Reel Facts & Opinions

FACT: If you haven't already, check out the new trailer for the remake of TRUE GRIT by the Coen Brothers, up at http://movies.yahoo.com/

OPINION: Only Jeff Bridges could step into the shoes of The Duke. This has got to be the most anticipated films of what's left of the year. Bring it.

GOOD FACT: New Zealand Prime Minister John Key injected himself into the battle between Peter Jackson and SAG concerning Hobbits, and the issue seemed to be heading towards a resolution. Reports also out of L.A. were leaning towards a resolution to MGM's financial woes, which could have axed the entire film. Reports of a "greenlight" were getting close for shooting in January.

BAD FACT: A fire broke out on Friday at Jackson's Portsmouth Minature studio in New Zealand, destroying one of the few specialist minature building facilities in the world.

OPINION: Can anything else go wrong with this? If anyone can pull this disaster together, it's Jackson. Hopefully, THE HOBBIT films will get made, and the end result on the screen will not reflect any of the woes this project has had from Day One. Maybe PJ shouldn't have waited so damn long to get the thing started. Stupid LOVELY BONES.

Whay say you?
