The Crowded Room is finally getting made, it seems. Joel Schumacher is going ahead with it. i remember this project from years ago (circa 1994?). and if i remember correctly Schumacher was the director attached; or was it Fincher? maybe Fincher. anyway, i'm pretty sure Brad Pitt was to play the lead in the film back then (or was it Leonardo?).
Marilyn Manson's gonna play the Queen of Hearts in an update of Alice in Wonderland; but more importantly, the newsbite lets a little gem escape -- Asia Argento's version of The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things is done! i'd heard she'd bought the rights a couple of years ago but hadn't heard a thing about it since. well, mr Manson is in it and they're calling it a low-budget indie. nice.
btw, i don't think i've seen a word of this on american media, and don't think it will get much play (understandably), but it's getting much play over here in canada on both french and english tv: about 17 countries were polled about the U.S. election. check out who most of the countries, including searing, damaging percentage votes for each candidates, would vote for. not a big surprise but damn amazing numbers. and a slap in the face if your a republican, ie. in denial about the whole thing and think this is only a popularity contest. not at these numbers.
