‘Solace’ grosses $70.4 million at box office.
The biggest opening ever for a James Bond title and a major victory for a film franchise nearly half a century old. Previous record-holder for best Bond opening was the $47.1 million for “Die Another Day.” Director Marc Forster’s “Solace,” playing in 3,451 runs, opened 74% higher than the 2006 critically acclaimed “Casino Royale,” which gave a new look and feel to the Bond franchise, as well as a new 007–Daniel Craig

Inglorious Basterds final casting with Jackson, Cheung
Samuel L. Jackson has muscled his way into a part as a rarely present narrator and Maggie Cheung, who won the Cannes Best Actress prize in 2004 for Clean, will play Madame Mimieux, the French cinema matron who cares for Basterd’s protagonist Shoshana (Mélanie Laurent) when she is being searched for by the Nazis. Cheung won the role over other European actresses once rumored for the part including Catherine Deneuve, Nastassja Kinski and Isabelle Hupport.

Australia
This looks radical.
Australia is an epic and romantic action adventure, set in that country on the explosive brink of World War II. In it, an English aristocrat (Nicole Kidman) travels to the faraway continent, where she meets a rough-hewn local (Hugh Jackman) and reluctantly agrees to join forces with him to save the land she inherited. Together, they embark upon a transforming journey across hundreds of miles of the world’s most beautiful yet unforgiving terrain, only to still face the bombing of the city of Darwin by the Japanese forces that attacked Pearl Harbor. With his new film, Luhrmann is painting on a vast canvas, creating a cinematic experience that brings together romance, drama, adventure and spectacle.

INGLORIOUS BASTARDS SCRIPT
Okay
Talk about the Basterds HERE.
Here is the screenplay junkies. Get it before it gets shut down.
Super quick post today but always worthy. I also created a new category specifcally for Inglorious Bastards; I can’t wait. Aggggggggghhhhhhhh.
The script has leaked, a script insiders are freaking out about. I’ve read it and cannot believe how good this is; better than Pulp Fiction ? I think so. When you get to the Chapter in Paris where it will be filmed in French New Wave Black and White, you won’t believe the mastery.

I’m so stoked on this.
