SAM RAIMI SPILLS NEW UPDATE ON "WARCRAFT MOVIE"
Sam Raimi has just revealed that "Saving Private Ryan" writer Robert Rodat will be writing the "Warcraft" script. Although it was believed that the movie will be an adaptation of the book "Arthas: Rise of the Lich King", it will actually be an original effort based in the universe of the popular online role-playing game, encompassing its lands, characters and storylines, but it won't necessarily be based on the original central characters.
According to Raimi "the hope is to properly capture the Horde and the Alliance and the mythology that takes place in the game, and the archetypes that the game presents. I think we would try and find touchstones within the game to make it accurate and true and choose one or some of the lands that are portrayed in the game with as much accuracy and authenticity as possible."

DEAR LORD, ROLAND EMMERICH IS DOING SHAKESPEARE!
While promoting yet another of his apocalyptic blockbusters, "2012", director Roland Emmerich has shed some light on his upcoming projects. Beside doing an adaptation of Issac Asimov's book "Foundation" he'll also do a new project called "Anonymous", and according to "Movieweb" it will be his next picture. Believe it or not it's about William Shakespeare, and here's what he says about it:
"It's been eight years I've been trying to do this project. It was always supposed to be my next movie but this time I'm really doing it because I'm already set to shoot on March 22nd and I'm the casting process right now which for me is the most kind of nerve-racking because you have to make decisions. And I start shooting in four or five days the first plates in England. It's about how it came to be that William Shakespeare was not the author of his plays. It's not Christopher Marlowe, it's Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. It's kind of like a political thriller. It's about who will succeed Elizabeth and the cause of that thriller, the Essex Rebellion, and we learn how the plays were written by somebody else.

New post coming. . .soon?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Random thoughts from today (and no imagery): I like imagining a world where I don't hear or see anything about or from Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck. The Nobel Prize for Obama? It seems premature but I understand it can be given for encouragement's sake. Unfortunately, I forget how much many Americans fear and loathe European values. Some of the trees have lost all their leaves. If you find a connection between the last line and the previous few, let me know.
