Producer Dean Devlin comments on the Godzilla images

Contacting CA, Dean Devlin gave me his side of the story regarding the 5 images we've been running on the Godzilla page. The producer told us that the images were indeed fakes sent out to see where leaks originated; for his complete quote, check out the page in question.

So was I wrong? According to Devlin, this ain't the real McCoy, and if the producer of Godzilla tells me that I'll believe him. But will the false images still bear a resemblance to what we may see come May 20th? Was some of the info I've been receiving all coming from sources who've only seen the fakes? Will Godzilla marry Amanda or Kimberly, and if so, what will become of the rest of the renters in Melrose Place when they realize their complex was levelled in Godzilla's wake of destruction?? And who'll clean out the pool now? Can't wait for May 20th.

And actually, let me take a moment to recognize what Dean Devlin did. Not only did he take the time to answer the controversy on CA's Godzilla page, but from what I've read in the papers, he did so while still in New York City at the Toy Fair, where Godzilla merchandise was creating a huge wave of interest. Regardless of whether the real monster will sport wings or three eyes, the guy took the time out to talk to the audience, and for that I'd like to thank him. I've read about him and Roland Emmerich being as big fans of the movies as the crew who line up for the 'sneak peek' preview audiences, and this brings it home to me on a personal level. Very cool indeed, m'man, and much appreciated by the readers too.

(It just means I have to up the ante and get some top-rated spy surveillance goods into the CA arsenal...any readers out there work in black ops, write to me, 'k?)

Overheard by 'Pozzo' in L.A. at a studio that has a history with James Cameron...

Exec #1: "So what's Jim gonna be up to next?"
Exec #2: (whispered in husted tones)
Exec #1: "Really? Planet of the Apes?"
Exec #2: "Yeah, and (whispers again)..."
Exec #1: "Gee...you'd think he's learn not to star in remakes after Sabrina was such a bomb!"

So either: a) the rumors that Harrison Ford is thinking of starring in the Cameron produced Apes movie is true or b) it's fallout from the AICN report posted a few days ago, or c) if you're a studio exec, you better start sweeping your office for bugs.

Digital appetizers...

...In an interview with the online site Entertainment Asylum, Mark Hamill revealed that his son, Nathan Hamill, will cameo in Star Wars, Episode One...

Eyes Wide Shut now has a tentative release date of November 28, 1998. In other news, Hell has been approved as the next expansion slot for the NHL, and will host the 2006 winter Olympics.

The production name for Star Wars, Episode One is JAK Productions. According to one person, Lucas named it after the three leading characters: (J)ar Jar, (A)nakin and (K)enobi. I like the rumor that it's named after Lucas' kids better, though...

Thanks to those who've sent in some goodies...

I'll be posting up the news and pics in the coming couple of weeks, so hang tight. Right now I've got a writing deadline to try and wrangle down, and I'm working on trying to fit in Valentine's Day this weekend. Note to the person who sent me the prop: interesting, but I dunno if it's fit for public viewing...
