Movie Posters: A pretty mediocre copy of the "8MM" poster. The minute I get a cleaner copy I'll add it. Also a great scan of the "Thin Red Line" poster and one for the Juliette Lewis/Diane Keaton starrer "The Other Sister." Thanks to 'Michael' and 'Kevin.' The World is Not Enough: Sophie Marceau ("Braveheart") will co-star in the latest installment of the James Bond franchise. She will play Elektra King, the daughter of a murdered oil tycoon whom Bond (Pierce Brosnan) was assigned to protect. Michael Apted directs the still untitled "Bond 19'' picture, which begins production Jan. 11 in locations around the world and is slated for release from MGM on Nov. 19, 1999. Bruce Feirstein is rewriting a script originally written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. American Psycho: Chloe Sevigny ("Kids") is in advanced negotiations to star opposite Christian Bale in the on-again, off-again adaptation of "American Psycho.'' The picture is based on Bret Easton Ellis' gruesome 1991 novel about a Wall Street dealer who maims, tortures and kills his victims and also admires Genesis and Whitney Houston. It is due to begin shooting next spring, with Mary Harron ("I Shot Andy Warhol'') directing from a script she co-wrote with Guinevere Turner. Gladiator: Joaquin Phoenix ("U-Turn") has signed to star opposite Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott's "Gladiator." Phoenix will portray the emperor of Rome in the dramatic epic that is being co-produced by DreamWorks and Universal. It's the story of warriors who battle to protect their empire in the ancient city. Conflicts Of Religion: 'Mango Man' send along a scoop about a possible Mandalay Entertainment project: Mandalay Entertainment is reportedly going to produce "Conflicts of Religion." The film is about a young man, Mitchell Baxter, who questions the existence of god, so he gathers together all of his friends who are of different religions and they discuss their beliefs. The discussions put the friends against Mitchell. Mitchell then must try to make peace with his friends while struggling with his own beliefs. No actors or director tied to the project as of now. The film is written by Anthony Waller ("An american werewolf in Paris) and may also be directed by him. Tristar Pictures will distribute. The Missing Day: Also,

Les Mayfield ("Flubber'') is set to direct the Columbia Pictures action comedy about an ex-con (Lawrence) who impersonates a cop in order to find the jewels he hid before he went to prison. Wilson will play, coincidentally, Wilson, a detective trainee partnered with Lawrence's phony flatfoot. "Blue Streak'' begins shooting Jan 25. Minority Report: Steven Spielberg's collaboration with Tom Cruise, moved a step closer to reality when DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox confirmed they would co-produce the sci-fi thriller. The film is expected to begin shooting next fall. "Minority Report" is based on Jon Cohen's draft of the Philip K. Dick short story about a cop in a futuristic judicial system in which killers are arrested for murders they have yet to commit. The special-effects-heavy picture is expected to cost in the relatively thrifty $80 million neighborhood, plus substantial gross participation by Cruise and Spielberg.

Their friendship with her ended when she moved away at age 12, but something closer to love blossoms between her and each man as she re-emerges when they are in their late 20s.
