Thanks to Alfredo for the heads-up From Jason Reitman's blog: “Thank You For Smoking” will be released March 17th in LA, NY, and DC. The following Friday (24th), the film will open in a dozen other major markets. The Friday after that, it will go wide. In the mean time, we are doing these promotional screenings where I’m doing Q&A’s. I haven’t been involved in putting them together so I can’t really speak to how to attend or where to go. So far, most of the screenings have happened in local movie theaters. The AMC/Loews at Boston Commons. The AMC in Georgetown. However, we also did a screening on campus at the University of Washington. It’s a mixed bag. ==================== Even though this is from Contact Music, I thought Jason's remarks about Katie were sweet: REITMAN DEFENDS 'COOL' HOLMES Reitman was terrified about working with Holmes at first because he knew he'd have to persuade her to take part in a gritty love-making scene, but she was a cool professional. And the director feels she has been unfairly treated by the media and critics alike. He says, "I feel awful because I really like Katie. I think she's just lovely and she was so cool to do this movie. She was cool for doing four days of shooting, where two of those days she's in bed with AARON ECKHART's character. "On the third day, she's in a mock hurricane where we got rain towers on her and three guys throwing c**p at her head. That's a tough gig and, like the other actors, she did it for no money. "I'm completely grateful and it kills me to see her get hammered the way she is." ================ More (less?) on the "lost sex scene" c/o Contact Music: Reitman Explains Lost Sex Scene Batman Begins sequel tidbit from EW (3/3/06)
===================== More on the Bat-sequel from Yahoo News: Hollywood prepares more 'Batman,' 'Superman' sequels: reports A report says that Katie won't be going to Columbia University. We say duh. Report also says Katie's dad is trying to get the $500 deposit back. We say bs. |
