Movie Minesweeper - The Blue And Red Marker Pens Edition

- Cartoon Brew have linked to an interesting video. An abandoned cave in Cody, Montana apparently bears the signature of Walt Disney. Could it really be real?

- Amy Pascal at Sony is softening us up for the future of the Spider-Man franchise: stand alone narratives with different creatives and, every now and then, a new actor in the lead. Spider-Man 4 is to be the On Her Majesty's Secret Service of the series, I suppose.

- Regal Cinema's Complain-o-tron is finally going wide.

- Mark Verheiden has the job of writing a Teen Titans movie. Who do you get to direct that? Not Victor Salva, obviously... but who?

- The remake of Midnight is to be written by Michael Arndt and will star Reese Witherspoon in the Claudette Colbert role. The original is really very, very, very good so, of course, I'm nervous about this but, well, Arndt and Witherspoon? Seems to be working out very well so far.

- After finishing Sugar, Ryan Fleck will adapt Special Topics in Calamity Physics from Marisha Pessl's novel. He's also attached to an adatation of Ned Vizzini's It's Kind of a Funny Story. I really have to track down Half Nelson and see if all of this is something to get excited about or not.

- The Weinsteins are to release Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream. It was looking pretty hairy for the film for a while with no buyers stepping up (or at least, not as far as anybody knew) but at least it should get a decent release now.

- The remake of The Women is finally set to go ahead. I'm quite disappointed Todd Haynes isn't directing, but fingers crossed for Diane English anyway, despite her suspicious cast list: Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Anette Bening, Candace Bergen and Debra Messing.

Famous People's Favourite Films

Josh Porro from the AFI sent me a link to their YouTube channel where clip after clip of famous folk can be seen. In each case, the celebrity tells us which film is their favourite of all time.

Less than 200 people have clicked to see which film is Ed Zwick's choice, just over 200 for Larry Charles' perference - but over 3000 have clicked for Paul Dano, over 6000 for Greg Kinnear. I was very intrigued what Charles might say - he was my first click - and, almost inevitably, I was disappointed.

Katee Sackhoff pretty much cops out, but in the closing seconds plumps for a recent film, while Ryan Fleck at least manages to name a great film. This is interesting stuff... maybe not any more interesting if these were random members of the public, but interesting nonetheless.

Is it imagined that the young and 'attractive' have a more interesting taste in movies? Or are people simply clicking to see their pin-ups lips in motion, words tumbling out?

Josh, if you're reading this, what do I have to do to get my clip on your page?
