a movie poster tag line! Neat. Anyway - this movie is great but creepy and I would recommend it to those who want to unclutter their mind with the sensationalism of summertime and breathe in the aroma of some truly real characters. (Where do I get these sentences...?!) An 84% for originality and a touching tale.
