DAN'S   MOVIE   DIGEST

I s s u e   # 3 4

1 4   M a r c h   2 0 0 3

Despite rumours that Danny Elfman (Batman) has taken over as composer, original choice Marco Beltrami is going ahead. His 80+ minute score will be done next week using an orchestra of 96 players and a choir. Reportedly, director Jonathan Mostow and the producers are very excited about elements of the score they have heard so far.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

'Screen Daily' reports that Johnny Knoxville (Jackass) has joined the cast of Around The World In 80 Days alongside Steve Coogan, Jackie Chan and Jim Broadbent. The $100 million film starts shooting in a few weeks time in Thailand and Berlin.

CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON

Screenwriter Tedi Sarafian is to pen the remake of The Creature From the Black Lagoon, reports 'Variety'. Ross' father, Arthur Ross, wrote the script to the original 1954 creature feature, which looks likely to be remake by Guillermo Del Toro after he finished filming Hellboy.

Sarafian previously rewrote Terminator 3, and his draft was considered a major factor in getting Arnold Schwarzenneger to return to the franchise sans James Cameron.

CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK

Vin Diesel spoke with 'Sci-Fi Wire' about The Chronicles Of Riddick, saying: "[I've been] creating creature characteristics and attributes you won't see until scene two or scene three and researching on the Internet to explain negative matter: where these villains come from, these Necromongers. [We have to explain] their scientific existence. We're going to create this huge universe. And I'm excited about exploring this character's purpose in this universe and what his whole deal is."

JOHN LENNON

Eric Bana (Chopper) talked with 'The Melbourne Star' recently about his upcoming work in Hulk and Troy, then about future work, saying: "I have spoken to a few directors in America about doing a John Lennon biopic."
"I have spoken to Oliver Stone and Ang Lee about it, and I am working on a script with a British writer. Really, it's up to the estate of John Lennon to decide whether it will get made or not, and then one of the Hollywood studios to fund it, so I will have to brush up on a convincing Liverpool accent."

"The movie will centre on the last 10 years of Lennon's life, partly because I think it would be unwise for me to grow a mop top at my age, and because those years are generally unknown to the masses and very interesting. I hope it goes ahead because this is a dream project. This will be my Raging Bull."

KING ARTHUR

'Disney' has cast Clive Owen (Croupier) as King Arthur and is in talks with British actor Stephen Dillane to co-star as Merlin in the new Jerry Bruckheimer-produced version of the Dark Ages legend.

The project will be directed by Training Day helmer Antoine Fuqua and is a demystified take on the tale of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table and promises a more realistic portrayal of Arthur than has ever been presented onscreen.

MIGHTY MOUSE

'Paramount Pictures' has tapped Maurice Chauvet and Christopher Vail to write a script for a CGI version of Mighty Mouse for 'Nickelodeon Films', says 'Variety'. The film is described as an action-comedy-adventure.

Mighty Mouse's producers will be John Woo and producing partner Terence Chang, along with 'Nick Film' executives Albie Hecht and Julia Pistor. Barry Jackson will provide concept design work with Nick performing the animation work in-house.

THE MUMMY III

'PageSix' reports that Universal is interested in developing a third The Mummy movie - but without Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.

The latest concept seems to involve Imhotep being reawoken "in contemporary times, with new stars" according to star Arnold Vosloo, who added "taking the story to a different time would open up all new possibilities. It could even be set in the 1950's or 60's - whenever the Mummy wakes up."

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

The 'Chicago Sun-Times' talked with director Joel Schumacher about his involvement with the Phantom Of The Opera movie. He stated that "Antonio [Banderas] is not doing this version. I haven't cast yet, but I want to go younger. Maybe Antonio was part of a past project. He was in Evita and Andrew loves him, but he's not my Phantom."

"[And] not Leo [DiCaprio]. He's a little young for Phantom, but someone young. The hard thing is that the leads have to sing and act. The other interesting element is you don't see the face under the Phantom mask. He's always in makeup. So, I could cast anyone."

Schumacher though is treating the movie with a dose of caution: "Chicago is popular, not movie musicals. I don't think it will last as a film trend. The good thing for me is that Phantom is its own house brand... I'm a little scared to do this project, but if you're not a little scared, then you're doing the wrong movie. If you think you can phone it in, then God has a very wicked surprise for you. It's good to be scared and not cocky."

SUPERMAN

'Entertainment Weekly' spoke to actor Matthew Bomer's manager about his chances for the role of Superman. Bomer said: "[Director] Brett Ratner liked him, plain and simple. He thought he was a terrific actor and told him if Warner started testing unknowns, he'd be considered."

Also, Jerry O'Connell (Sliders) has spoken out to 'E! Online' about his rumoured casting as the Superman, saying: "Yeah, I'm definitely right in there. There is some stiff competition, but I guarantee you I can do more push-ups than all those other guys. There are guys in front of me that have nominations. The only thing I've been nominated for is best attendance for physical education in junior high. Whether it happens or not, I'm in this business for the long haul. I know for a fact that I look good in blue Spandex. If it doesn't happen, Space Ghost is always an option".

O'Connell may have one advantage - director Brett Ratner was O'Connell's senior advisor when he was a freshman at New York University!

In related news, Selma Blair has indicated she wants to screen-test for the role of Lois Lane. Talking to 'MTV' she said "I would die to be Lois Lane! And that's something I'm fighting tooth and nail for. But they will be shooting it at the same time as Hellboy, so it's going to be a struggle."

Finally, some insider gossip on the current state of the costume for Supes. It has no cape (yet!), is primarily blue, and the "S" symbol has a black background (not yellow).
