Amazon has the Batman Begins Blu-ray giftset on sale for $14.49, 71% off the $50 msrp. The limited-edition Blu-ray gift set includes the original Blu-Ray, The Dark Knight Prologue, 32-page exclusive Dark Knight Prologue book, 16-page comic book adaptation of the first 6 minutes of The Dark Knight, a Batman Begins lenticular, and five collectible post cards.

Justin Theroux Gets His First Studio Directing Gig
Posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
Fresh off his screenwriting gig on Iron Man 2, Variety announces that Justin Theroux has landed his second gig as director, and first for a major studio. In 2007 Theroux directed the indie Dedication, about “about a misanthropic children’s book author who tries to find love with a sweet-natured illustrator”. Now he’ll helm a film called Chief Ron for Universal, based on the story of Chief Ron Roberts, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed chap who claimed Native American ancestry in a bid to open an east coast casino. The real Ron won out, but will Theroux? More after the jump.
After it took the top spot at the box office this weekend and enjoyed relatively good reviews to boot, everyone wants to talk about The Hangover. (The reviews are justified. We didn’t run one, for which I blame E3, but it’s a great comedy.) Some folks are persistently calling it a sleeper hit, which is absurd; as Jeff Wells points, out, it’s just a hit. Period. Todd Phillips took a mediocre script, seriously reworked it and worked with his producers to secure a solid, cheap trio to headline the project. The result is gold. But is it also true? Nikki Finke claims to have the scoop on the ‘real’ Hangover story. But that’s not even as interesting as what happened between script and screen. Read More »

Posted on Sunday, June 7th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
A couple months ago, Chud reported that Richard Linklater briefly talked up a ’spiritual sequel’ to Dazed and Confused while at an appearance in Austin, TX.
