Director's Cut experiment

If you've been regularly looking in at this page for the last week, you've seen me do some quick, 'mini-updates' about noteworthy scoops and/or information about movies. What I'm testing out is a place where I can get some ultra hot scoops or late-breaking information out to the readers (that'd be you.) That doesn't mean the information you read on here won't find it's way into the film's main CA pages because it will...but it also allows me the opportunity to break news on some projects or noteworthy items that don't really have a page to call their own yet. And as I said, it also may whet your appetite to checking that scoop's main film page to get more information about the project.

Let me know your thoughts on it. Do you want to see something like this on CA??

Which leads into my next important matter to address --

Overwheling scoops! ...the last month has seen a staggering amount of scoops submitted from everyone associated with films -- audience goers, extras, publicists, special effects designers, producers, directors, actors, agents...the list is astounding. Unfortunately (and without going into too much detail) the last couple of weeks have seen me stretched to my limits, and I've had to gauge my time between CA and three other very important assignments. With two of them out of the way, I'm able to increase my nightly sleep schedule by two hours (hey, I'm up to six now!) and, of course, add to the already-Encyclopedia Britannica size of CA. To the many scoopers who've taken the time to send me their information, whether it be the anonymous sender or the Hollywood executive, thank you for being patient. Your information will get up onto CA and some of it onto this page!

Alright, now to get down to business.

Where is Giger's name in Fox's Alien Resurrection?... Late last week we were contacted by the American agent of surrealist painter H.R. Giger, creator of the Alien design that won him an Oscar in 1980 and gave us new reason to fear the dark in Ridley Scott's original Alien. But with last weekend's release of Alien Resurrection, Giger's name was notoriously absent from the film's credits (unlike 1986's Aliens, which included a 'Original Alien Design By' credit.) CA is in the process of speaking to Giger's agent and possibly the artist himself and learning his side of the story. To learn more, visit .H.R. Giger's official site and keep watching this space.

DC's Camelot 3000 to make the leap from comics to film... Rights to the 1984 DC maxi-series, written by Mike W. Barr and drawn by Brian Bolland, were picked up by Michael Canton Jones, who's The Jackal was just recently released. For those unfamilar with the series, in the year 3000 when Earth most desperately needed salvation from the forces of an invading alien armada, the spirits of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin and the other knights of the round table (as well as Morgan le Fay) were resurrected into the bodies of ordinary citizens. The maxi-series (well, back then anything over 4 issues in length were called 'maxi-series') featured some ground-breaking plot devices for its time and the medium, including a same sex relationship. We may have come a long way since then, but it seems the popularity of blasting icky-looking aliens hasn't dwindled one Excalibur-length. No word on who's writing the script yet.
