New Big Fish image from Yahoo! movies

September 25, 2003 Big Fish, Projects

Yahoo! Movies has a posted a few new photos from Big Fish, including this shot that opens the trailer.

The trailer, by the way, is nearly finished. I’d hope to see it attached to movies within the next few weeks.

Special GO screening Nov. 25th at the ArcLight

September 19, 2003 Go, News

story to glory logoOn Tuesday, November 25th, GO is being screened as part of the “Story to Glory” series at the ArcLight Cinema in Hollywood, followed by a Q&A with me. Will I say something profound and brilliant? No. But I’ll hopefully be coherent.

I haven’t seen GO on a big screen since 1999, so I’ll probably just watch it beforehand so I remember the plot. Plus, the ArcLight is by far my favorite movie theater in Los Angeles, since they let you reserve your individual seat. Along with my TiVo and my Prius, the ArcLight is one of my favorite modern conveniences.

The ArcLight theaters are big, so I’m not expecting it to sell out. But as soon as there is ticket information, I’ll put it up.

This film series began in September 2002, and is held every second Tuesday, screening a different movie and interviewing its screenwriter afterwards. It’s run by the Scriptwriters Network.

Big Fish release date now December 10th

September 18, 2003 Big Fish, Projects

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.
