News Flash: Coppola to script new Cameron film

In a major departure for both Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron, a spokesman for John Dhein (producer of the new Cameron film) confirmed that Coppola has agreed to terms and will write the screenplay for Dhein’s venture. The subject of the new movie is not known, but it believed to have nothing to do with either aliens or Italians.

Coppola discounted concerns that he would have difficulty in writing for Cameron, who heretofore has written many of his own films, saying ‘I don’t really think that he will interfere, but in any case, nothing he could do would be worse than working with Brando again’.

Cameron too, has brushed aside the potential for any conflict, saying that after listening to all of the criticism of the Titanic plot, he would just be happy to stay on the set the camera and let someone else take the blame for shopworn storylines.

News Flash: Journalists Placing Way Too Much Emphasis on Show Biz Updates
Despite the fact that there's a war going on in Iraq, major media outlets seem abnormally focused on delivering up-to-the-minute reports from Hollywood. "When I hear a news flash, I expect something major, like a hijacking or an earthquake or something," said an anonymous CNN viewer, "not some bull**** item about James Cameron." Sources indicate that this phenomenon may be linked to recent rumors of a media power play by Mary Hart, but this theory remains unconfirmed at this time.

Press Release: Chastened Hollywood Moguls Surprised At Backlash

“We had no idea that news outside the industry was of importance”, admitted a spokesperson. “Or indeed that there was any news at all. After all, the last time any of us ventured any opinions about the outside world, we were told that we should just be quiet”.

Questioned sharply by reporters, the spokesperson did admit to being vaguely aware of earthquakes. “After all, I do live in California”, was the concession.

News Flash: Hollywood Update Sues
Hollywood Update, the company that provides News Flashes on upcoming Hollywood stories discovered today that "major media outlets" were reprinting their stories without permission. "Hey, we're a small organization that provide News Flashes to a small community of film buffs. As a matter of fact, we really only thought a small group of HTF fanatics even got our news. The idea that these big time journalists are stealing our stories without any compensation is very upsetting." Asked which "major media outlets" he was talking about, the respose was a cryptic, "I'm not sure. Let me check with Chuck and I'll get back to you." Asked how they could launch a lawsuit without knowing who they were suing, their lawyer, Lionel Hutz replied, "Details, details."

Did I miss something? Kurosawa picked as a screenwriter after he's been picked as a director? WTF?

 

[Angelo.M]

OK, read post #44. Should have read it the first time.

I disagree with the rules; too late, of course. I think this would have been much more interesting without any repeats in the draft.

I'll take David Mamet as my screenwriter.
