Teaser Footage For Charlie Wilson's War

ET are going to show the trailer for Charlie Wilson's War this Tuesday, and to hype it, they've trailered the trailer, giving us our first look at footage from the film. I've got high hopes for this one.

Quiz This Redux

The last Quiz This games were quite popular, so here's another one for you. There's nothing to win but pride and glory.

Which filmmaker has collaborated with Mike Nichols, Mark Romanek, James Cameron, Steven Soderbergh and Gary Ross in the same type of endeavour; and what is this particular endeavour?

Answers/guesses in the comments below. And yes, it is kind of a trick question. Sort of.

Abrams' Bad Karma

Brett Love at TV Squad has had a look at J J Abrams' lousy track record - at least as far as TV is concerned - and shared his findings. I'm not qualified to discuss the financial returns of his cinematic offerings, and the currently glitching search function at Box office Mojo isn't helping either, but I could chip in just a little on the quality of his films.

Abrams does okay, most of the time. He's a better writer than he is a director, that's for sure - but the same is true of Joss Whedon, and he doesn't get criticised much round here, I have to admit. To be honest, the quality of films written by Abrams' is pretty much in keeping with what you'd expect from their respective directors.

For example, Mike Nichols' Regarding Henry isn't bad at all, and neither is John Dahl's Joy Ride/Roadkill, but Steve Miner's Forever Young is really quite awful.

This might suggest that Bad Robot need to hire some stronger directors for their TV shows, but of course, the hierarchies and power structures on a weekly hourlong and a feature film are so different, that argument wouldn't hold much water. Maybe then, the next logical argument, is to suggest these power structures change too.

Pipedream, I know.
