Trailer: Ridley Scott Cobbles Together the World’s Home Videos For Life in a Day

Last summer, Ridley Scott and Last King of Scotland director Kevin McDonald teamed up with YouTube for a “historic global experiment” that would work like this: You send them some video of your activities on July 24, 2010 (a Saturday) and they would edit the best footage into a documentary film about the world’s events that day, credit you as a co-director and premiere it at the Sundance Film Festival under the title Life in a Day . Finally, the trailer has arrived. Let’s take a look!

Would Jennifer Egan’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning A Visit From the Goon Squad Make a Good Movie?

Earlier today, Brooklyn author Jennifer Egan was awarded the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for A Visit From the Goon Squad . Set in New York City (mostly), Egan’s non-linear novel follows a cast of aging, self-destructive characters involved in or around the music industry and has been celebrated by Publishers Weekly , the New York Times and many other literary outlets. Now, Movieline wonders whether Goon Squad should follow in the footsteps of other Pulitzer Prize-winning novels like The Color Purple , The Hours and The Road and be adapted for the big screen.

The Writer of Elektra And Inspector Gadget Calls Spider-Man ‘Cheesy’

Speaking to Coming Soon, Zak Penn, the man who gave us Last Action Hero , Elektra and the third X-Men movie, claims that, for all his comic book movie credits, the only hero he didn’t want was Spider-Man. “Actually Spider-Man was one of the only ones I didn’t want to do because I thought it was a little too cheesy.” Again, that’s the visionary who wrote the virtually unwatchable Elektra , which features a resurrected assassin who has OCD, crapping on two of the best superhero movies ever made (we’ll ignore the studio-driven mess of the third). Glass house? Blackened pot? Willfully obtuse? I can’t figure out which one best suits him. [ Coming Soon ]
