And just when you think a  movie about the creation of Facebook is strange. News is just in that Julian Jarrold, director of Becoming Jane and the remake of Brideshead Revisited, is in talks to direct a film charting the rise of Paul Potts. And who is Paul Potts? No, it’s not about the leader of Cambodia’s communist movement (now THAT would be an interesting film). Paul was the rather shy young man who wowed the audience of Britain’s Got Talent with this video of him singing an operatic aria. The clip has raked in millions of hits since it hit Youtube in 2007. Since then Paul has gone on to release two albums and has sold them in the millions.

But do we really need to see the story of this in movie form? The majority of winners of these .. Got Talent or.. Idol TV shows seem to end up as one-hit wonders, quickly releasing a record to cash in on the immediate success, and then swifly fading away into cabaret hell. And besides Potts’s rise to fame and fortune, is there really enough dramatic material to warrant 90 minutes? And even if there was, it seems almost futile to portray such backstories when our TV’s and PCs are already inundated with video clips and gap-filling retrospective shows, bringing us through the tabloid headlines covering their lives (and it’s not like this story will be new to a US audience, as in 2008 America’s Got Talent found their own Potts in Neal Boyd). Or will we be surprised by a film of Beckettian wit, in which a man stands in a  mobile-phone store for hours waiting for something to happen? It seems unlikely that a film of Potts would be anything more than a dull biopic, detailing the major facts of his life,  offering little more than a sadly excessive 15 minutes of fame, and deservedly ending up as a Saturday afternoon TV movie.

Kathy Pease (108) is the winner — congratulations!!! 

This is what she won: Criss Angel: The Most Dangerous Escapes DVD, Criss Angel Mindfreak: The Complete Season 4 DVD and an A&E t-shirt.

In his most daring season of “Criss Angel Mindfreak” to date, Criss Angel ups the ante by attempting five of the most dangerous demonstrations in magic. Each week he will attempt to defy the natural laws of science in new and innovative ways and will be challenged with a way to live… or a way to die. Each one-hour episode will feature a variety of different illusions and culminate in one grand, never-before-seen demonstration that will blow viewers minds.

The season premiere will be “White Death,” on Wednesday, August 12 at 10 PM ET/PT and the five episodes include: “White Death” – Criss takes the “Buried Alive” escape to an unprecedented level as he is shackled and placed in a transparent coffin that is buried in ice and snow. Will he escape or succumb to hypothermia, suffocation or the risk of the ground collapsing on top of him? “Death Field” – Criss is challenged to safely traverse a field of live explosives in less than five minutes where the risk for serious injury, if not death, is extremely high. “Terminal Velocity” – Criss attempts to teleport himself twice, first he drops an object from more than 250 feet above the Las Vegas strip and reach the bottom in time to catch it in one continuous camera shot. And in front of hundreds of spectators he attempts to vanish in mid-air and reappear in an impossible location. “Death Crash” – In his most death-defying illusion to date, Criss will hide in one of five coffins and the spectators, unaware of which coffin he has chosen, will send a merciless driver to smash the coffins into splinters. “Mass Levitation” – Criss takes levitation to new heights by levitating an entire Las Vegas crowd whose safety he is responsible for. This demonstration requires intense concentration, should he fail some will fall and face certain injury.
