Terry Gilliammay not be making that second take onThe Man Who Killed Don Quixoteafter all, but don’t think he isn’t busy. He’s already done a webcast with the Arcade Fire this year, and made that strange NASCAR-themed short film,The Legend of Hallowdega.
Now he’s got another short planned that will go before cameras early in 2011. Details onThe Wholly Family, after the break.
Many of you probably have seen the 2007 documentaryThe King of Kong(and if you haven’t, Netflix it now!). The movie follows the battle betweenSteve Wiebeand noted Donkey Kong/vintage video game championBilly Mitchell, over the world record for Donkey Kong. Since the release of the film, it has been fun tracking the back and fourth battle between Wiebe and Mitchell for the world record (Steve Wieberecently reclaimed the Donkey Kong World Record fromBilly Mitchell).
Billy Mitchell makes a great villain, but everyone knows that there have beenaccusations of selective editing and what not.Moviefonehas caught up with Billy Mitchell to talk about the lessons he learned from taking part in The King of Kong. Watch the video interview now embedded after the jump.
The firstGreen Lanterntrailer only showed glimpses of some of the all-CGI characters that will make up part of the interstellar Green Lantern Corps. We see a great shot of the massive Kilowog, and one medium shot and a couple long shot looks at the bird/fish/thing Tomar-Re. Most of the characters look good in that brief context, but I think a lot of people want to see more. So here’s a new shot of Tomar-Re that shows him dead-on, and in some good detail.
The east coast blizzard has a lot of residents comparing the landscape to Star Wars’ snow and ice planet Hoth. As an extension of that idea, Williamsburg, Brooklyn resident Henry Hargreaves decided to edit Star Wars characters into photos of his snow covered neighborhood.
Since his‘comeback’ inThe Wrestler,Mickey Rourke‘s career has been an unusual one, to say the least. High-profile fare likeIron Man 2andThe Expendableshas been balanced with duds likeKillshot(filmed beforeThe Wrestler) andPassion Play.
But one project on Rourke’s horizon sounds interesting— he says he’s set to playGareth Thomas, the Welsh rugby player who made headlines not long ago when he came out of the closet, becoming whatSports Illustratedcalled in May 2010“the only openly gay male athlete.” (At least in a major professional team sport.)
