I wonder how this movie will do at the box office with a predominately tween audience. The story is full of action, romance and conflict, but it’s not for the younger kids.

The voiceover says, “This year…,” so we are getting the International trailer a little early with the July 2009 release date. You’ll notice new footage such as the upbeat moments, romance, magic, darkness and lots of fire.

Congratulations to Aya, Post #88, and Rose Roberts, Post #125, you both won “Blindness” book.
The movie Blindness is based on Jose Saramago’s book “Blindness.” The story allows the readers to embrace the idea of humanity for those who are forced to rely on each other when their sight has left them. The blindness is a while glare, which results in chaos, degradation and lack of civility.
I have two copies of the book “Blindness” by Saramago. As we all know, the book is never like the movie. Although you may find some similarities.

It looks like negotiations are moving forward for a sequel to Spike Lee’s Inside Man. Universal has placed Terry George in the writer’s seat with Lee set to come back and direct.
Currently called Inside Man 2, the characters played by Clive Owens, bank robber, and Denzel Washington, negotiator, remain in the sequel. However, Lee wants the script to be high-dynamic. Even more than the original.
Lee thought the original script was good but he wants it to be even better with a new high-tension situation.
