Film ON AIR

We know Marvel is trying all it can to disconnect ‘The Incredible Hulk’ from the Ang Lee’s movie in 2003 – or should I say flop? But not only the marketing department is busy with distinguishing the new movie from ‘The Hulk,’ the creators are also pressuring the fact their movie is a totally fresh and original experience. Latino Review caught up with the director and producers of the new movie.

Director Louis Leterrier said, “I respect Ang’s movie tremendously and I love Ang’s movie. I just didn’t want to do the same thing. […] we have to all try together to make people understand that this is really not the sequel to the first movie, but it’s not a reboot of the first movie where you do the same thing.”

We all know Quentin Tarantino is working on his World War II movie ‘Inglorious Bastards,’ but nobody really knew when it was coming out. Now, the man himself wants it to be ready for Cannes 2009. “The next movie I’m doing is my World War II movie. I just finished up the first draft and if all goes well, I will be here, in Cannes, in 2009 with Inglorious Bastards!” The crowd went wild after that, leaving several people severely injured, I imagine.

But to be reasonable, he’s made a couple of remarks like this before. So I don’t think anybody is really expecting his new movie to be there at Cannes next year. In 2005 Tarantino said he had finished the script, but had to convert it to a ’shooting script.’

The first ‘Sex and the City: The Movie’ tracking numbers are in and they’re painting a mixed picture. I can’t remember the last movie that had this much buzz among the ladies. And I don’t recall girls paying thousands of dollars for a ticket to see ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ in 2006 either. But early tracking numbers are indicating a $30 million opening for ‘Sex and the City: The Movie,’ compared to a $27.53 million opening for ‘The Devil Wears Prada.’

It seems like a rather low number for the movie that was leading a poll by Moviefone with over 400,000 respondents. It beat last weekend’s ‘Indiana Jones 4′ by 1%, with 32% looking forward to see the TV series hit the big screen. But the numbers aren’t indicating the $100 million weekend Indy 4 had.

Ewan McGregor has signed to co-star in ‘Amelia,’ a biopic about Amelia Earhart. Hilary Swank and Richard Gere joined the movie last month and the crew already started filming in Toronto, Canada. Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and mysteriously disappeared in a flight to the Howland Island.

But the movie will focus on her early years and her affair with Gene Vidal, portrayed by McGregor. Below you can find the first production photos. ‘Amelia’ is targeting a Fall 2009 release.
