The print edition of today’s Variety has a story on Steve Buscemi and the IFP Gotham awards. Along with the article is a new photo from BIG FISH, showing Buscemi as Norther Winslow, the greatest poet of both Ashton and Spectre, who later became a robber and tycoon.

Big Fish release date now December 10th
After absolutely, positively deciding on December 18th as the opening date for Big Fish, Columbia is now apparently moving the release date up more than a week to Wednesday, December 10th. The same release pattern still holds: the movie will start out only in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, before expanding into more cities over the following weeks. The movie will be going wide (that is, everywhere) on January 16th, 2004.
Daniel Wallace website now open
Daniel Wallace, author of the novel Big Fish, has opened his own website with information about his books, illustrations and screenplays. It’s great. In fact, it has me sick with envy. Daniel even has links through which you can buy his books from Amazon — which you should, because that way he’ll get an extra couple percent in addition to royalties. 
And if that gets him to write more, well, you’ve done your part to make the world better.
New Big Fish paperback
Penguin is issuing a special paperback version of Daniel Wallace’s “Big Fish” with the new cover artwork. (You can see the bigger version of it here.) The cover is essentially the same as the upcoming one-sheet poster.
