Time for another round-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/a> First, a reminder that I will be introducing Jesus of Montreal<\/a><\/i> at Granville Chapel this Sunday night.<\/p>\n

2.<\/a> Second, a reminder that the African female-circumcision movie Moolaad\u00e9<\/a><\/i> is now playing in Vancouver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3.<\/a> One of the things that has made Pixar so much better than all the other animation outfits out there is its devotion not just to technical brilliance, but to good stories. So it is with some sadness that animation buffs heard the news that the head of Pixar\u2019s story department, Joe Ranft, died in a car accident<\/a> last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

4.<\/a> The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i> has picked up the story about Cloud Ten\u2019s plan to release Left Behind III<\/a><\/i> on October 21 at thousands of churches, instead of theatres, as a \u201crevenue source\u201d.<\/p>\n

5.<\/a> The Globe and Mail<\/a><\/i> and the CBC<\/a> review Karla<\/a><\/i>, the true-crime movie that got yanked from a Montreal film festival due to pressure from a corporate sponsor.<\/p>\n

6.<\/a> October 18 is Batman day<\/a> \u2014 that is when Batman Begins<\/a><\/i> comes out on DVD<\/a>, plus Warner will release two-disc sets of the Burton and Schumacher films, plus<\/i> Sony will release Batman: The 1943 Serial Collection<\/a><\/i>, \u201ca two-disc set that features all 15 segments in the Caped Crusader\u2019s first screen appearance.\u201d Yippee!<\/p>\n

7.<\/a> Reuters<\/a> says there are three films about September 11 in development right now: Oliver Stone\u2019s working on one for Paramount, Paul Greengrass is working on one for Universal, and Columbia is developing one too.<\/p>\n

8.<\/a> The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i> says Kenneth Branagh<\/a> is preparing to direct an adaptation of Mozart\u2019s The Magic Flute<\/i> that he wrote with Stephen Fry.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
