Still in development hell ?

With all the news and postings regarding the predictions that have or have not become real, based on Back to the Future Part II, we might almost forget that Zemeckis and Spielberg have teamed up for another project that screams for a sequel. In 1988 they formed an alliance with the Disney-Studio's to show the world what might happen when the world of toons crashes with that of live-action characters in Who Framed Roger Rabbit ?.

Despite it's box-office success (a worldwide gross of almost $400 million and the single most successful film in it's year of release (Rain Man being number 1)), we have yet to see the sequel on the big screen.

Almost 2 years ago Gary K. Wolf (author of the Roger Rabbit-stories) gave it another attempt and delivered a script called The Scrooge in which Roger co-stars with Mickey Mouse. Despite the initial positive response, there hasn't been much action on translating the idea into a feature just yet, but with the Marvel- and Star Wars lines firmly installed, maybe now it will be time for Roger to re-appear (of course there is also that famous archaeologist who wants to have another adventure). Zemeckis is still positive about it and hopefully Spielberg has some spare time too.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
