Movie Minesweeper - The Volumatic Spacer Device Edition

- You can watch Four Eyed Monsters online now, for free. For every viewer to register, the filmmakers receive a dollar. 'Only' 100,000 viewers will cover the film's budget.

- Brett Ratner is to direct Playboy, a Hugh Hefner biopic. Hilarious. For a long time, Oliver Stone was attached, but not any more. Even more hilarious.

- Laura Albert has lost her law suit with Antidote. To cut the long story short: Albert was the author of the books allegedly written by J T LeRoy, and she was only unveiled once LeRoy was shown not to exist. Antidote had optioned Albert's book Sarah, believing it to be a memoir, not complete and utter fiction, and once the curtain was pulled back they had no interest in the film any longer and let their option expire. They've now been awarded 116,500 dollars in this fraud suit.

Movie Minesweeper - The What's For Dinner? Edition

- Wade Shotter takes on Michel Gondry at his own game... and comes out ahead in several distinct ways.

- According to the LA Times, Kevin Smith's new comedy is to be called Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I Want More Candy, if you will. Or The Other Amateurs. Shooting will start in February and the film will feature nudity - "but funny nudity, not gratuitous nudity." Can you 'indulge' and laugh at the same time? I guess we'll find out late next year.

- Al Pacino might just possibly play Napoleon in a movie. But probably not.

- Spike Lee is looking to adapt James McBride's book Miracle at St. Anna. It's a story about black World War 2 soldiers, to be shot in Italy.

- DavisDVD have listed a whole slew of upcoming direct-to-DVD titles: Wrong Turn 2: Dead End, Bachelor Party 2, Garfield Gets Real, Lake Placid 2, Stargate: The Ark of Truth, Stargate: Continuum, Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak On a Plane, Bring It On: In It To Win It, Curious George 2: Monkey On The Run, Return To House On Haunted Hill, A Dennis the Menace Christmas, The Lost Boys 2, Get Smarter: Bruce and Lloyd Out Of Control and sequels for 8 Seconds, Cellular, Friday, Havoc, The Players Club and Undisputed.
