Chan-Wook Park talks future projects!:
Old Boy has become one of my all time favorite flicks and I'm looking forward to see new masterpieces of the South-Korean director. Chan-Wook Park finished his work
on the third revenge film Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and plans to do some other interesting new projects. Check this out:
"The script for Lady Vengeance was completed very quickly, if not as quickly as that of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Now, I am working on two scripts at the same time. But it is natural that I have more energy and passion than when I was making my first few films. Kids practice the piano more fiercely or draw paintings more energetically when they are praised. I am like that. Don't all artists have some childlike aspects?
One of my next projects is about a delusional girl who thinks she is a combat cyborg and is hospitalized in a mental institution. She falls in love with a boy she meets there. It is a teen romantic comedy with a lot of fantasy scenes. Other than that, I am working on a vampire movie. About English language movies, my present thought is, it's not that I've decided not to make one someday, but I have no plans to do so just now."

Superman Returns update:
My God, a new Superman Returns video journal is now online that covers Bryan Singer's trip to Comic Con. The clip includes the footage that was shown at
the convention and its pretty amazing. Click on the pic below to download.
Other Man of Steel news, composer/editor John Ottman talked to Superman Homepage about the film's score. Ottman will use
only the main theme, which was composed by John Williams: "We tried out the Lois Lane theme (Can you read my mind), and, don't get me wrong, its a GREAT theme, but the feel of that theme over this contemporary film, it's gagging, and it's awful. It just seemed stupid. So I'm hoping that we don't have to do that. Just for the moment we're actualy temping with (the score from) 'Solaris'. It works really well, and more of it's kind of modern, so the film can go with it. Its important that the film goes somewhere without trying too hard to pay homage to the past. So to answer your question, besides the fanfare, the score will be original."
Awesome, hit the link for the rest of interview.

Patrick Stewart talks X-Men 3:
Patrick "Professor Xavier" Stewart talked about the third X-Men film, which started shooting last week.
"It's wonderful," Stewart said, "Already some amazing things have been put in the can, some surprises, including one surprise which will never even appear in a script form. We've just shot it. It's so secret, that there was never, ever allowed anything to be on paper about it.
I think Brett Ratner is going to do a fantastic job on this movie. He's an extraordinary, gifted man, and I think the perfect choice to direct X3. We miss Bryan Singer, of course, because this is the man that launched this franchise so outstandingly."
