Caffeinated Clint
Big thanks to Adam Weeks for doing the Mailbag last week. Well, my paper cuts have healed since we last did this – so let’s rip, lick, stick and trip into the weekly rant again.
Hey Clint
Any news on how "Candy" is shaping up? Is there a release date yet?
Anne
Anne,
Not so good apparently – they’ve discovered that it rots your teeth and makes you hands all sticky. Unless of course, you mean the movie, which apparently is going good. One of the co-stars, Damon Herriman, tells us: “It’s a really terrific script and I think with Neil [Armfield] at the helm and the amazing cast he’s pulled together it should be something quite special”. No set release date yet.
Clint,
Hey man, just curious to see if you know anything about George Romero getting a sequel to ‘Land of the Dead’ made? It didn’t open all that hot at the box office, but it did make back its budget and then some, so it’s hard to tell. Hopefully he’ll get that going. Oh and one last question, when do you think there will be a trailer for the remake of ‘The Fog’? Thanks for your time bro.
Seth
Seth,
I wanted to speak to you actually – why did you choose Summer over the comic? With the money you could’ve made from that baby, you could’ve bought a dozen little Wonder-Women. Anyway, “Land of the Dead” will probably spawn a sequel – but can’t say when, and can’t say that it’ll get a theatrical. Romero told DVD IGN recently that “If this [Land] opens strong, I might be in a situation where I might have to do another one of these or would be asked to do another one of these right away, in which case I’ve sort of left the [story open-ended]." But since it didn’t open strong, don’t watch this space for a prompt update. As for your “Fog” trailer – point your little arrow here.
G’day Clint,
Okey dokey, Who is this mystery women you select as Wonder Women does she have a name?
Smurf
Smurf,
I presume you’re referring to Morena Baccarin [“Firelfy”] and not my wife?
God no, don’t let Cameron Diaz become “Wonder Woman”. Give us at least one good female superhero movie!
Andy
Andy,
Um, "Brenda Starr"?
Hey Clint,
Do you know what is going on with the movie "Hell Ride" I haven’t heard any updates on it for a while. All I know is that QT has a starring role in it.
Winston
Winston,
Since Tarantino likes to take his time between movies, I’d say it’s still a couple of years away. But since he’s only producing, and not directing – it might be sooner. At the moment, it’s not even in pre-production yet. For the uninitiated, the film is by Larry Bishop and “deals with the characters Pistolero (Larry Bishop), the Gent (Michael Madsen) and Comanche (Quentin Tarantino) and the deadly unfinished business among them”.
While back there were talks of horror icons, Wes Craven, John Carpenter, etc., developing movie channel devoted to horror movies. What ever happened to that? Is it going to happen?
Thanks!
Kincade
Kincade,
It’s done, coming, ready to air. One Url : this one.
Do you know if the polar express will be coming out with a 3-d version when it hits DVD in November?
Erik
Erik,
If I can’t have my “Showgirls 3-D” DVD then you can’t have your “Polar Express 3-D” DVD. Um, in other words, nope – standard version.
Hi,
It was announced on here a while ago that they were making “Lake Placid 2” and “Hollow Man 2”, is there any more information on them and are they really happening?
Thanks,
Nathan
Nathan,
I believe the “Lake Placid 2” rumour was, well, a ‘Croc’, but there is truth to the “Hollow Man 2” whisper. Good friend Joel Soisson is writing the Kevin Bacon-less sequel, which reportedly revolves around a Seattle detective and a biologist who are on the run from a dangerous invisible assassin gone rogue as well as the government forces that created him. I smell direct to video.
Just recently, the Australian Office of Film & Literature Classification decided to alter the classification markings on our DVD releases. I, and many others, agree that the new markings sacrifice the artistic integrity of DVD cover art. I have started a petition that will be submitted to the OFLC, and was hoping that perhaps you could put a link to the petition on your site?
Thanks!,
Mike
Nope,
No free plugs for good causes here.
Clint,
I so wanna look like Jessica Alba? How did she get so fit and funky, and beautiful?
Sara
Sara,
Believe it or not, Jessica has been working out and eating healthy since the age of twelve. When most of her friends were feeding on McDonalds or downing milkshakes, Alba was eating an apple, drinking bottled water and running around the school oval. One source reports Jessica Alba hBegas been on a diet since the age of 12. Jessica said, "Everyone in my family is heavily overweight. I wanted to be healthier, so I started cooking for myself when I was 12 years old. When I eat breakfast, I’ll have an egg-white omelette and fruit, or cottage cheese and a peach. For lunch, I’ll have a salad. Dinner is usually vegetables and chicken or fish. During the day I’ll have some dried fruit, or I’ll have a chocolate or strawberry frozen yoghurt. I don’t really eat desserts or bread." Alba is just as good now. "I try to work out every day for 45 minutes to an hour. I start out on the treadmills or elliptical machine for 10 to 15 minutes to get my heart rate up to 180 beats per minute. Then I do 50 lunges and crunches. Next I get back on the machine for another 10 minutes. Then I work on shoulders, biceps and triceps. I do that non-stop for four sets. When I work out, I have energy and feel good about myself." Of course, the difference is – she can afford a personal trainer.
Dear Dirs,
Where can I get "one perfect day"(au) dvd? I am looking for it for a long time!

Gregor,

Could you tell me if the TV movie "The Shiralee" is available in Canada or the US on DVD or VHS. I have been only able to find it as an Australian DVD/VHS.
Lisa
Lisa,
Has the “Shiralee” fan-club just started up again? No one tipped me off! As for your request, it seems like you’re out of luck. You might have to move to Australia.
Clint,
Australia or America?
Hannie
Hannie,
Um, neither. New Zealand’s to blame for Russell Crowe
