I have other ideas for Cellular, how about a young driver finally goes insane and starts killing people who use the cellular phone, while driving. I almost got into a wreck because a woman swerved into my lane with out warning. She didn't even notice me. Yap yap yap yap yap...ah oh wrong forum. <BR> <BR>Yeah sounds really cool. I hope he doesn't get cancer from all that phone useage. hehe

I heard a rumor that Cellular is now going forward and is being cast right now. Does anyone have any information about this movie? I am curious to find out what actors are attached.

Far out! (thats an old 70's expression, Jag, which means cool, or "kewl") Thanks Pat! I nominate Bambi to be the Electric guest on set. Then she could tell us all about it. <BR> <BR>Smallville, isn't it? New Line is doing one here around Charleston, called "The Notebook".(from a book by Nicholas Sparks) Its good reading, a romance/tragedy, and the first book in quite a while that(besides not being very lengthy thus making it timely possible) held my attention to read it front to back in one sitting. I surprised even myself. <BR> <BR>Pat, with D.D. and Electric producing, you Bostonians are in for a treat!

So what's the deal Dean? This film begins lensing in Boston in March, right? Who's starring in it? Will it be Ledger? It'd be nice to get the info here first for once, instead of seeing the scoop printed on some other site somewhere. <BR> <BR>Signed, Electric/Centropolis fan, Agent "pouty face" Pat ;o)

Dean, Dean, ...no,no,no....Gene,Gene the Dancing Machine! Sorry pouty face, got carried away. But yes, I think that would be a good idea also. I have other questions too. A lot of things in the movie industry seem to happen last minute, or even secretive, or whatever. What are the reasons? Is it just the rushed schedules? Stock linked, or something to that effect? Worries of another co. doing something similar and getting beat out of the starting gate? I'm not really complaining, just curious. The movie industry has helped us out more than once. First Dean with The Patriot, my sons Sony Playstation2 with his earnings from Radio, and my Mom had the day of her life getting to meet James Garner on the set of The Notebook. <BR> <BR>Sheri, I like the Viking kitties, My-Ra likes the Samurai kitties the best.

Hop-scotching back to New Line a bit, there was this great article in our paper about Nick Cassavetes, the director of The Notebook being filmed here. Mr. Devlin, you can relay to your contacts at N.L. that he's doing a great job. The man's a born leader with a smile for everyone and really gets in there with his actors to entice and draw out of them what he's looking for. Ryan Gosling's (I think he's from Canada Sheri and Starr :-) in it as well as Gena Rowlands, Sam Shepherd, and Rachel McAdams. Without going into tooo much detail, there's some 1940's scenes with lots of period vehicles. Engines revving, tires squealing, too cool! I've seen several people involved in The Patriot,too. For several minutes I got to stand right next to Rachel, and you know Jag, OMG, for a few moments I think I was beginning to get a little twitterpated myself, but after all, she is the cutest quail in the whole covey!!!

*and* I had the thrill of seeing the full length trailer for Cellular at a benefit screening of The Notebook (wonderful love story, highly recommended, go see it and don't forget your tissues) <BR> You know how at the end of a trailer in the theatre you hear people whispering to each other and little comments and a little buzz? Well at the end of the Cellular trailer, the entire audience were chitter chatter, chitter chatter. It was cool. Some guy behind me said "Wow, a movie about cell phones! It's going to be goooood!"
