New Image from Power of The Dark Crystal...
The "Book of Habidad" (a fan site devoted to The Dark Crystal) has a still image of Kira, as she appears in the new film... http://habidabad.com/news.htm As a fan of the film, I'm encouraged -- at least it looks like the visual style from the original film is being retained. And IMDB lists...

Re: HARRY POTTER & ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Press Release

Re: POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL Announces Director...
Actually, the Dark Crystal LP credited "Orchestration by Trevor Jones, Peter Knight and John Coleman". Unlike *too many* composers these days, Jones is fully capable of orchestrating himself. He studied composition and orchetration at the Royal Academy of Music. Even when working with comp...

Re: POWER OF THE DARK CRYSTAL Announces Director...
Any word on whether Trevor Jones is coming back? His score was one of the most important elements of the original Drak Crystal (and still arguably his best score).

Ken Russell is still at it (sort of)...
Ken Russell, the sometimes-compelling (but often kooky) British director is, at the age of 78, still busily making films. However, the director of Mahler and Altered States is now self-financing them (one cost £100) and distributing them online. Acording to The Guardian: Future of film is on the net...

Adrian Biddle, BSC, dead at 53
I just found-out that ALIENS lighting cameraman Adrian Biddle died -- last week.
Did anyone else hear about this? I'm surprised this story has not been more widely circulated.

The New World was great!
I saw this film last night. I have not seen any of Terrence Malick's other films, but I mostly wanted to see it because I am intrested in the time period, as well as Native American cultures. I thought it was great. Leisurely-paced to be sure, and not made in a typical "Hollywood" fashion....

Re: INDY 4: Ford Gives a Deadline?
I agree with Harrison -- it's time to make it or forget it, before everyone is getting social security. The other thing is...when will this next Indy adventure take place? Both Connery and Ford (depite the hair color) are looking a little long in the tooth. It would have to be quite some time after...

Re: TRISTAN & ISOLDE
Very few reviews available for this Ridley Scott-produced pet project, which opens wide from Fox on Friday. I can't assume that's a good sign (or the mere fact that it's being released on January 13th), though the story line is intriguing and Kevin Reynolds -- for all his faults -- usually makes an...

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha reactions
I don't know many people who even know who Toru Takemitsu is! I have a soundtrack collector friend who once referred to Takemitsu as "that Chinese guy"! :shock: Takemitsu was an extraordinary composer, with an amazingly versatile range. Ran, Woman in the Dunes, Rikiyu, Rising Sun, Glowing...

Re: Memoirs of a Geisha reactions
The acting is strong and Williams' music works in the film but again, it seems "Americanized"- it's like I want a Toru Takemitsu score and I know I'm not going to get it. I've not yet seen seen/heard the score, but I know the feeling (I went thru this on Last Samurai). Takemitsu was one o...

I think if Tobe Hooper was the director of Poltergeist, I suspect his role was akin to that of Irvin Kershner on Empire Strikes Back, or Richard Marquand on Return of the Jedi -- in essence following the lead of a very hands-on writer/producer and executing that producer's vision. I know that Jerry ...
