To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Child's Play, a group of people dressed as Chucky descended on New York City brandishing knives and axes. Very freaky looking.

A fan-made alternate sequence to replace the scene in Gremlins 2 where the film appears to break and the gremlins invade a John Wayne movie. I love the Indiana Jones sequence.
Here's the making of the sequence. [via]...
/Film has posted more information about the Tron 2 teaser trailer that I posted yesterday. It appears it wasn't actually a trailer rather it was the product of 6 months of hard work by director Joseph Kosinski who made the 3-minute teaser to convince Disney that a remake was commercially viable....
Here's an extremely poor quality bootleg trailer for the Tron remake due out in 2010. I've never seen the original so I don't really know what it's about or if it was any good. Is it worth renting? [via]...

Police in Michigan have arrested a man who they say tried to steal posters and other items related to the new Batman movie from a cinema lobby while dressed up as the Joker. He was dressed in a green wig, purple suit and had his face painted to look like the Joker. Link [via]...

I'm a huge fan of the first Scream movie, and the other two weren't too bad, but I'm not sure if a fourth installment would work.
I can still remember getting tickets from FHM to watch an early screening of the movie and being gutted when Drew Barrymore was killed in the opening scene. I watched the movie a year before getting access to the Internet so hadn't read anything about the movie....
I learnt about a site today whilst completing a survey on YouGov that is going to allow members of the public to take part in the production of a real movie.
CoProducer.org will allow people to choose the title of the movie, audition for roles, evaluate the script, choose the best trailer, edit the movie, help market it. Basically, people will have a say in every aspect of the movie.
The movie has already been funded so they aren't looking for people to contribute any more money. To reward people who contribute, if you complete between 6 and 12 surveys you will be entitled to receive an equal share of 55% of all profits.
If you want to take part, you need to visit the CoProuducer website and enter your email address before the end of July....

From the description on YouTube:-
Amblin' (1968) is the first completed film shot by Steven Spielberg on 35mm. The film is a short story set during the hippy era of the late '60s about a young couple who meet up in the desert, become friends, then lovers and make their way to a paradisiacal beach.
Here's the full movie.

/Film has posted some information about how the 20 minutes of The Dark Knight was shot with 70mm IMAX cameras. They have also posted the above image which shows how much more you get to see compared to the standard 35mm widescreen version.
The IMAX cinema that was fairly close to where I live has closed but luckily the IMAX in London, which has the largest screen in Britain, will still be showing TDK when I visit there in August....

A Russian news channel has broadcast footage of the aftermath of one of James Bond's Aston Martin that was trashed while filming the opening scene of Quantum of Solace.
The driver lost control of 007 Daniel Craig's £130,000 DBS beside Lake Garda in Northern Italy -where the opening action scenes for new Bond movie Quantum Of Solance are being filmed - early yesterday.
He swam ashore and was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The crumpled car was later pulled out of the water by a crane.
Judging by the footage at the end of the clip, Bond has still got more Aston Martins to play with (five to be exact). [via]
