Hollywood stories for Monday, 8 October 2007

Hi, everyone... Here's this week's batch of Hollywood stories from around the internet...


Peter Weller, star of "Buckaroo Banzai" and "RoboCop," can add "college professor" to his resume as well.

The trailer for the Tim Burton's film version of "Sweeney Todd" with Johnny Depp has premiered.

Read more about the author of a Hollywood Locations book that I use quite a bit.

If you wanted to download the pilot of the "Stargate Atlantis" series from iTunes, you may have gotten Episode 4 instead.

Owen Wilson made a brief appearance at the premiere of his new film by sneaking into the Academy.

Screenings of "Poltergeist" in theaters to promote the DVD release were from a pan-and-scan master - the DVD is, of course, letterboxed. And even worse, the audio was in MONO!

There's been an arrest in the theft of Indiana Jones materials from the set of the new film.

...And speaking of which, George Lucas made the bold statement this week that "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" will be better than "Raiders of the Lost Ark." We'll see about that...

Have a great week!
