Resurrecting the Movies thread...

Thanks, Gil. Looks like another good film year coming up.
BTW, I saw U-Carmen eKhayelitsha on a plane; it featured the fiercest Carmen I've ever seen!
And, Queen of the Desert is a fascinating biography, and should make a good film.

I can't believe they made a movie out of that god-awful book. LOL

Oh, I can believe they made a movie out of a god-awful book that sells eight gazillion copies.

You bet! It's gonna make a shit-load of money.
I wish I owned a piece of it! :laugh:
Or, at least, somebody expects it's gonna make a shit-load of money. ;D

These are the ones I'm really looking forward to. In addition, a new version of Frankenstein and a Johnny Depp film called Mortdecai.

about a student journalist who interviews a rich businessman"

haha, they're referring to 50 Shades of here. I recall that taking on this film changed the whole structure of Focus Features and didn't James Schamus suddenly exit right in the middle of it? Plus, doing 50SOG meant that FF couldn't take on the indie films it was previously noted for. It was a sad business and I definitely plan to boycott 50SOG because of it!
