Jonathan Frakes talks Thundebirds:
Jonathan Frakes talked to Scifi wire about his latest film Thunderbirds. He directed an entertaining film for the whole family with
lots of "wow" moments... yeah right, check it out:
"It's a coming-of-age story. There are three kids at the center of it, so it's a story of friendship and loyalty, fathers and sons and coming of age.
I think the adults will love the scenes between Lady Penelope [Sophia Myles, as the Tracy's super-hip and gorgeous partner,] and Parker [Ron Cook, as Penelope's chauffeur and butler]. Their scenes have some great, ironic double-entendre comedy. The kids will love the takeoffs of the ships, because they shake the seats and the palm trees separate. And I'll go out on a limb here and say little girls will love Tin-Tin [Vanessa Anne Hudgens, as one of Alan's adventurous friends], who kicks ass and saves the day. So I wouldn't say there's a single set piece that will wow people. I'd say that we have several 'wow' moments; that they're for different people; and that they're spread out rather nicely across the film."
I'd rather see an R-rated Thunderbirds film... The movie opens on July 30.

Star Wars Episode III update:
The official Star Wars site posted another update about Episode III.
Producer Rick McCallum revealed more about the main villain General Grievous:
Grievous has yet to make an appearance in a finished Episode III shot. That's not to say the computer-generated character isn't getting a workout. Already, animation of Grievous and Obi-Wan Kenobi engaged in a bare-knuckle brawl (if something with metallic fingers can be said to be bare-knuckled) is being developed and approved. Producer Rick McCallum says "There's still work left to do on him before we can add him to shots. It's not until we have a voice for him and can record a guide track for him next month that we can really start animating his character"."
Meanwhile the much-reported-on epic opening shot - OSB10 - was shown to George Lucas for approval the other week. The shot involves starfighters twisting between a pair of massive capital ships. OSB010 now joins dozens of other OSB shots already approved as the opening sequence of the movie shapes up. The Trade Federation vulture droids will be seen to turn, fold and transform on screen - a functionality incorporated into their design years ago for Episode I, but something we have yet to see on the big screen.

Marlon Brando dies at 80:
I was introduced to Marlon Brando when I saw Superman the Movie, I was just a little kid but his
performance made a huge impact on me. I never saw his first movies like A Streetcar Named Desire
and On the Waterfront but The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and of course Superman
are in the top ten of my all time favorites. Mr. Brando was a legend, he'll be missed.

Willem Dafoe talks xXx2:
Willem Dafoe (Spider-man) talked about his role in xXx: State of the Union, the sequel sans Diesel.
Lee Tamahori directed the action packed flick, the cast includes Ice Cube, Scott Speedman and Samuel L. Jackson.
Willem Dafoe will play a four-star general who is also secretary of state. Here's what he had to say about
the action and doing his own stunts!:
"I'll be doing some action stuff, kicking and punching. I think I know how to do that. I like doing [stunts], unless it's a skill that I can't learn quickly, like car stuff. I've got no pride in that. That doesn't matter. But when I see a stunt guy do anything that I should do, it's like someone doing the scene for you, because the physical stuff so roots everything else that it freaks me out. If I see, for instance, in post [production] that they didn't bring me back [for a simple shot], so they hire a some guy dressed in my costume walking away, I'll say, 'That is not my walk. That is not my ass.' It's all part of it. So I think it's important to do that."
Cool, I love this guy!
