DAN'S   MOVIE   DIGEST

MOVIE NEWS

WESTERN

Luc Besson's comedy Western, starring Salma Hayek (right) and Penélope Cruz as feisty bank robbers now has two Norwegian directors - Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg.

Western will be their first film, having previously worked in publicity. The budget has been set at $35 million budget and filming begins in Mexico in late-2004.

DARKWATCH - CURSE OF THE WEST

Writer-directors James Wong and Glen Morgan (Final Destination) will write and direct Darkwatch - Curse Of The West.

The film is based on a video-game that has yet to be released, about a secret organization dedicated to fighting the forces of evil. The movie is set in the Wild West, and focuses on a cowboy/train robber called Jericho Cross who is recruited by the organisation to battle a horde of vampires and other supernatural creatures.

DEATH, JR

'Variety' reports that production-management company 'Circle Of Confusion' and video game development company 'Backbone Entertainment' are developing film and comic-book versions of Death, Jr., a 'Backbone' property being developed as a video game for Sony's forthcoming PSP (a portable version of the PlayStation 2).

The film will be a directed by Larry Guterman (Son Of The Mask), and revolved around a teenager who wants to be normal but is the Grim Reaper's child. Death, Jr.'s school friends include Pandora, who is afflicted by the constant need to open boxes, and Stigmartha, whose hands bleed when she gets nervous.

The comic and film will be based on the game due out in early-2005, when Sony's PSP is released.

THE PINK PANTHER

The new Pink Panther movie, starring Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Beyonce Knowles, Emily Mortimer and Jean Reno, is about to start production. The film is being written by Martin and directed by Shawn Levy (Cheaper By The Dozen), and revolves around a murdered football coach and his pop star girlfriend (Beyoncé).

Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth will be making her film feature debut in the movie as "French tart" Cheri.

Martin, who has grown a moustache just for the part, was joined by Shawn Levy, producer Robert Simonds and the entire principal cast for a press conference in New York recently, to announce the start of production on the movie. Shooting begins in New York City before moving to Paris.

Robert Simonds: "It's not a sequel, prequel or remake. What Steve has done is taken the essence of the characters and come up with his own reinterpretation of them. We're trying to do something that is very contemporary, fresh and original."

Shawn Levy: "Part of what makes this interesting is that Steve is both playing the role and writing the screenplay, so the whole tone of this reinvention is distinctively Steve's."

"Clouseau is still this absurdist, bumbling character, but now, he's also at the mercy of today's technology and the things that exist in a world today that weren't around thirty or forty years ago. There are a lot of new playthings for Clouseau to screw up. The sense of humour is very much loyal to the original, but thanks largely to Steve's writing; it has a level of wit and very clever, sharp observations about the way the world is now. With the idea of Clouseau unknowingly stumbling through that world, it just feels fresh." And of course, Clouseau had never been shown in Manhattan before.

Steve Martin: "It's being said that I'm going to be the Inspector Clouseau for the 21st Century. It's not quite that much. I'm just going to edge into it four or five years and then I'll be dead."

Martin had qualms at first, but when he found "his own voice", he began to feel more comfortable with the role. Some wondered what Martin thought Sellers might think of this remake, to which Martin quipped, "I met him once and he was very nice to me. I think that says it all. He spoke to me comedian to comedian, and he was very friendly and under a lot of health pressure at the time, too."

"I often hear that people are going to remake The Jerk and I have no qualms about that."

Steve Martin on Beyonce Knowles: "I'm so happy for her, since she is helping open the doors for young, black, female actresses. I knew that I would be around all this talent and I'd be able to learn so much, so this is a great experience for me."

"The genesis of the movie is not that interesting, but I ran into Shawn in a parking lot, while I was doing some looping for Cheaper By The Dozen."

Shawn Levy: "What's been a treat with this is that we've had a process over a bunch of months working on the screenplay together. It's gotten the benefit of us having spent the last year working together, so hopefully, the streak will continue."

Levy stated that the Pink Panther theme music written by Henry Mancini would be used in the movie in its original form and in several reinterpretations. Football superstar David Beckham had to drop out of the movie due to scheduling problems, but they would have a replacement - a British actor -announced shortly for the role of the football coach.

Steve Martin: "This movie is like getting ready for a sporting event, like an athlete. I feel like we're building up for opening night of a show. When we're rehearsing, we feel the energy building, and I'm starting to have sleepless nights, and it's a little bit different from any another movie. There's a real energy of confidence and a feeling of fun."

The cast also confirmed the absence of Kato, originally played by Burt Kwouk, although Jean Reno's character would essentially be covering similar territory.

KING CONAN

'IGN FilmForce' revealed that writer-director John Milius would like WWE wrestler Triple H (a.k.a Paul Michael Levesque) to replace Arnold Schwarzenneger in his proposed sequel to Conan The Barbarian.

TIDELAND

Director Terry Gilliam (The Brothers Grimm) will direct Tideland in September, from a script written by Gilliam and Tony Grisoni, adapted from a novel by Mitch Cullin about a girl in Texas who escapes the grim reality of her life into a world of fantasy.

She is accompanied on her adventures of the imagination by four disembodied dolls' heads, which will be voiced by well-known actors.
