Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Variety reports that Arnon Milchan's New Regency is near deals for David Mamet to adapt "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" as a vehicle for Al Pacino, with Harold Becker directing. The film will be produced by Art Linson. Mamet will adapt the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, and Becker's William Morris agent John Burnham is finalizing his deal to shape the vehicle for Pacino. It's touted that the pic will stick much closer to the novel than the numerous movies that have been adapted from it. Let's hope it will be better than ''Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde'' :-)

February 10th 1998 - Movie News/Rumours
The Mask Of Zorro - A cool poster-ish image, I have no idea if it's real or not, but it's cool, so who cares? Thanks to the always-impressive Jawad for the image, who also has some cool Jurassic Park 3 news today on his website, check it out!

Golden Raspberry Awards - On the eve of the Oscar nominations for the best in movies, "Batman and Robin'' was the runaway favorite yesterday for the title Worst in Hollywood. The film, which stars George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell, picked up 11 Golden Raspberry award nominations. The second biggest nominee for the tongue-in-cheek awards was Sandra Bullock's "Speed 2: Cruise Control,'' which is up for eight Razzies. Last year's worst actress, Demi Moore, has a chance to make it two in a row for her performance in "G.I. Jane.'' But she has stiff competition from Bullock, Fran Drescher for "The Beautician and the Beast,'' Lauren Holly for "A Smile Like Yours'' and ''Turbulence'' and Alicia Silverstone for "Excess Baggage.'' - More Info.
Star Wars Prequel 1 - A Star Wars fan has created his own Prequel teasers and trailers, they might be cool to check out. They can be downloaded here - and the filenames are 'teaser.zip', 'trailer.zip' and 'trailer3.zip'. I hear they are very good, but since I haven't seen them myself, I can't really comment on them. You just have to see for yourself!
Highlander 4 - Rumours indicate Christopher Lambert will make an appereance in the movie. His role will be similiar to Sean Connery's role in the original.
Bruce Campbell - Everyone knows Bruce Campbell is interested in his internet fans, and since I love his work, I thought I'd send him an E-Mail where I also asked him if he perhaps would care to take a look at my website, he did!, and here's his groovy feedback:
"Hey, this web site doesn't suck as much as I thought it would!"
Thanks Bruce! I'll take that as a compliment :-) Anyway, he will make a small cameo-appereance in the "From Dusk Till Dawn" sequel, and that's a very good reason to check out the upcoming vampire movie!
Test Screening Review - here's a cool test screening review of the third MTV-flick "Dead Man On Campus." There are some small spoilers in it, so don't say I didn't warn you!
"Dead Man On Campus" - Test Screening Review

The Mask Of Zorro - Another cool image from the upcoming Antonio Banderas-Anthony Hopkins movie, "The Mask of Zorro" can be viewed right here. - Thanks to Jawad for the alert!
World On A Wire - Playing roles ranging from the psychotic soldier in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket'' to the grotesque villain in "Men In Black'' has made Vincent D'Onofrio a busy actor who hardly gets recognized on the street. But he'll risk losing that anonymity with a flurry of new projects. Variety says he'll star in "World on a Wire'' playing a character who is actually two different people. He's also joining James Spader in the big-budget sci-fi film "Supernova'' starring as a man who falls in love with a computer. He says he has always relished his off-kilter roles because in most scripts, "the supporting characters are all more interesting than the leads.''
Eaters Of The Dead - It seems like the rumours of the Arnold Schwarzenegger cameo in EOTD were in fact false. He hasn't been spotted in any of the test sceenings of the early cut. But there's no way to be sure until we've seen the movie for ourselves :-)
Box Office - "Titanic" won the top spot at U.S. movie theaters for the eighth straight week, bringing in $23.2 million and becoming the fourth highest grossing movie of all-time with a total $337.5 million.

The highest grossing film ever in the United States is "Star Wars," with a lifetime total of about $461 million. Moving into the number two spot on the weekend box office chart was "The Replacement Killers,'' followed by "Good Will Hunting'' at third, "Blues Brothers 2000'' at fourth, and "Great Expectations'' at fifth.

Three To Tango - Neve Campbell, star of the two "Scream" films and TV's "Party of Five," is in talks to star in the Warner Bros. romantic comedy "Three to Tango," sources said Friday. If she signs on to the project, Campbell would fit the job into her hiatus from "Party of Five. No other major cast members are attached to "Tango," nor has a director been signed.

Douglas will work closely with Mostow on developing the script for "U-571." The movie is a World War II action thriller about the search to recover a secret decoding device aboard a German sub.
