I got an email from Will Reynolds at Obsessed With Film that almost made me shit my pants. Here's what Will said: Thought I'd send this along to you – Matthew Vaughn has written in The Guardian (the newspaper that got Paddy Considine killed!) that his script… Continue reading
John Carter of Mars director Andrew Stanton and screenwriter Mark Andrews came to Tarzana California to visit the Edgar Rice Burroughs archives at the ERB, Inc offices (and yes, Tarzana is in fact named after Tarzan). While there they talked with Burroughs… Continue reading
